Okay, so today we're going to talk about hormone imbalance, okay?

Now, just to make this very complex subject very simple,

the endocrine system as a whole is basically the superior communication system.

It has various glands that make and send hormones through the blood

and hormones are communications. So they're sent, received,

and they transmit back in kind of a circuit.

It's called feedback loops. So when the information gets back,

then the gland can stop sending that message. If there's any type of

problem along this pathway, hormones can actually go up or go down.

So we call that hyper or hypode. So if it's too much in the thyroid,

it would be a condition called hyperthyroidism. If it's too low, it'll be

hypothyroid. And it happens with pretty much all the different

hormones, okay? They're very sensitive to the environment,

especially chemicals, chemicals in our food, medications, pesticides,

insecticides, toxins. Because a lot of those chemicals in the

environment are called endocrine disruptors. And that's because the glands

and hormones, a lot of them are made from fat. And so a lot of chemicals are

fat-civil. So they kind of get stuck in there. The receptors may block it,

and they disrupt the normal flow of communication in the body.

Also, there are other things, especially like with the adrenal hormones,

that are very sensitive to stresses, emotional stresses,

losses, physical stresses, trauma, surgery. That can alter the adrenal
