Endocrine Enhancement

Is vital for regulating metabolism, temperature, bone turnover, skin/hair and neuromuscular function. While lab values are important, relying solely on them may overlook issues like subclinical hypothyroidism. In such cases, addressing deficiencies in nutrients like vitamin D,E, iodine, zinc, and selenium becomes crucial, as they are essential for thyroid hormone production and conversion. Many of your symptoms may be due to these deficiencies or toxins that have thyroid disrupting potential: dioxins, pesticides, mercury, perchlorate to name a few.

 Play a vital role in our response to stress, secreting catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, which help prepare the body for fight or flight situations. Additionally, they produce glucocorticoids like cortisol, which influence metabolism, behavior, heart function, and the immune system.

During times of stress, catecholamines increase heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels to mobilize resources for action. Meanwhile, glucocorticoids regulate metabolism, control inflammation, and modulate immune responses.

Deficiencies in the adrenal gland can lead to a range of symptoms, including weight loss, fatigue, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain, and salt cravings. Proper functioning of the adrenal glands is essential for maintaining overall health and responding effectively to stressors in daily life.

Diabetes and insulin resistance stem from hormonal imbalances, particularly involving insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin helps regulate glucose levels in the blood, allowing cells to utilize glucose for energy.
In diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or becomes resistant to its effects (Type 2 diabetes). Insulin resistance occurs when cells fail to respond properly to insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.
When the pancreas is exposed to wide swings of insulin and glucose due to these conditions, it can become overworked and eventually "burn out." This can result in a range of symptoms, including excessive thirst, tingling sensations in the feet and hands, frequent urination, difficulty concentrating, and susceptibility to frequent infections.
