2.  Are your hormones out of balance?  Does your life feel like a song played badly out of tune?  If so, the problem may have to do with imbalances in your hormones, which are wreaking havoc on your body and mind.

3. Hormone Imbalance Insulin Resistance Increased Cortisol Low Thyroid Obesity

4.  GLANDS  HORMONES  NEUROTRANSMITTERS

5.  Messenger molecules of our endocrine system  Pineal  Thyroid  Hypothalamus  Pituitary  Parathyroids  Thymus  Adrenals  Pancreas  Ovaries  Testes

6.  Neurotransmitters  Messenger molecules of our brain and nervous system.

7.  Imbalances of Sex Hormones  Too Much Insulin  Too Much Cortisol and Adrenaline ◦ Cortistop ◦ Balsam Fir, RutaVala, Vitamin C  Not Enough Thyroid Hormones ◦ Endogize ◦ Thyromin

8.  Does your mood and energy swing up and down, making your life crazy?  Do you crave sugar or salt?  Are you overweight and putting on more and more belly fat?  If you are a woman, do you have premenstrual syndrome, painful or heavy periods, or a low sex drive?  Are you depressed? Do you sleep poorly?  Do you feel tired but wired?  Do you need coffee to wake up in the morning and a few glasses of wine to calm down at night?

9.  Fatigue  Brain fogginess and inability to focus  High blood sugar  Intestinal bloating  Sleepiness, especially after meals  Weight gain, difficulty losing  It is currently suspected that hormones produced in the abdominal fat are a precipitating cause of insulin resistance

10.  Increased blood triglyceride levels  Increased blood pressure. Many people with hypertension are either diabetic or pre- diabetic and have elevated insulin levels due to insulin resistance. One of insulin's effects is to control arterial wall tension throughout the body  Increased pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with cardiovascular disease  Depression  Increased hunger

11.  80 – 100 Million Americans!!  Too Much Sugar, White Flour & Rice!!!

12.  When you eat too much sugar, flour, and white rice, your insulin levels spike.  When this happens, your cells become resistant to its effects  So you pump out more and more insulin, become even MORE resistant to its effects, and end up in the vicious cycle of insulin resistance.

13.  Not a genetic defect  As hunters/gatherers, we ate the equivalent of only 20 teaspoons of sugar a year  200 years ago, Consuming about 10 pounds of sugar per person per ◦ 5,000% increase over our evolutionary ancestors!  Now we eat 150 pounds per person per year ◦ 1/2 pound each day -- that’s the equivalent of drinking 6 cans of Coke or eating 8 Snickers bars per day.  What’s worst, the average child consumes 34 teaspoons of sugar a day!  That means that we are now eating 75,000% more sugar today than our ancestors did.

14.  Insulin stimulates the growth of cancer cells  Insulin leads to mood and behavior disturbances such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and ADHD  Insulin makes your blood sticky and more likely to clot, leading to heart attacks and strokes  Insulin causes sex-hormone problems and can lead to infertility, facial hair growth, acne and scalp hair loss in women; in men, it can cause low testosterone, breast growth and more

15.  Increases LDL (“bad”) cholesterol  Lowers HDL (“good”) cholesterol  Raises triglycerides  Increases blood pressure  Causes 50 percent of all HTN

17.  Eating flour and sugar products  Eating high-fructose corn syrup  Drinking liquid calories in juice and soda  Consuming all processed, junk, or packaged foods  Eating trans or hydrogenated fats

18.  Slow sugar uptake in gut:  Healthy protein ◦ Nuts, seeds, beans Small wild fish Organic chicken  Healthy carbs (vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains)  Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts and seeds, avocadoes, fish oil)  Eat plenty of soluble fiber (30 to 50 grams a day)  Eat smaller, more frequent meals

19.  Move your body ◦ Exercise improves cells’ ability  Work better  Respond to insulin better  Burn sugar faster  Make your cells smarter ◦ Give them oil change with omega-3’s ◦ Fix cell membranes ◦ Can readily receive the messages from insulin  Relax! ◦ Stress reduction also helps improve blood sugar control

20.  Make your cells more efficient: ◦ chromium ◦ Vanadium ◦ Magnesium ◦ Vitamin E ◦ Biotin ◦ B vitamins ◦ Zinc ◦ Bioflavonoids ◦ Alpha lipoic acid ◦ Arginine ◦ Carnitine
