In today's broadcast we will be further exploring relationships between thyroid disorders and miscarriage. Specifically we will be discussing current concepts regarding more stringent criteria for TSH evaluation in pregnant females, the role of thyroid antibodies alone in affecting recurrent miscarriages, and novel treatments for these issues.

Today we will be discussing brain fog, which is a symptom we see often in our clinic for patients who have Hashimoto's thyroiditis but also fibromyalgia and mast cell activation disorders.  In today's broadcast we will discuss the most recent research on why autoimmune thyroid patients may have brain fog.

Today we will be covering new information as it relates to Hashimoto's as well as summarizing the literature to date on this condition with an emphasis on environmental factors.

Today we will be discussing exciting new research that is demonstrating links between early life stress and modulation of genetics for cortisol receptors in the brain.  This new research is opening up our understanding of how trauma can influence physiologic responses years later and therefore be associated with conditions of chronic pain and chronic fatigue.

Adrenal insufficiency can be primary due to damage of the adrenal glands (referred to as Addison's Disease). It can also be secondary when there is pathology affecting the pituitary in the brain. There is emerging scientific evidence that there may be a subclinical form of Addison's Disease, raising the question as to whether testing for Addison's should be part of the differential diagnostic work up for a patient with fatigue. In today's broadcast we will explore these issues in greater detail.

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), has long been thought of as a liver disorder. While there is evidence of decreased clearance of harmful metabolites, the majority of new literature is focusing on the brain as being the primary instigator and propagating factor of this illness. In today's broadcast we will highlight some of the new research coming out on MCS and how this may translate into new therapies for this disorder.

Today we will be discussing how the brain's modulation of the vagus nerve affects glucose levels. Frequently we discuss the two sides of the autonomic nervous system which for all intents and purposes involve rest and digest responses juxtaposed with fight and flight reactions. While the majority of discussions surrounding diabetes involve insulin resistance at the level of the liver or skeletal muscle, today we will highlight how insulin resistance is being observed in the brain, how this affects diabetes, as well as novel treatments designed to increase vagal nerve tone for the treatment of diabetes.

Last week we did a broadcast on schizophrenia and food intolerances.  We had a lot of feedback on this video as well as questions regarding niacin and this disorder.  In today's broadcast we will explore this relationship in greater detail.

We have had a number of requests to talk about schizophrenia during one of our weekly broadcasts.  While this is a complicated disorder with a significant genetic component, there is a mounting line of evidence suggesting that individuals with this disorder have immune reactions to foods and that the immune chemicals to these foods can affect the brain.  In addition, we will discuss new data associating intestinal parasites with the condition and how this affects the immune cells to foods.  While there is not yet a study (to our knowledge) examining these variables in terms of prevention, this research raises the question of preventative strategies for those at highest risk.

Today we will be discussing a scientific article that was highly publicized in the media associating gluten free diets with increased risk of heart disease.  We will attempt to present many aspects of the article we are not seeing reported and what that may mean to you if you are on a gluten free diet.
