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. In other words, all the truly important stuff of looking at things: reading, watching TV, threading a needle, driving a car. <\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/03\/cataracts\">Cataracts<\/a><time datetime=\"2009-05-03T20:04:30-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">May 3, 2009<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Cataract surgery is truly a wonder of modern medicine. 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.

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<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2023\/10\/02\/common-vaginal-infections-number-1-candida\">Common Vaginal Infections, Number 1: CANDIDA<\/a><time datetime=\"2023-10-02T21:04:48-05:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">October 2, 2023<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">In the realm of women&#8217;s health, few topics carry as much importance and intrigue as common vaginal infections, and Candida, often synonymous with &#8220;yeast infections,&#8221; holds a prominent place in this narrative. Candida, those resilient single-cell organisms, have coexisted with us since time immemorial, occasionally venturing into the spotlight when things down there fall out of balance. This blog post delves into the world of Candida, discussing its prevalence, symptoms, and factors that can tip the scales in its favor. From the relentless use of antibiotics to the sweet tooth of diabetics, we explore the intricate dynamics of Candida overgrowth and offer insights into managing these troublesome vaginal infections. So, join us on this journey into the realm of women&#8217;s health as we unravel the Candida conundrum and empower you with knowledge to foster a healthier vaginal microbiome.<\/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\"><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 noreferrer\">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.
