Describe the 3 Big Ideas for Endocrine:
|
1. Endocrine is a system of complex relations. Always support the whole as well as the parts. 2. Respect the endocrine individuality of each client. 3. Always address the foundations first.

|
Five classes of lipid and water soluble hormones and identify the components of each.
|
Lipid Soluble:
(1)Steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol) ~ dietary need: good fats, unrefined complex carbs; (2)Thyroid hormones (derived from iodine atoms + tyrosine) ~ dietary need: iodine, quality proteins Water Soluble: (1) Amines (modified amino acids) ~ dietary need: from quality proteins, (2) Peptides and protein hormones (chains of amino acids) ~ dietary need: quality proteins (3) Eicosanoids (derived from fatty acids) ~ dietary need: good fats, including EFAs |

Describe how diet supports the endocrine system:
|
hormones are derived from various dietary needs
|
|
|
|
Describe how digestion supports the endocrine system:
|
needed to assimilate proper nutrients to create hormones. Two ways that digestion supports the endocrine system are that we provide good digestion of proteins and fats, which are both dietary precursors to the production of endocrine system hormones.

|
Describe how mineral balance supports the endocrine system:
|
every endocrine organ has a mineral on which it is particularly dependent: Thyroid/iodine, Prostate/Zinc manages reproductive cycle of men, Pituitary/manganese (MAN/PRO), Pancreas/chromium (3syllables), Gonads/selenium as enzyme for conversion from one precursor to sex hormone itself, Adrenals/copper (AC/DC) needed for amine hormone secretion

|
Describe how fatty acids support the endocrine system:
|
EFAs and other fats are critical to the entire endocrine system. Body cannot make hormones w/o fats; endocrine factories are inside the cells and phospholipids control what goes in and out of the cell; a healthy cell membrane is also needed for the cellular/hormonal communication to take place.

|
|
Describe how hydration supports the endocrine system:
|
supports the efficient transport of hormones throughout the body, ensures proper viscosity of the blood and interstitial fluids.
|
|
|
|
Describe how blood sugar regulation supports endocrine:
|
any attempt to normalize hormonal imbalances is futile until blood sugar/adrenal issues are addressed. 2 ways that managing your BS help endocrine system: you don’t wear out important endocrine organs that have other functions
