of refined carbohydrates and hydrogenated oils. If you still have a problem,
some supplements can help improve cholesterol naturally.

People with hypoglycemia are at risk of developing diabetes. Many will be

which occur as sugar levels fall. If you’re hypoglycemic, have a small glass of
whole milk when you feel dizzy rather than a glass of orange juice, which can
lead to rapidly recurring symptoms.
SUPPLEMENT WITH
• Chromium, 1000 to 3000 mcg/daily
• Zinc, 50 to 100 mg/daily
• Essential fatty acids, 4 g/daily
• Lipoic acid, 150 to 300 mg/daily
• L-carnitine, 500 to 1,500 mg/daily
• Coenzyme Q10, 100 mg/daily
Candida and Yeast Infections
Candida albicans is a yeast that normally resides in our intestines. Low-fat diets,
use of antibiotics, and immune suppression can all cause overgrowth of yeast,
and that’s bad for hormones. If you suffer from frequent yeast infections, avoid
