Hello everyone!
We are together again. I know It’s been a while, but I came up with excellent topics and I’ll try to share amazing details with you. Some of my patients are aware of which beautiful things I have been involving with, recently. Our bond with the topic is originated from long time ago, honestly. But I couldn’t get time to spend on that matter while attending conferences, being speaker at congresses lately. Most of times were about cooperation from whole over the world to develop new projects for my patients. Our flash topic has more than one title. It is related to longevity, better life, quality life, expand your life span. As you can understand that the topic has not only one chapter, yet It is a philosophy.
There are tons of ways to take consider that matter, also lots of cultures had have been involved with that beautiful questions with their own way to elaborate the issue. But the science is solid, in terms of different aspects there have been many inventions related to comprehensive diagnose methods, new treatment methods, using different elements - but not drugs, some new discoveries on digestive system. From that window, everything seems good. We do have everything’s the best and yeah we can use them. Let’s do that! Maybe you think like that too. But How? When? Which portion and type, also can all of us get a good benefit from that development? Or would it be harmful? Yeah, we are sceptic to take an action before each question is answered properly, and without a tiny gap.
Ok, let’s jump in our hormones. Our weapons, our body’s intelligent tiny parts that gives us super powers, although we do not have any skills to understand this phase precisely, yes they are miracles.
Estrogen, and progesterone are blocked by rising cortisol levels during the fight or flight stage of the stress response.
The adrenal glands above the kidneys release cortisol and DHEA. Adrenals are small but powerful. Ok, these are easy to digest until now. What about chronic stress and its effects?
The Effects of Long-Term Stress
There is a possibility that stress helped humans adapt many hundreds of years ago. Long-term stress can have an adverse effect on our physical health. It has the potential to upset the delicate balance of our homeostasis. Stress has a negative impact on a person's heart and cardiovascular system, digestion, energy levels, the management of blood sugar, hormonal balance, sleep, and mental health. We need to learn how to manage our response to stress in order to create a state of equilibrium and well-being. But how does it have an effect? Let's go through each one in turn.
What kind of impact does stress have on hormones?
Estrogen
The major function of estrogens in the body is to play a part in the development of secondary sexual traits that are typically associated with females. These include, but are not limited to, the breasts, the endometrium, and the management of the menstrual cycle. Estrogen is necessary for the maturation of sperm as well as the maintenance of a healthy libido in men. Estrogen deficiency might result in immature sperm. In addition to this, it helps keep cholesterol under control, maintains the bone health of both women and men, and has an effect on your brain (including your mood), bones, heart, skin, and other tissues throughout your body. These are but a few of the many functions that it possesses.
In women, a hormone imbalance can be the root cause of a wide variety of distressing symptoms, such as night sweats, hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, unstable moods, and many others. This takes place when estrogen levels drop as a result of extended stress and increased production of the stress hormone cortisol. In addition to this, it lowers levels of serotonin, which has been found to have an effect on mood. As a result, women report feeling more unhappy and are unable to sleep when they have this condition.
Progesterone
This hormone has an influence on a wide variety of organs, including the breasts, ovaries, vagina, and uterus; the brain; the bones; the cardiovascular and immunological systems; the kidneys; and the liver. It also has an effect on the kidneys and the liver. It serves a significant role in the body as a result of its participation in a wide range of diverse functions throughout the body. For instance, it assists in the maintenance of bone density, promotes cardiovascular health, aids in the function of the liver and kidneys, and enhances the activity of the immune system. In addition to this, it has a relaxing impact on the central nervous system and enhances overall health in the reproductive system.
In addition, progesterone is a precursor to the hormone cortisol, which is produced in response to stress. In situations where there is a risk to one's life, the body will prioritize the synthesis of the stress hormone cortisol.
Even if we have ovulated, this can be the reason why we aren't creating enough progesterone to maintain a healthy pregnancy. In addition, it's possible that this is the reason why some women don't get periods at all, while others have periods that don't result in ovulation at all.
Testosterone
Testosterone is the primary sex hormone in males and plays a number of important roles, including the development of the penis and testes, the deepening of the voice during puberty, the appearance of facial and pubic hair beginning at puberty, the growth of muscle size and strength, the growth and strength of bones, libido, and the production of sperm. Testosterone also plays a role in the development of a number of other important aspects of male sexual During puberty, testosterone plays a part not only in the growth of the body but also in the development of the voice.
It is possible to find testosterone in female bodies as well as in male bodies. Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone. It is produced by the ovaries and the adrenal glands, which are both located in the abdomen. Androgens are a type of hormone that is produced in women who have a male sexual characteristics by those women with a male sexual features. It is considered that these hormones have a considerable effect on the function of the ovary, in addition to the strength of the bones, and libido.
According to the findings of a number of research, having cortisol levels that are persistently elevated can contribute to a loss of libido as well as impotence. Cortisol levels that are chronically elevated have been shown to be associated with production of testosterone in males is inhibited as a result, which leads to the desired outcome. Chronically high levels of cortisol can have a variety of adverse effects on a woman's reproductive system, including causing the menstrual cycle to become abnormal and possibly leading to severe fertility issues. These effects can be caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to chronically high levels of cortisol.
Thyroid Hormones
The thyroid gland is just one of the numerous glands that make up the endocrine system. Other glands include the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland. The hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine are created as a result of the thyroid gland's activity (T4). These are two hormones that play a significant role in the regulation of a wide variety of bodily functions, such as, but not limited to, body weight, energy levels, internal temperature, and the growth of skin, hair, and nails. They also play a role in the regulation of many other aspects of the body.
At this point in time, the idea that stress can also have an effect on thyroid hormones is probably not something that comes as much of a surprise to you. Although stress cannot directly cause a problem with the thyroid, it can exacerbate the symptoms of an existing thyroid disorder if it is present. The slowing of the body's metabolic rate as a direct result of stress is one of the ways in which stress can have an effect on the thyroid. It's probable that this is one of the mechanisms by which stress and weight growth are tied to one another. When there is a decrease in the function of the thyroid due to stress, there is also a decrease in the levels of the hormones T3 and T4.
We discovered that stress has numerous different effects on our principal hormones. The effects of this can be rather severe. Because of this, we require balance, and we must strive to maintain this equilibrium on a daily basis. Because of this, if we want to have a greater balance and sense of well-being, we need to learn how to manage stress and our response to stressful events. This will allow us to reach our goals of having a better sense of balance and well-being.
Now that we understand how stress can alter our hormones, let's put our knowledge to use and take some action. I am aware of how difficult it may be to detach oneself from the stress merry-go-round, particularly if one has been caught on the merry-go-round for an extended period of time. I am here to assist you in moving in the proper path, so let's get started. First things first: let's determine what exactly constitutes wrongdoing. I do run a variety of tests to get that result, and then I compare the results of those tests to further refine them. After that point, the system will be written specifically for your needs. This individualized course of treatment can include one or two treatments, or it might encompass more than fifty different aspects. It depends on the things you already have and the things you require. Although it won't be simple, I believe we'll be able to figure it out together.
Do not Forget! You are not alone, I am here to support you.
Do you have chronic stress?
