Pregnenolone Steal

Pregnenolone is a precursor to a myriad of hormones - cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, and testosterone. The body, when under massive amounts of stress, will manufacture more cortisol and will essentially "steal" the pregnenolone from becoming a precursor for the other valuable hormones.



The result? Symptoms of adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or higher blood cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a precursor to pregnenolone; if the output of the various other hormones is reduced, the body will produce more raw materials (cholesterol) in hopes that with more pregnenolone, less will be stolen and the other hormones can be manufactured.



These conditions can effectively be treated via nutrition and homeopathy. If desired, schedule a complimentary consultation.

Think the Thyroid

The thyroid is an important gland that secretes hormones for cellular metabolism and calcium metabolism. Many individuals in our society struggle with thyroid related problems - especially women. The major cause for these thyroid related issues is adrenal fatigue since the adrenals first target the thyroid when they encounter distress and demand additional raw materials from other body resources.

What are some cardinal signs of thyroid distress?

1. Hair is thin and delicate.
   
2. Hair falls out easily.
   
3. "Silver Dollar" sized pain between the shoulder blades.
   
4. Brittle nails.
   
5. Cold hands and feet.
   
6. Weight gain.
   
7. Decrease cognitive abilities.
   
8. Signs of osteoporosis or osteopenia.
   
9. Depression.
   

If a few of these fit you, chances are your thyroid could use a boost. The best solution is to allow your body to get back to optimal function. We would be happy to help you, a family member, or a friend - we offer a complimentary consultation.
