Most of them leave the office in a very discouraged state of mind, with the phrase &#8220;nothing can be done&#8221; ringing in their ears. The macula is a tiny spot in the center of the retina that enables you to distinguish the fine detail in the center of your visual field.

Today, ophthalmologists remove cataracts and insert lens implants as skillfully (and, it appears, as effortlessly) as you tie your shoes. As a bonus, Medicare picks up the tab because almost all surgery is performed on people over age 65. At WholeHealth Chicago, we believe you don&#8217;t necessarily have to develop cataracts. They may be a normal part of aging (rather than a disease), but they&#8217;re not inevitable. While no medicine is available to reverse cataracts, plenty of evidence exists on how lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements can significantly lessen your chances of developing them in the first place. Even if you&#8217;ve developed the start of a cataract, you can keep it from worsening. <\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2006\/10\/02\/nutritional-health-for-your-eyes\">Nutritional Health for Your Eyes<\/a><time datetime=\"2006-10-02T10:09:53-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">October 2, 2006<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">I was considerably cheered recently when I visited my ophthalmologist for a check-up and saw a shelf of vitamins in his lobby.

While B.V. isn&#8217;t classified as a traditional sexually transmitted disease (STD), it predominantly affects sexually active women. This condition arises due to shifts in vaginal conditions, triggered by factors such as antibiotics, changes in birth control methods, well-meaning douching practices, and even wardrobe choices like spandex or nylon underwear. Symptoms vary from absence (detected incidentally during routine PAP smears) to a thin, greyish-white, and itchy discharge. A savvy health care practitioner can diagnose B.V. based on symptoms, discharge appearance, and microscopic examination. The standard prescription often includes metronidazole, available as a vaginal cream or tablet, but boric acid suppositories have also been a trusted option for nearly a century. Additionally, maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome with probiotics can be beneficial.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"whc-kb-title wp-block-heading\">Thyroid, Adrenal, &amp; Sex Hormone Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list has-dates whc-kb-posts wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/06\/testosterone-for-men-and-yes-it-really-works\">TESTOSTERONE FOR MEN, AND, YES, IT REALLY WORKS<\/a><time datetime=\"2026-04-06T22:19:25-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">April 6, 2026<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">In middle age, you, as a man, or your sexual partner (keeping this observation to her\/himself), might notice a group of symptoms due to a slow but inevitable decline of\u2026 <a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/06\/testosterone-for-men-and-yes-it-really-works\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: TESTOSTERONE FOR MEN, AND, YES, IT REALLY WORKS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/15\/a-checklist-of-overlooked-causes-of-chronic-fatigue-2\">A CHECKLIST OF OVERLOOKED CAUSES OF CHRONIC FATIGUE<\/a><time datetime=\"2025-09-15T21:00:00-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">September 15, 2025<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">If there\u2019s one single symptom that brings patients most frequently into the offices of WholeHealth Chicago, it\u2019s this: \u201cI\u2019m tired all the time and doctors can\u2019t find anything wrong.\u201d The\u2026 <a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/15\/a-checklist-of-overlooked-causes-of-chronic-fatigue-2\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: A CHECKLIST OF OVERLOOKED CAUSES OF CHRONIC FATIGUE<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2025\/05\/12\/underdiagnosed-hypothyroidism\">WHEN YOU\u2019RE NOT GETTING HELP WITH YOUR THYROID<\/a><time datetime=\"2025-05-12T16:09:38-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">May 12, 2025<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Let\u2019s start with two thyroid facts: The diagnosis of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone) is missed by most physicians.
