Symptoms of [Women's] Hormone Imbalance | WholeHealth Chicago

"You might think of testosterone as more of a male hormone, but it’s vital for women as well. Low testosterone generally occurs during the pre-menopause years and is responsible for low energy and low sex drive. High testosterone appears as part of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and can cause menstrual irregularities, weight gain, facial hair, abnormal sugar metabolism, and susceptibility to acne."

Inexpensive food a key factor in rising obesity"

There are plenty of healthy low-cost foods that we could choose to eat and most of them are on the "WIC" approved foods you will find in the grocery store--beans, rice, eggs, grains, soy products, fresh or frozen fruits/veggies, milk, canned fish(tuna or salmon). "Americans are spending a smaller share of their income (or corresponding amount of effort) on food than any other society in history or anywhere else in the world, yet get more for it."

Patients Can Now Choose Not to Know Their Own DNA Secrets - Scientific American

How about addressing the obvious--Obesity, poor nutrition, lack of exercise--Exposing "genetic clues" might offer an incorrect cause for a preventable excuse?

"When doctors test for one reason, clues to an entirely different disease may emerge. Sometimes those genetic clues provide an early warning that will save a life, but they can also be wrong, leading to unnecessary stress and risky treatments."

" it’s not just disrupted sleep that can lead to these myriad physiological symptoms; it’s also the altered patterns of food consumption that go along with keeping such strange hours."

"But humans, particularly those in developed countries with abundant artificial light, late-night TV, and 24-hour diners, have been putting themselves through an inadvertent experiment over the last few decades. No longer does daylight dictate the times when we eat. “That is the cycle that has gone wrong in the last 50 years,” says Panda.

With caution and caveats, one could speculate that this is, in part, why obesity and metabolic disorders have escalated to epidemic levels, particularly when mistimed eating is coupled with a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. It stands to reason that our metabolic functions, as controlled by the circadian clock, evolved to cycle in harmony with the Earth’s daily rhythms, to optimize processes such as energy use and storage. In doing so, we became adapted to eat during the daytime, and maladapted for eating at night. Opposing these rhythms, as many of us now do, may challenge our bodies’ normal cycles and set us up for disease. “Like many evolutionary arguments, it’s hard to prove,” says Lazar. “But otherwise it’s hard to imagine why else we would need things so tightly linked to the Earth’s rotation.”

This increases the metabolic rate and is thought to have potential weight loss effects, which in turn could help with conditions such as type-2 diabetes."
