Hormones are important to our health. They can
be metaphorically described as the maestros of
the symphony of nutrients, neurotransmitters,
and vitamins. Often, patients will be placed on
hormones by a cookbook formula from a conventional
physician and the drug company, or the pharmacist
who sells the preparation. The effects of the
hormones upon the rest of the body must be appreciated,
other wise the person is only to become dependent
on another simple fix to a complex problem.
Often people who take vitamins see no effect of
the vitamins because it is the interactions of
the hormones which have not been evaluated. Because
we are so different, only an integrative approach
will be able to fine tune our instruments, particularly
as we go through the periods of puberty, post-partum,
perimenopausal, and menopausal.
In addition, thyroid hormones will be an area
which has to be constantly evaluated and small
nutritional changes can affect our fatigue, sleeplessness,
and weight gain.
The adrenal glands which sit on top our kidneys
help with stress. Often there are underlying subtle
problems which need to be addressed to help us
function. Often women who are depressed are sent
to other physicians, their diagnosis quickly assumed
and are partially helped by antidepressants. Frequently
hormone therapies must be addressed.
Men’s Health
If you are a female, and are suffering, because
your mate has been too intuitive, in figuring
out that his recent change in outlook, attitude
and mood, could be his diet, hormones, or environmental
pollutants. This could be manifested as Aging
appearance, abdominal obesity, Palpitations, muscle
pains and loss of strength, endurance, indecisiveness,
and depression
