My nephew has had gynecomastia since he was 5 and now at 18, it's reached grade 3. Some doctors recommend homeopathy while others say surgery is needed. He's really struggling with confidence and can't focus on studies. I'm worried and confused what's the best solution with no side effects?

What if I stop eating sugar?

Eliminating sugar could directly affect your physical health, too. Never eating any form of sugar could result in nutrient deficiency, since many nutritious foods have naturally-occurring sugars. If you eliminated fruit, for example, you'd be missing out on many essential nutrients.

I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?

go for thyroid test
