Hot flashes are not simply the price of admission to menopause. They are a dynamic signal of neuroendocrine stress, metabolic inflexibility, and sympathetic overdrive—often amplified by inefficient catecholamine clearance.

Dr. Ben Bikman on Insulin Resistance
Dr Ben Bikman, author of “Why We Get Sick” and associate profession at Brigham Young University spoke in a Diet Doctor podcast. Dr. Bikman studies the hormone insulin. As a PhD, unlike physicians he points out that, he is fortunate because he gets paid to be curious. He describes insulin resistance as both high levels … Read more
