See Below Symptoms we handle on a daily basis, .
1. Digestive Issues
- Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, food intolerances, IBS
How NRT Helps:
- Identifies stressors such as food intolerances, chemical sensitivities, or pathogens (e.g., bacteria, parasites, yeast) impairing digestion.
- Pinpoints nutritional deficiencies (e.g., low stomach acid or enzyme production).
- Customizes supplement plans with probiotics, digestive enzymes, or herbal remedies to support the digestive system's healing process the body can restore its health for the long term.
2. Hormonal Imbalances
- Irregular cycles, painful menstruation; menopause symptoms, thyroid issues, fatigue
How NRT Helps:
- Detects stressors in the endocrine system (hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal gland thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, testes, thymus, adrenal, uterus, and ovaries).
- Reveals nutrient imbalances that affect hormone production, such as iodine for thyroid health or magnesium for adrenal support.
- Recommends natural remedies and supplements like adaptogens or glandular support to regulate hormones.
The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and release hormones to regulate various body functions. Here are the primary endocrine glands in the human body:
1. Hypothalamus Function: Regulates the pituitary gland and links the nervous system to the endocrine system through hormone production.
2. Pituitary Gland ("Master Gland") Function: Produces hormones that control other endocrine glands (e.g., thyroid, adrenal glands) and regulates growth, reproduction, and water balance.
3. Pineal Gland: (Sleep/Sex Function) Function: Produces melatonin, regulating sleep-wake cycles.
4. Thyroid Gland Function: Produces hormones (thyroxine [T4] and triiodothyronine [T3]) that regulate metabolism, growth, and development.
5. Parathyroid Glands Function: Regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the blood through parathyroid hormone (PTH).
6. Adrenal Glands Functions: Adrenal cortex: Produces corticosteroids (e.g., cortisol, aldosterone) that regulate metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure. Adrenal medulla: Produces catecholamines (e.g., adrenaline and noradrenaline) involved in stress responses.
7. Pancreas (Islets of Langerhans) Function: Regulates blood sugar by producing insulin (lowers blood sugar) and glucagon (raises blood sugar).
8. Ovaries (in females) Function: Produce estrogen and progesterone, which regulate menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and secondary sexual characteristics.
9. Testes (in males) Function: Produce testosterone, regulating sperm production and secondary sexual characteristics.
10. Thymus Function: Produces thymosin’s, which are involved in the development of T-cells (immune system). It is more active during childhood.
These glands work together to maintain homeostasis, growth,
reproduction, and many other vital body functions.
