 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.

Hormone Imbalance Insulin Resistance Increased Cortisol Low Thyroid Obesity

 GLANDS  HORMONES  NEUROTRANSMITTERS

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

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

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

 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?

 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

 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

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

 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.

 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.

 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

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

 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

 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

 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

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