Nutrition for Gaining Muscle
So, if I wanted to eat to promote muscle gain, what types of things should I be eating? I am completely new to this and have no idea where to start.

Ack! Soy!
I know that soy is a big, big no no with throid issues. Until reading a recent posts, it never occured to me to check the foods I've been eating for soy. I keep asking myself how I could be so dense to make that connection. So, I have been investigating the food in my pantry and fridge. I am so disappointed with what I…

Lowering Cortisol Levels
I know that cortisol levels are related to stress levels. One of my docs told me that my cortisol levels are high and that I wouldn't really be able to loose much weight until they come down. However, she was not very helpful in explaining to me how to go about lowering my levels. Any suggestions would be greatly…
