Mitochondrial Dysfunction: The Hidden Cause of Chronic Skin Conditions Like Eczema & TSW
Reading Time: 8 minutes. You’re experiencing more than surface-level skin issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction triggers chronic inflammatory cascades in conditions like eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal, disrupting cellular energy metabolism and amplifying oxidative stress. Your skin’s complex inflammatory response stems from compromised mitochondrial complex I, which reduces energy production and activates systemic stress pathways. Uncover the…
Decoding The Differences: Gender-Specific Brain Health Factors
Reading Time: 13 minutes. The human brain is a complex organ responsible for thought, emotion and consciousness. It is affected by various factors that can impact its health. Recent studies suggest that men and women experience these influences differently due to biological characteristics such as hormonal fluctuations, genetic predispositions, and external factors like lifestyle habits…
Hormones In Harmony: Promoting Balance For Optimal Brain Health
Reading Time: 12 minutes. In the complex interplay of our bodily functions, hormones play a crucial role. These chemical messengers regulate many physiological processes, from growth and metabolism to mood and cognition. It is essential to recognise that hormonal balance is vital for optimal health, particularly brain health. When hormones are in equilibrium, they significantly…
