It has amazed me how often people as young as in their thirties will accept feeling badly for an extended period of time simply because they feel they’re “getting older”. One of my dearest patients was 85 years old when she came to the office complaining of being a “little stiff”. She had only been in my office about twice a year over the prior two years but after recognizing that she had a relatively minor but nagging problem she remarked, “I turned 83 and I’m falling apart!” Oh that we would all make it to 85 before expressing that sentiment.
At age 85 and certainly earlier many people would have reason to attribute their maladies to aging. However, most people fail to recognize many of the factors that can accelerate the aging process.
We live in a toxic world! If you live at the beach and park your car outside without a cover, the paint will look old and rust will develop much more quickly than it would if you parked it in a garage and put something over it. That being said, what might you do to improve your condition?
One of the primary ways that toxins can affect your body is by negatively impacting your endocrine or hormone system. Whether you’re male or female, young or old, symptoms of apathy, low energy, decreased sex drive, PMS or mood disturbances among other things could all be related to hormonal imbalances.
Correcting hormonal imbalances is sometimes straightforward and sometimes it’s not. It’s important to recognize that toxins and chemical compounds with hormonal effects (that we’re all exposed to) can be the root cause of one’s hormonal disturbance. To get the maximum benefit from treatment, the issue of toxic load must be addressed.
Are you aware of the substances in your home that you apply, consume, breathe or otherwise assimilate that may be contributing to a problem? Is hormone balancing without detoxification effective? Does detoxification without hormone balancing work well? Is there anything you can do on your own? Although the answers are too detailed to write about here, these and other issues will be discussed in detail at our two upcoming seminars. Learn how to look and live younger! We hope you will join us.
