The Seven Pillars of Health
1. Endocrine/Hormonal: Disruption and Depression
- The hormones are the most powerful control system of the body and must be balanced in order to activate the body’s other powerful systems of repair and healing.
- Most people lead challenging lives complicated by hormonal disruption and glandular depression.
- Gradually we will detoxify the hormone disrupters that interfere and block normal hormone activation, while also strengthening and repairing the seven levels of glands that comprise the endocrine/hormone system
2. Glycemic Management: Insulin/Cortisol Dysregulation
- Prevent insulin/cortisol spikes
- Removal of high glycemic carbohydrates/ starch removal
- Eat balanced whole food meals 3-4 times each day
- Improve body's ability to process and utilize carbohydrates for energy
3. pH Bioterrain: Net Acid Excess
- Acidosis increases intensity, inflammation and anxiety
- When constantly overwhelmed with metabolic and environmental acidosis it becomes expensive to the body resulting in tissue mineral deficiencies
- Tissue mineral deficiencies lead to degeneration seen as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, muscle dysfunction (cramping), decline of immune function to name a few.
4. Immune/Inflammatory Status: Cumulative Repair Deficit and Toxicity, Infection and Infestation
- The inflammatory response is the beginning of the immune response
- Cytokine driven inflammatory levels drive the adrenals
- Cortisol increases, adrenals fatigue
- Hidden cavitated infection/infestation constantly up-regulates the immune system fatiguing bone marrow, congesting lymphatics and fatiguing adrenals
- Heavy metal detoxification
5. Circulatory Status: Arterial, Venous and Lymphatic Competence
- Circulatory status determines tissue nutrition and detoxification
- Circulatory health includes blood quality and vasular integrity
- Loss of circulation (stagnation) induces hypoxia, toxicity, necrosis, adaptive functions
- One of the primary etiology for all degenerative disease
6. Digestive Potency: Fuel Absorption, Waste Removal, Immune Modulation
- Digestion brings in substances that provide energy, sustenance and removes waste
- Loss of ecology (proper ph/ balanced microbiome) creates cascades of cytokines, immune modulation, inflammation, tissue degradation, leaky gut (gut hyperpermeability), resportion of toxins, nutritional deficiencies
- Gut lining equals armor for the world
- 80% of immune system resides in the GI mucosal barrier - GALT
7. Cellular Vitality: Upregulating Cellular Actions
- Protection of the cell
- Supporting membrane potential and activity
- Mitochondrial support and protection
- Promoting hydration
- Promote heat shock resiliency - heat shock proteins
- Extend telomere length
