The Anti-Stress Hormone<\/strong><\/p>\n Hormones protect us. They protect us from getting really sick and dying. Here are some of the roles that hormones play:<\/p>\n Hormones help the body adapt to its environment. If you are pregnant, nursing, ill, mal-nourished, over exercising or highly stressed your hormones have to work even harder to keep the body in balance.<\/p>\n The hormones that are secreted and protect you from serious failures in the body like low blood sugar are called anti-stress hormones.<\/p>\n The anti-stress hormones come in two types:<\/p>\n -Hormones with long term side effects<\/p>\n -Hormones that are highly protective and have no side effects<\/p>\n Adrenalin and cortisol are two hormones that are secreted from the adrenal glands and they raise blood sugar by utilizing the body\u2019s own tissues. But if adrenalin and cortisol remain chronically high they have side effects like:<\/p>\n Parathyroid hormone, which is secreted from the parathyroid gland (behind the thyroid gland in the neck), can normalize blood levels of calcium by taking it from bone, but it also can:<\/p>\n * The parathyroid hormone levels normalize when there is enough calcium in the diet and there are high levels of vitamin D and progesterone.<\/p>\n Aldosterone secreted from the adrenal glands when sodium levels drop in the blood can:<\/p>\n * The aldosterone levels normalize when there is enough salt in the diet, as well as protein and pregnenolone and progesterone.<\/p>\n Protective hormones that do not<\/em> have side effects at normal levels:<\/p>\n Steroid hormones are those hormones that use cholesterol as their base therefore they are fat soluble. Steroid hormones are called adaptive hormones because they help the body adapt to stress. Adrenalin and parathyroid hormones are also adaptive hormones but they are not made from cholesterol. Adrenalin is made in the adrenals and parathyroid hormone is made in the parathyroid gland. They are both made from protein.<\/p>\n Pregnenolone and progesterone stimulate their own production, so the more that your body makes or the more you take the more you will have. Both of these hormones lower cortisol and other anti stress hormones that have side effects.<\/p>\n You can add pregnenolone and progesterone to your dietary supplements. DHEA can be taken at very low doses for short periods of time as it can convert to estrogen, which can be highly pro inflammatory.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both men and women can take pregnenolone. There are no known side effects for pregnenolone. Many people feel a mental lift and positive feelings as well as an increase in libido. It is best to purchase the pure pregnenolone powder . Consult a professional for how to use.<\/p>\n Progesterone is fat soluble, and Ray Peat, PhD has found that it fully dissolves in vitamin E without the side effects from using vegetable oils. Progesterone is commonly used by women (men can use small amounts on their skin), but there be side effects in high amounts. Please do not take any hormones unless you have been tested and please work with a professional for best possible results<\/p>\n References (www.raypeat.com<\/a>):<\/p>\n Contact Linda<\/a><\/p>\n Call: 847-722-4376 for your free consultation<\/p>\n
