Let's talk a bit about hormones and clear up the main doubts on the subject.
Watch:
✅ What are hormones? Why are they “messengers”?
✅ Where does the term “hormones” come from?
The origin of the word hormone is Greek, HORMAO, which means stimulus, movement. It was physiologists Ernest Starling and William Bayliss, both British, who identified the substances called hormones in 1902.
✅ What are they for?
(Analogy between hormones and a city without media, or with insufficient media, or with errors in media)
✅ Who has hormones?
✅ Who needs hormones from time to time in life?
✅ The need for hormones tends to vary throughout the stages of life - does everyone always need them?
Who produces hormones in the body?
✅ What does the body need to produce hormones properly?
Healthy lifestyle habits and quality food as a basis.
✅ Do hormones invariably cause cancer, heart attacks, strokes, thrombosis and other problems?
Bioidenticals are safer, but anything can cause problems if misused.
Even medicines, supplements and water: understand.
Rational use of hormones:
Only for those with good lifestyle habits, preferably bioidentical, avoid oral administration, use the lowest possible dose and, preferably, use guided by tests (for those who have reliable tests available for evaluation).
How to treat hormonal deficiencies?
Allow the body to produce its own hormones in the quantity it needs. When this fails or symptoms require more urgent intervention, replenish the necessary hormones, preferably with bioidenticals.
✅ Why shouldn't you use hormones before improving your lifestyle?
✅ Who can prescribe hormones?
A good, up-to-date endocrinologist, based on quality knowledge, certainly “knows more” about the subject - but any doctor can prescribe them, as long as, preferably out of common sense and in the patient's best interests, they have sufficient knowledge, training and practice to do so.
✅ Dangers of contraceptives and hormones with a different molecular structure to what the body recognizes as its own
(Greater chance of the body trying to neutralize the “foreign” molecule)
Important note
The idea here is not to exhaust the subject, be the “owner of the truth” or replace your health professional's advice on your case. After all, they're the ones who know your clinical condition and your tests and who are monitoring you. My idea with this video was to try to help answer the main questions on the subject in question.
Note Dr. Ícaro - I'm not an endocrinologist: I'm a homeopath, with a post-graduate degree in Orthomolecular Medicine and Sports Nutrology (in progress).
The video is homemade and therefore not very good quality, for which I apologize, but I hope it fulfills its purpose of providing quality information. I look forward to your suggestions and comments to improve it and make it even more useful in the next version.
