Hormonal Imbalance<\/p>\n
Our health is determined by the flexibility of our metabolism. As humans, we have survived having to face periods of severe environmental changes, from famine, infection and war to periods of excess.<\/p>\n
Our metabolism is controlled by the release of various hormones (chemical messengers) from our endocrine and nervous systems.\u00a0 In understanding the \u201cdance\u201d that all these hormones have in our bodies enables us to balance our metabolism and respond to our ever-changing environments so that we can restore health or continue to remain in good health and continue in longevity and wellness.<\/p>\n
We have about 50 hormones that we secrete and circulate throughout our bodies.\u00a0 Many of these hormones are produced by endocrine cells, most occurring in endocrine glands.\u00a0 Once secreted the hormones enter into the bloodstream and make their way to their target cells. The endocrine system, intimately linked with the nervous system assists in controlling many of the body\u2019s function such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, contraction of smooth and cardiac muscles.\u00a0 Hormones play an important function in assisting the body to maintain homoeostasis.<\/p>\n
Biologically we respond to our environment is one of two ways:<\/p>\n
Possible imbalances that need addressing<\/strong><\/p>\n To restore balance there are three organ and glands that need assessment and balancing to restore health:<\/p>\n Nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals that need consideration<\/strong><\/p>\n Our goal is to get our hormones to \u201cdance\u201d together synergistically creating homoeostasis in our bodies.<\/p>\n Nutrition and lifestyle changes have made significant changes to the lives of many patients that we have seen over the years, yet there is a caution here, some patients let their health deteriorate to a point that they will need medical intervention as nutrition and lifestyle will not be able to assist them. Other patients arrive at our offices already on medication with poor quality of life and here again, we have successfully improved their quality of life with the correct nutrients and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n Below are some recommendations that need exploration in dealing with hormonal imbalances, these lists are by no means complete and it is always advised that you seek correct advice from a professional before attempting to self medicate.<\/p>\n Supplements and nutrients needing consideration to balance the adrenal glands:<\/p>\n Supplements and nutrients needing consideration to balance blood sugar and insulin levels:<\/p>\n Supplements and nutrients needing consideration to balance thyroid levels:<\/p>\n Supplements and nutrients needing consideration to balance female hormones:<\/p>\n Hormonal Imbalance Our health is determined by the flexibility of our metabolism.
