If you have hormonal problems or suspect you have them, read this carefully!
When you learn how your body works, you heal. When you begin to understand your body's processes, you'll be better equipped to address any health issues you may be experiencing. The endocrine system is a good place to start.
Your endocrine system is a series of glands that can be thought of as the body's governing body. These endocrine glands produce hormones, steroids, and neurotransmitters that act like little emails, sending messages to your cells about what to do. Nothing happens inside your body without your glands first giving the order.
Some important endocrine glands are:
- Pineal gland
- Pituitary gland
- Thyroid gland
- Thymus gland
- Adrenal Glands
- Pancreas
1- Pineal Gland
It has been described as the “primary seat of the soul.” You’ve probably also heard it referred to as the “third eye.” It’s located in the center of the brain, at the same level as the eyes. Its main hormone is melatonin, which influences mood and daily rhythms and helps regulate sleep-wake cycles.
By detoxifying this gland, we seek to decalcify it. Pineal gland calcification occurs when the body is in acidosis, meaning its lymphatic system isn't eliminating toxins from the body. More fluoride accumulates in this gland than any other, as does phosphorus. The decalcification protocol includes eliminating junk food, reducing fluoride exposure, and eating a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables. Chlorella, iodine (seaweed), and beets are powerful agents in helping the body reverse calcification.
2- Pituitary gland
The pituitary gland hangs from the base of the brain by a stalk and is surrounded by bone. It is about the size of a pea. This gland works closely with the hypothalamus to regulate all processes related to primitive reactions, including stress, body temperature, anger, thirst, and hunger. Once activated by the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland releases the necessary hormones into the bloodstream. It also controls thyroid function.
The pituitary gland is very important, even though it's a very small part of our body. When we detox, the pituitary gland will be hard at work releasing healing growth hormones, so we want to make sure we support it during this process.
3- Thyroid Gland
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, just below the Adam's apple and above the collarbone. It regulates the body's energy use and governs metabolism. A sluggish thyroid can manifest itself symptomatically as fatigue, brain fog, depression, difficulty losing weight, brittle nails, and much more.
The thyroid system plays a pivotal role in your metabolism. Along with insulin and cortisol, thyroid hormone is one of the three hormones that control metabolism and weight. So, if you're detoxing but still not losing weight, it's time to focus on your thyroid.
4- Thymus gland
It's essentially the brain of your immune system. It's located just below your breastbone. It's large when you're a baby, but it shrinks after puberty because your body no longer stimulates it naturally.
Its function is to program white blood cells, the body's immune army, into their various tasks and then send them into the blood to recognize and destroy pathogens.
The thymus develops our resistance to bacteria, viruses, toxins, and allergens, and also stimulates the production of white blood cells in the bone marrow.
The thymus gland also responds very well to our emotions and shuts down when we feel stressed. As a result, white blood cells become fewer and less aggressive. This is a very clear example of why reducing stress in your life is so important for your overall health.
5- Adrenal Glands
We have two adrenal glands, roughly the size of walnuts and located just above the kidneys. Your adrenal glands are unique among other glands because they not only produce numerous essential hormones and steroids such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and so on, but they also produce all the electricity for the autonomic nervous system.
It has been said that if you want to heal your Endocrine System, you must start with your Adrenal Glands.
The adrenal glands are like the body's "batteries" because the neurotransmitters they produce act as the "electricity" that drives every subconscious action in the body. This includes digestion, breathing, lymphatic movement, and the general function of all glands and organs.
6- Pancreas
Located in the small intestine, the pancreas is a leaf-shaped organ that plays a very important role in digestive health. It is both an exocrine and endocrine gland. The pancreas produces hormones like insulin that help keep blood sugar levels stable. It also produces digestive enzymes that break down the food you eat so your body can absorb it more efficiently.
Of course, the pancreas is greatly affected by diet, so it's imperative to eliminate foods that turn the body acidic. Hot showers, plenty of water, and yoga can also help.
CONCLUSION
Sometimes it may seem like detoxification is a long, complicated, and difficult process. In reality, it's quite the opposite. Our bodies are detoxification machines, and our entire lymphatic system does just that. Remember, not all of them are mentioned here, but they are the main ones.
Your body already has everything it needs to achieve optimal health and well-being. Your job is simply to provide the environment it needs to function as designed.
