Why is insulin resistance so common nowadays? How did hypothyroidism become a widespread disease? What factors contribute to the obesity epidemic? Why is menopause starting at a much earlier age nowadays?
We have become accustomed to classical medicine treating our various health problems in isolation, focusing on symptoms and trying to extinguish the fire with medications. However, the organs that keep our endocrine system functioning form an inseparable unity, and achieving a healthy hormone balance requires a holistic approach to healing. It is not possible to separate the treatment of the thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs, as they all work in perfect harmony. The HPA axis - the functional relationship between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal cortex - also known as the stress axis, plays a key role in balancing various modern diseases, for which there are better solutions than simply taking medication.
In this lifestyle book, we offer a fresh approach to achieving hormonal balance, comprehensive, organ-supporting recommendations, and recipes. We target the energy furnaces functioning in our cells, the mitochondria, and strive to ensure they perform their tasks perfectly again by changing our lifestyle. The recipes are based on foods abundant in antioxidants supporting mitochondrial function and other beneficial nutrients. We do not focus on what is forbidden, what not to eat, what not to do, what to give up on. Because abstaining, deprivation is also stressful, and exclusion from communal meals is socially isolating. We provide guidance on what decisions lead to a life free from limitations, towards a healthy life.
