Leaky Gut Syndrome Affects Hormone Balance

01.12 Leslie

I found a very interesting article and explanation on Leaky Gut Syndrome written by Dr. Jeremy E. Kaslow. According to Dr. Kaslow “Leaky Gut Syndrome is a very common problem of modern society in part because of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, etc. While this discussion is not going to focus on the pros and cons of antibiotics or NSAIDs, both damage the natural balance the bowel requires to operate optimally.”

Natural Progesterone Cream Inhibits Effects Of Too Much Estrogen

WorkonInternet.com

Progesterone cream is beneficial for both men and women. Progesterone is a hormone that is made naturally by the human body. It effects every tissue in the body including the uterus, cervix, vagina, the endocrine system, brain cells, fat metabolism, thyroid hormone function, water balance, periphral nerve myelin sheath synthesis, bone cells, energy production, the immune system, and more. It is not strictly a female hormone. For men progesterone is produced in the adrenal glands in the testes. For women progesterone is made by the corpus luteum of the ovary. The use of natural progesterone cream inhibits the harmful effects of too much estrogen and reverses the effects of “Estrogen Dominance.”

Endocrine disorders can result from dysfunction originating in the peripheral endocrine gland itself (primary disorders) or from understimulation or overstimulation by the pituitary (secondary disorders). The disorders can result in hormone overproduction (hyperfunction) or underproduction (hypofunction). Rarely, endocrine disorders (usually hypofunction) occur because of abnormal tissue responses to hormones. Clinical presentation of hypofunction disorders is often insidious and nonspecific.

Addiction is a demon that plagues many of your patients, friends and even colleagues on one level or another. The etiology of addiction is complex; as there is at least a genetic component, a behavioral factor, a social aspect and of course a biochemical piece. When treating addiction it is important to address as many of these as possible. Reproductive hormones are very closely tied to neurochemistry including modulating serotonin, dopamine, histamine and other neurotransmitters. A hormonal shift may create and can certainly exacerbate any neurotransmitter imbalance.

Hormones in Concert

By Christian Weyer

…I was drawn to endocrinology because I was intrigued by the complexity and elegance with which hormonal signaling systems govern whole-body metabolism and many other vital functions. Most hormones have multiple actions that are well coordinated, and naturally integrated with other hormonal systems. It is, in many respects, the equivalent of individual musicians playing together in a philharmonic orchestra producing the most melodic, beautiful symphonies.

To most of us, talking about hormones means estrogen, progesterone andtestosterone. True enough, they’re hormones, and we all have all of them. Men, women and children have them, in different proportions of course, but none of us can make it without all three working together.

But these three aren’t even half the hormone story, just a small part of the endocrine system–the system that keeps life’s wheels turning. And every part of it creates hormones.

Greetings, We are going to give you some insight into Hormones and how they affect everything we do.

You probably wouldn’t have guessed it but the hormonal control center is in the BRAIN. You also could have thought that the size of your organs determine your femininity or masculinity. Wrong again!!!

The Conductor that orchestrates your hormonal balance is nothing bigger than a pea and situated in the brain.

The pituitary gland and in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland it controls vital body functions by excreting the following hormones:

Is ‘light’ killing you?

Melatonin is the sleep inducing hormone, but it does so much more. The whole day and night rhythm has it’s importance for the proper functioning and recovering of our body systems, and a regular sleep and wake cycle is more important than we used to believe.
