Like it or not, we all sweat from time to time and that’s a good thing, especially during exercise.  Sweating is how your body regulates your temperature and eliminates toxins.

But is all sweat created equal? 

Not necessarily.

Here are different types of sweat and what they may be saying about you (and your health).

1- You’re approaching menopause

The hormonal changes associated with menopause can trick your brain’s thermostat, making it think you’re overheating, which triggers your body into “cool down” mode, causing you to sweat like crazy (aka hot flashes).

If you’ve been challenged with menopausal symptoms, then bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be a Godsend for you. 

Unlike synthetic drugs, BHRT works to help naturally reestablish the way your body sends messages to your tissues and organs to keep them healthy.

The body has an easier time assimilating bio-identical hormones because they are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally made in your body.

You’ll have to seek out a practitioner that does BHRT—and because it’s more of a holistic therapy, many mainstream doctors are not familiar with it, but it is growing in popularity!

2- Your blood sugar may be low

Excessive sweating can be a symptom of low blood sugar, along with cold, clammy skin, a rapid heartbeat, shakiness, nausea, dizziness, and blurred vision.

If you’re prone to low blood sugar, try to even it out by having healthy snacks on hand like nuts, hard-boiled eggs, cheese or vegetables in between meals.

Also, be sure you’re getting enough Vitamin D, as Vitamin D plays an important role in the regulation of your blood sugar (as well as many other important functions including heart, bone and immune health).

3- You’re having medication side effects

Medications taken for endocrine problems, diabetes, and thyroid disease can trigger excessive sweating.  So can certain high blood pressure drugs, as well as some antidepressants.

If you’re on any of these types of medication and are suffering from excessive sweating, talk to your doctor about alternatives. 

For example, fish oil formulas like VitalMega-3 can be very helpful with high blood pressure and depression!

4- You’re stressed

The sweat your body produces in the normal act of cooling down is made by glands all over the body and contains mostly water and salt.

But when you’re stressed, sweat is produced by glands found only in certain areas like your armpits.  This type of sweat contains fat and protein that interact with the bacteria on your skin and create the wonderful odor we affectionately call BO! 

Although stress is unavoidable at times, do your best to minimize its effect on you.  There are many ways to chill out including deep breathing, meditation, prayer, exercise, a warm bath, therapy and yoga. 

Stress also takes its toll on your gut microbiome, which can hamper your immune system functioning and lead to leaky gut.

But a superior quality probiotic formula like Super Shield can help bring that back into balance for you.

Super Shield’s unique full-spectrum blend of 13 probiotic strains can help repopulate your intestinal tract with the healthy-promoting friendly microbes your body so desperately needs.

5- You may have a genetic issue

If you’ve been prone to fishy-smelling body odor, there is a chance you may have a rare genetic condition called trimethylaminuria (also known as fish odor syndrome).

With trimethylaminuria, your body can't break down the compound trimethylamine, which is produced from digestion of foods like eggs, legumes, and fish. Instead, your body sheds the trimethylamine through your urine, breath and sweat, producing an odor that smells fishy or like sulfur.

Although there is no cure for trimethylaminuria, many people have seen improvement by avoiding the offending foods.  Your doctor can help guide you on this.

6- You have a bad diet and poor digestion

Your body is meant to be nourished by real foods-- vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy and healthy fats like real butter, coconut oil and olive oil.  Your body’s enzymes break down each kind of food, it assimilates the nutrients, and any excess unusable residue is eliminated as your BMs.

But when you instead exist mainly on highly processed, refined and fast foods that contain chemicals, preservatives and artificial ingredients, your body is not only not nourished like it needs to be, but it also must detox the chemicals out of you.

This creates wastes that your body (especially your liver, kidneys and skin—your main organs of detox) has to get rid of…and that can create PUNGENT body odor.

Plus poor digestion is another culprit that can make you smell like you're "smuggling onions."

When your digestion can't be accomplished like it should be, that can also lead to acid waste accumulation and have you smelling like Pepe Le Pew. 

But my Great Taste No Pain health system can help turn that around for you—FAST!

Great Taste No Pain shows you how to pair foods together in your meals that are much easier for your body to break down.  When you make your system’s job easier, your digestion can be carried out like it’s supposed to be, you become more “regular,” you have less gas, bloating and heartburn…

And you smell better too!

Plus Great Taste No Pain gives you a collection of mouth-watering, scrumptious recipes that will make you fall in love with real, wholesome foods, and lose your taste for the processed junk.

Listen to what your sweat may be saying about you—you’ll end up healthier and feeling better as a result!

To your health,
