If someone has truly no understanding of what is good, then how can they know what is evil? The definitions of these words, as concepts, rely on one another to be properly understood. • Inside your body, your protective hormones and your stress hormones exist to balance each other out, to run a system of checks-and-balances in order to maintain homeostasis. • This is why measuring isolated hormone levels in blood tests don’t give us much in the way of useful data, until we compare hormone levels against one another. For example, the T:C ratio (testosterone to cortisol ratio) is one reliable indicator of protective:stress hormone balance that is widely used in research studies, especially with respect to athletic performance, strength, power, endurance, and male reproductive health. • All hormones are needed for your body to be healthy, however, you start to experience serious health issues when the balance is skewed heavily in favor of stress hormones, which happens to be the case for most people in our modern environment. • Physical and psychological stress, alongside unprecedented exposure to environmental estrogenic chemicals, is at an all-time high right now, when compared to any other time in human history. And epidemic level hormonal health issues have been rising rapidly for many decades now, including thyroid dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, hypertension, gut diseases, and many more. • The average person is sadly unaware of the role their hormones are playing in all of their health problems, not to mention they have no way of knowing how to increase their protective hormone production back to a healthy balance in order to keep the rampant over-production of stress hormones in check. • Protective hormones are in low supply, but I’m going to show you how to increase yours naturally. • There are many different hormones constantly working inside your body. They are made in different ways, structurally. Some of them are produced from amino acids, known as amino acid derived hormones, such as dopamine, epinephrine, melatonin, norepinephrine, T3, and T4. • Others are referred to as eicosanoid hormones, a class of paracrine hormones that signal locally to neighboring cells, and synthesized as a result of PUFA oxidation. Examples are prostaglandins, leukotrienes, prostacyclin, and thromboxane. • Another class, containing a large variety of hormones, is the peptide hormones, like LH, FSH, TSH, adiponectin, hCG, GnRH, hGH, leptin, IGF, and many more, which are structurally composed of peptides or proteins molecules. • And finally, we have the steroid hormones, many of which you may be familiar with, such as testosterone DHT, estradiol, cortisol, DHEA, progesterone, and aldosterone. • Protective hormones are defined as those that, at naturally high levels, preserve the healthy functioning of vital biological systems needed to thrive, such as sexual reproduction, energy metabolism, regenerative sleep, executive cognitive functioning. • At healthy production levels, your protective hormones are able to moderate your stress hormones effectively. You feel energetic, relaxed, creative, and sexually charged. You sleep well at night and can maintain a lean physique quite easily. • While there are many protective hormones, the ones we’re going to focus on optimizing are: • Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 • Dopamine • Testosterone • DHT • Progesterone • LH, FSH, and GnRH
