The Missing Link

10/22/2013

Have you been treating your thyroid and still feel exhausted? Is it hard for you to get out of bed in the morning? Are you still experiencing irregular periods and weight gain after treating your thyroid? If you answered, “yes” to these questions, you may still have an untreated endocrine imbalance.

The endocrine system is the system of glands, each of which secretes different types of hormones directly into the bloodstream to maintain health. Hormones regulate various human functions including metabolism, reproduction, sleep, stress and mood. The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology. The endocrine glands are interconnected and work in harmony to keep the body in equilibrium. However, when there is an imbalance in one gland it can lead to the dysfunction of another. If not properly diagnosed and treated your health may continue to weaken.

Vitamins and minerals, also known as micronutrients, are a critical component for good health. Knowing your status of possible deficiencies is very important to help prevent disease. Standard test do not measure your nutrient levels. You may be deficient in essential micronutrients and not even know it.

Many people work at improving their health, yet some individuals still have deficiencies. Why?  

Biochemical Individuality  We are all metabolically and biochemically unique. The micronutrient requirements for one person may be quite different than the requirements for another. Your treatment plan created by me will be specific for your biochemical needs.

Absorption  Although you may eat a balanced diet, if you do not absorb vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients properly, you will have deficiencies. The most common cause of decrease absorption of nutrients is untreated gastrointestinal disorders. Accurately diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions is critical for proper treatment and healing.

Chronic Illness  Health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, fatigue, autoimmune disease, allergies, to name a few, can be affected, directly or indirectly, by micronutrient deficiencies.   

Aging  Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50 and beyond. Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12, quite commonly occur as we age.   

Lifestyle  Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol and sedentary habits all impact micronutrient demands.
