Isoquercetin: A Novel and Bioavailable Flavonoid Supplement(2)

Flavonols occur naturally in many plant foods and are common components of our daily diet, with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The most common flavonol in the diet is quercetin, which is especially abundant in onions, apples and kale. Like other flavonols, quercetin occurs in foods not as an aglycone, but as glycosides with sugars bound at different positions on the molecule. Isoquercetin is a naturally-occurring, bioavailable form of quercetin that is safe and many times more bioavailable than quercetin aglycone. This presentation will review the differences between the forms, and the advantages and indications for this novel, natural bioflavonoid. Jeremy Appleton, ND is a licensed naturopathic physician and nutraceutical industry professional. He is the author of several books and has published hundreds of articles. He has been the nutrition department chair at the National College of Natural Medicine and is a founding contributor of Healthnotes Newswire. Dr. Appleton is presently the Director of Scientific Affairs at LEF Clinical Research.

Managing Cortisol Levels for Overall Health

Chronically elevated cortisol levels have been implicated in a multitude of conditions, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, diabetes, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, and overweight/obesity. Acting as both a mediator and an inhibitor in the body's stress response, cortisol can cause significant damage to major systems of the body when stress is left unchecked. Managing cortisol levels requires a comprehensive understanding its effects, its fluctuations, and the targeted nutritional strategies that can restore optimal adrenal gland function and directly lower cortisol. Dr. Holly Lucille is a nationally recognized licensed Naturopathic Physician, author and educator. She graduated from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ where she received the prestigious Daphne Blayden Award and is the past president of the California Naturopathic Doctor's Association. She has worked with the LA Free Clinic and recently was awarded the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine Legacy Award for her "contribution to the advancement and development of the field of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Lucille is on the clinical staff of Renaissance Malibu, an addiction and recovery center, and on the faculty of the Global Medicine Education Foundation. A member of the Enzymatic Therapy Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Lucille maintains her private practice, Healing from within Healthcare, in Los Angeles. A frequent lecturer and guest on TV and Radio shows, Dr. Lucille has been featured on Lifetime Television for Women and the Discovery Health Channel. She is the author of Creating and Maintaining Balance: A Women's Guide to Safe, Natural, Hormone Health. (IMPAKT Health, 2004) and recently joined forces with Jon Benson, the author of Fit Over Forty to develop "NaturaPause" an informational audio program focusing on nutrition and exercise to optimize normal hormonal transitions including menopause and andropause.
