Ask Dr. Robert Butler

Different Kinds of Dementia?

If your mother-in-law has hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease, it is important that these be properly diagnosed and treated, as all can contribute to vascular forms of dementia and possibly Alzheimer’s disease as well. And if your mother-in-law does have one of the dementias, you need, unfortunately, to be thinking about the future. Are there other family members that could help with caregiving responsibilities so that there would be adequate respite for all? Planning ahead and getting the right support structure in place can be invaluable for minimizing distress not only for your mother-in-law but the entire family as well.

Hunger Hormone Found: Ghrelin

Posted in FYI tagged , , , at 11:02 pm by pcoslady

Newly Discovered Hunger Hormone in PCOS Women
There are dozens of hormones and other signaling molecules that either stimulate or inhibit food intake. They form an exceedingly complex web of interrelationships.
You may have heard that if you could just get control of your insulin, you will not feel as hungry and your weight will melt away. While this is partially true, it’s an oversimplification. In fact, you may have numerous hormones or signaling molecules that are out of balance — either overactive or underactive.

There is no single factor that governs your weight, your fat metabolism or your hunger. It is a bewildering combination of factors, all interacting or influencing one another. An imbalance or disturbance of one signaling molecule will affect others, which in turn will affect still others.

No one, including research scientists and doctors, fully understands the functions and relationships of all these various signaling molecules, particularly as they exist in each unique woman. And, there are probably additional signaling molecules that haven’t yet been discovered.

One recently discovered hormone is called “ghrelin“. It helps to regulate how much food you eat and how much weight you gain.
