Statin medications are the most commonly prescribed drug class in the United States, yet most people are unaware of their potential side effects.

Statins are typically prescribed when cholesterol levels are high. They block the production of cholesterol, but they also block the production of CoQ10, which is vital for muscle and heart health.

If you’re taking statins, CoQ10 can help mitigate the side effects. Ubiquinol is a fast-acting form of CoQ10 and may be the best form to take. A typical amount is 200–400 mg.

Instead of immediately taking statins, ask yourself: Why do you have high cholesterol in the first place? Refined carbohydrates and sugar can contribute to cholesterol production in the body. Low bile, gallbladder problems, or gallbladder removal can also contribute to high cholesterol.

Intermittent fasting for women is often considered dangerous or damaging to hormones, but what if the opposite is true? When done correctly, intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful ways women can support their hormones.

Most women think intermittent fasting is dangerous or that it will wreck their hormones, but much of this concern is based on a faulty animal study.

For women dealing with hormonal problems like PCOS, a sluggish thyroid, menopausal weight gain, or irregular periods, intermittent fasting can be especially beneficial. The caveat is that you have to gear your intermittent fasting plan to your specific biology. The protocol for a woman with PCOS will look different from the protocol for a woman going through menopause.

To start intermittent fasting, you need a fasting window of 14 hours or greater. Many of the benefits of fasting are related to lowering insulin, which allows your body to tap into its fat reserves for fuel.

When insulin is too high, androgens can become elevated and contribute to estrogen dominance and low progesterone. This can affect your mood and contribute to symptoms like facial hair and cystic acne.

By lowering insulin, intermittent fasting can support hormone balance, fertility, and thyroid health and function and help reduce symptoms associated with menopause.

If you’re wondering whether you’re following the right intermittent fasting pattern, go by how you feel.

Most people take collagen for healthy hair, skin, nails, and joints without realizing all of its benefits.
 
Ancestral diets naturally included collagen-rich foods like organ meats, bone marrow, bone broth, cartilage, and bones. Today, only about 1–3% of the protein in the modern diet comes from collagen, even though collagen makes up nearly 30% of the protein in the human body.
 
Collagen is a major structural protein found in connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, fascia, and bones. It also helps support gut health and healthy sleep cycles. As we age, we naturally lose collagen. A diet high in junk food can also accelerate collagen loss.
 
Collagen contains collagen peptides that act as signaling molecules, helping direct repair to the skin, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Rooster comb collagen is one of the highest-quality sources of collagen for skin health, joint health, and gut health. If rooster comb is too difficult to find, chicken feet are an excellent alternative.
 
A collagen deficiency can also contribute to a glycine deficiency. Glycine is essential for bile production, glutathione production, immune function, and many other important processes. Rather than taking a separate glycine supplement, consuming high-quality collagen can help increase your glycine intake.

Over a billion people have sleep apnea, and the majority don’t know that simple airway exercises could offer a potential solution.

Sleep apnea involves a narrow airway with muscles that are too relaxed and weak. The airway can collapse, cutting off your oxygen and interfering with your sleep.

Most people with sleep apnea rely on a CPAP machine for sleep apnea treatment. People are also often told to lose weight to stop sleep apnea, but that only works in about a third of cases.

Do these sleep apnea exercises once a day for 7 minutes. Follow along for a simple demonstration of the following sleep apnea exercises:

1. Tongue root press — Hold pressure for 5 seconds, relax for 2 seconds, and repeat 15 times.
2. Palate lift — Hold the lift at the top for 3 seconds, release, and repeat for 20 reps.
3. Cheek suction and hold — Hold a fish face for 5 seconds, followed by a puff face. Complete 5 cycles.

Low iodine and too much iodine can both affect the thyroid in the same way. You may experience the same low thyroid symptoms, such as weight gain, fatigue, eyebrow thinning, hair loss, cold hands, and cold feet.

Many people have low iodine. If you’re not regularly consuming iodine-rich foods, you could be deficient. People on plant-based diets often have very low levels of iodine.

Iodine often goes under the radar, but its benefits extend beyond the thyroid. It supports cognitive function, helps break down estradiol, and regulates estrogen receptors. Iodine deficiency has been connected to fibrocystic breasts and often improves when you increase your iodine levels. Iodine also supports the health and function of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Too much iodine can trigger autoimmune disease, so avoiding too much is just as important as getting enough.

How much iodine do you need? Most adults need around 150–300 mcg of iodine each day, 220 mcg during pregnancy, and 290 mcg while breastfeeding.
