Vitamin A is most often associated with vision, but in the body, it performs a much broader range of functions. It is necessary for maintaining mucous membranes, skin, and the normal functioning of the immune system. How effectively the body recovers from damage and copes with infectious load depends on it.
Although the physiological changes of pregnancy develop simultaneously across many systems, different processes may dominate at different stages. In early pregnancy, hormonal shifts, restructuring of vascular tone, activation of the thyroid gland, and increased toxic load associated with the processing of a large volume of hormonal metabolites are more pronounced. In mid-pregnancy, the increasing metabolic load and the expansion of circulating blood volume come to the forefront. In late pregnancy, mechanical and compressive factors related to uterine growth become more prominent.
Pregnancy is a period when the body begins to function under significantly altered conditions. Within a short time, the systems of circulation, digestion, hormonal regulation, immunity, metabolism, and the functioning of internal organs undergo restructuring. These changes are normal and are aimed at the development of the child; however, they require a large amount of resources and stability of all physiological processes.
Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly common, and their selection is often associated with ethical, environmental, or individual preferences. Vegetarian and fully plant-based diets can be viable, but they differ in nutrient composition, absorption, and the need for correction.
Today, food safety is defined not only by freshness but also by the purity of the environment in which food is stored. Modern technologies allow control over every factor - from the gas composition in packaging to the microclimate and container materials.
Humanity has always sought to extend the life of food - from the first farmers drying grain in the sun to modern laboratories with vacuum and freeze-drying systems. The reason is the same as it was thousands of years ago: food is seasonal. The ability to preserve it once meant surviving the winter, waiting for the next harvest, and remaining independent of chance supplies.
Many people believe that if their cholesterol level is normal, their heart is safe. However, statistics show the opposite: heart attacks and strokes often occur in people whose test results do not raise any concerns.
One of the reasons for such “unexplained” cases is lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) - a little-known but extremely important marker of cardiovascular risk.
Imagine someone starts noticing strange, seemingly unrelated symptoms. After a glass of wine — a sudden hot flush, nasal congestion, and a feeling of an oncoming cold. A bit of aged cheese — itching, heaviness in the stomach, bloating. After eating strawberries — a rash that disappears without a trace in a couple of hours.
In the morning — a dull headache “out of nowhere.” Throughout the day — bouts of irritability and anxiety. In the evening — insomnia and restless sleep. Sometimes after eating — a wave of fatigue so strong it feels like the body is “shutting down.” During stress or certain phases of the hormonal cycle — abdominal pain intensifies, dark thoughts appear, only to be suddenly replaced by a burst of energy and hyperactivity.
Multisystem chronic conditions are disorders in which multiple body systems—such as the nervous, vascular, digestive, musculoskeletal, and immune systems—are affected simultaneously. Symptoms can range widely, from dizziness and pain to digestive issues and persistent fatigue.
When the body is exposed to mycotoxins, it’s crucial not only to eliminate the source of mold but also to support the body’s recovery. Nutrition plays a central role in reducing toxic load.
A properly designed diet can help reduce inflammation, support liver and gut function, enhance toxin elimination, and significantly ease symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, food reactivity, and poor tolerance to other therapies — from binders to nutritional supplements.
