Foundations and Endocrine System - CORRECT ANSWER-
Digestion.
1. All hormones are made of and run on nutrients.
Compromised digestion leads to poor absorption and creates
deficiencies of the required nutrients. Digestion of fats is
especially important because fatty acids are required for
healthy hormone production.
2. Elimination. The steroid hormones have to be removed out of
the system after they have done their job. Compromised
elimination pathways will result in the steroid hormones to
recirculate in the body.
3. Leaky gut - triggers immune defense responses by leaking
undigested food pieces into the blood. This creates a stress
response in the body which will elevate cortisol production.
Chronically elevated cortisol contributes to pregnenolone steel
and further hormonal disbalances in the body. It also
suppresses immunity
4. GI system also helps with conversion thyroid hormones t4-
>t3
BS regulation:
Chronically elevated BS levels will eventually cause pancreatic
endocrine function malfunction.
Hight cortisol levels could lead to pregnenolone steal and
contribute to hormonal disbalance of other endocrine glands
Fatty acids:
