- Nutrition
Dr Izabella Wentz is a thyroid expert who has helped tens of thousands of women turn their life around. She joins Donna in this episode to talk about her new book Adrenal Transformation Protocol and to talk all about adrenals and their impact on our bodies including chronic illness and what we can do to combat these issues.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The adrenal glands are two glands responsible for a lot of hormones including the stress hormone cortisol.
Cortisol is needed for the body to function correctly, having too much is often talked about but not having the right amount at the right times of day can also cause problems.
Those who have adrenal dysfunction also often have mitochondrial dysfunction. Combining mitochondrial support alongside adrenal strategies can work very effectively.
Most of Western culture doesn’t allow the mother to be taken care of when she has a baby, this can have a huge impact on not just her mental wellbeing but her physical health too especially if she is suffering from sleep deprivation.
Any form of excessive stress can cause issues for the adrenal system, including having illnesses such as covid or even living through something like the pandemic.
Many people don’t change their diet or lifestyle until they are already having issues and problems, this is a missed opportunity.
If someone is suffering from acute stress their body and hormones can not keep up, they can’t remain on high alert indefinitely, this is when the body starts making adaptations to how it would usually function and this is when symptoms such as fatigue start to occur.
You have to take a step-by-step approach to heal your body. The body ecology principle is to create energy, conquer the inflammation, cleanse out toxins and correct your digestion.
If people can learn to understand their bodies and what they are trying to communicate to them via symptoms, they can then learn how to help themselves.
If someone is in adrenal dysfunction, upping protein can help give the body the energy to help heal itself.
BEST MOMENTS
“You have to really work together with the thyroid and the adrenals”
“Sleep deprivation is one of the fastest ways to get into adrenal dysfunction”
“There are people with adrenal dysfunction whose thyroids are healthy”
“Hormone receptors can become saturated, and they become desensitized”
“We live in a world where stress is so pervasive that we don’t even know”
“When I talk to people about their health the first thing I’m looking at is if they’re sleeping”
Body ecology is not a diet – it’s a way of life—based on 7 universal laws that always guide us toward the truth. If you want to know more about us, these 7 universal laws and our amazing effective products go to our website www.bodyecology.com. You can also get a transcript of this show there.
