Foundations and Endocrine System - Correct Answer ✅Digestion.
1. All hormones are made of and run on nutrients. Compromised digestion
leads to poor absorption and creates deficiencies of the required nutrients.
Digestion of fats is especially important because fatty acids are required for
healthy hormone production.
2. Elimination. The steroid hormones have to be removed out of the system
after they have done their job. Compromised elimination pathways will result
in the steroid hormones to recirculate in the body.
3. Leaky gut - triggers immune defense responses by leaking undigested
food pieces into the blood. This creates a stress response in the body which
will elevate cortisol production. Chronically elevated cortisol contributes to
pregnenolone steel and further hormonal disbalances in the body. It also
suppresses immunity
4. GI system also helps with conversion thyroid hormones t4->t3
BS regulation:
Chronically elevated BS levels will eventually cause pancreatic endocrine
function malfunction.
Hight cortisol levels could lead to pregnenolone steal and contribute to
hormonal disbalance of other endocrine glands
