Many of you gardeners out there know the joy of watching those spring vegetables send up a bright green sprout.

This first sign of life is full of the promise of a large summer harvest, full of broccoli, beans, peas and maybe even a sunflower or two.

But are you aware of the amazing healing potential and nutritional value in the sprouts? Well keep reading …

Welcome back to our Look Better Naked column! We took the summer off to be naked as much as possible and, man, we looked good!

Remember my patient Kim – the one who didn’t sleep with her husband for three years until we balanced her hormones? She says she has now “discovered” the second secret to a good night’s sleep besides progesterone (something I’ve been trying to tell her for the past year): regular physical exercise!

Exercise IS the closest thing to the fountain of youth we have.

Look Better Naked: Ladies, take care of your hormonal health

OK, ladies, it’s your turn. If you want to look better naked into your golden years, you must address your hormonal health.

I find in my practice that it’s a bit more challenging to optimize and balance women, which is why I refer to this as a woman’s hormonal symphony. It’s a symphony because if all the instruments (hormones) are playing perfectly (optimal levels) but just ONE is out of key (out of balance), the whole musical piece doesn’t sound right (she doesn’t feel right).

So it’s critical to get ALL hormones into balance in order for a woman to feel right.

Looking good can be a LOT of work!

Those of you who already pump away at the gym five days a week know what I’m talking about! Or if you’ve shifted your dietary focus to whole, fresh, organic and raw foods, you’re already spending much more time in the kitchen, and at the grocery store, than most. Yes, diet and exercise are pillars of good health.

But what are some of the others? Managing stress, restful sleep, positive thinking … and for some, a spiritual connection. All of these things affect how you look and feel.
