May 16th Hormones and your heart. I have stated many times in my posts that the key to a healthy brain and body is keeping your blood sugar balanced 24/7, eating 3 meals a day that are properly balanced, which keeps your insulin hormone in balance. Excessive amounts of insulin on a daily basis is also provokes atherosclerosis. in the cardiovascular system. After years of high-carb, sugar-laden diet that calls on the pancreas repeatedly to flood the system with insulin, the bodys cells become insulin resistant. This leaves excess amounts of insulin circulating through the bloodstream, leading to high b/p, thicker blood (which can gum up the cardiovascular system) and an increase of the enzyme activity that elevates cholesterol. In men, testosterone protects the cardiovascular system, just as estrogen does for women. In cases of insulin resistance, however, we see men becoming estrogen dominant (developing breasts) and women becoming testosterone dominant (growing beards) and we know cardiovascular destruction is well under way. These are folks who fatigue after meals, whose fasting blood sugar is over 100 and who typically show high LDL and triglyceride levels. For these folks, regulating dysglycemia (abnormal blood sugar levels) it is imperative to keep your blood sugar balanced 24/7. If you are having these issues you need to attend our next seminar May 20th Tues 6:30- 8:00.
