Hormones are Mainly Symptoms
Hormones are a major obsession of natural health; adrenal, thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, and more.
But hormonal levels are mostly just symptoms of bigger problems.
Hormones are messengers and regulators but do not do the major work. Most hormones are secreted by small glands like the adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, and hypotalamus, to increase energy, responses to stress, growth, sleep, etc.
The brain and it's perception of stress actually drive much hormone activity, communicated from the hypothalamus and amygdala to the pituitary and adrenals, for example.
Larger organs like the liver and gut actually digest food to produce energy. These organs fill the gas tank whereas hormones of adrenals and thyroid are like the gas pedal.
Low hormone levels are not necessarily a sign of weak glands but are often only matching a weak system due to nutritional deficiencies, toxin load, or infection.
Normal hormone levels may be present with symptoms of low levels when cell receptor sites and cell membranes are damaged due to missing nutrients being replaced with toxic molecules, for example. It's a system wide problem. This is called a state of resistance in the case of leptin resistance. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that signals the brain to stop storing fat but cannot communicate through a damaged blood brain barrier, or with a damaged hypothalamus gland in the brain.
The 5 root causes of health and disease determine hormone levels; nutrition, toxicity, infection, emotions and misalignment from teeth to toes.
it is important to know when supporting hormonal levels directly is productive, that is, when hormones are truly a weak link.
In very exhausted states cortisol supplementation, for example, can give a small boost. Progesterone or pregnenolone can help boost energy in both women and men as part of larger program, including the best foods to get cholesterol to make sex and adrenal hormones. Cholesterol and the fats in which it is found help to repair the brain and cell membranes that are crucial to the whole hormonal system.
Stop the thyroid madness.
Stop the adrenal madness
Get to know the hormone leptin that some say is the master hormone.
Get to know how the body's systems work and role of hormones with it.
Focus on the 5 root causes that provide leverage over all the symptoms.
Read about specific hormones here at the Primal Rejuvenation website from a systems perspective outside the medical model and fragmented science without an integrating framework.
