TUNE-UP TRICKS FOR CLEAN CORTISOL RECEPTORS
- Consume coffee with one tablespoon of coconut oil and vanilla whey protein. Black coffee on an empty stomach increases blood sugar levels, which also increases cortisol levels. Adding a little healthy fat and protein can prevent the cortisol level from rising.
- Practice yoga and meditation. These stress-relieving activities are known to lower cortisol levels.
- Don’t use electronic devices one hour before bed. EMFs affect the body on a biological level, increasing cortisol levels as well. Try reading a book instead of watching TV.
HORMONES IN THE THYROID GLAND
The thyroid gland is very important. Inactive or underactive thyroid glands can cause problems with depression, joint pain, constipation, fatigue, impaired memory, dry skin, cold hands and feet, weak fingernails, and hair loss.
TUNE-UP TRICKS FOR CLEAN THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS
The thyroid gland is an important organ responsible for the production of numerous hormones. An inactive or underactive thyroid may cause problems such as depression, joint pain, loss of memory, constipation, fatigue, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair loss.
- Avoid consuming grains that contain gluten which can harm your hormone production. Wheat, spelt, rye, kamut, oats, couscous, barley and tritcale should be avoided. Consume gluten-free grains such as millet, teff, buckwheat, brown and wild rice, quinoa and amaranth;
- Use coconut oil for cooking and baking, as it contains medium-chain fatty acids which can boost your thyroid function;
- Run T3, T4, reverse T3 and TSH tests to evaluate the levels of your thyroid hormones.
HUMAN GROWN HORMONE
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is not only responsible for growing- it plays a major role in bone strengthening and protects the heart as we grow older. The bad news is that once you turn 40, HGH production reduces by 14% every 10 years! The problem becomes even worse by excess amount of HGH in meat, dairy, and eggs which are often treated with growth hormone rBST. This unnatural hormone can deceive our bodies into producing less of our own natural HGH. Symptoms of low HGH are: muscle loss depression, depression, anxiety, high body fat percentage, anxiety, low libido and high blood pressure.
TUNE-UP TRICKS FOR CLEAN HGH RECEPTORS
- Consume Montmorency tart cherries. They are rich in melatonin. Italian researchers discovered that when participants took 5 mg of melatonin at night before bed, they increased their HGH levels by up to 157%. So, drink ¼ cup of tart cherry juice diluted with 1 cup of water between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
- Do an interval training exercise program. Try combining short periods of high intensity training with longer periods of low to moderately intense training. It can increase HGH production by more than 500%!
- Ground yourself. The revolutionary Earthing “technology” naturally increases melatonin levels and at the same time it lowers cortisol level and eliminates inflammation.
- Eliminate dairy. Although most of the milk labels claim that cows were not treated with rBST, many other dairy products are not claiming the same – think butter, yogurt, sour cream, cheese, and coffee creamer. Keep the synthetic growth hormones away from your plate!
- Consume only organic meat and eggs. USDA organic standards do not allow the use of growth hormone in animals.
THE DAILY DETOX
Besides contributing to weight gain, excess fat can also contain harmful toxins. This means that by reducing weight and melting fat, it will release toxins in our blood stream. These toxins are very dangerous and must be eliminated quickly.
- Add 2 cups of baking soda and 2 cups of sea salt in a bathtub full of hot water, then soak in it until the water is cooled down. Next, get out and put a towel around you and don’t shower in the next 4 hours. The hot water will bring the toxins on your skin’s surface and during this time, a process called osmosis will clean the toxins from your body;
- Increase your fiber intake by consuming more flax and chia seeds. They contain high levels of soluble and insoluble fiber which will bind to the toxins and eliminate them;
- Drink half of your weight in water every day. We suggest drinking cran-water, a tasty drink made of cranberries and water which will hydrate your lymphatic system and remove toxins from your body;
- The Liver Lovin’ Formula contains taurine, which the liver uses to produce bile. Bile is vital for the elimination of all kinds of toxins and heavy metals from the body;
- Use activated charcoal to remove toxins from your body.
