Twice a week I join up with my HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group and sword fight. My wife and I participated with group sparing yesterday. It is a wonderful group of peeps.

We all live very stressful lives. Stresses come in the form of phone calls, getting cut off in traffic, and angry outbursts from people around us. These short bursts of stress act like a bear chasing you through the woods. Every time that “fight or flight” signal kicks in, it is the physiological equivalent of eating a donut. Literally.

If you don’t already, you need a physical release valve. You must have a physical outlet 3-6 days per week to burn off the accumulating adrenalin and cortisol or your anxiety, depression and fatigue will overwhelm you. Research shows that progressive repetitive daily bouts of stress that aren’t physically dissipated leads to weight gain, anxiety and depression.

Hair loss is an issue that I am asked about quite frequently. With any dietary change, transient hair loss can occur in the first 2-3 months but will usually resolve. Continued hair loss is a problem with any diet and if you are experiencing hair loss it could be due to one of five issues:
1. Medication
2. Lack of protein or caloric restriction
3. Hypothyroidism
4. Iron Deficiency
5. Hormone imbalance (especially estrogen dominance or poly-cystic ovarian syndrome)

Dr. Nally discusses these and how to address them in his most recent YouTube video. Check it out below.
