We'd be happy to have you there.

Speaker 1:

So today you're going to discover a little bit about Ortho Molecular Medicine. You might be wondering what is that? Well, that is one of seven categories of Integrative Health taught over at the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. I will link up the Institute if you'd like to learn more about where I got my education from and how that can help you be a health coach in your home. It can help you to heal yourself and heal others, as I am doing, and it is absolutely a path that I chose that has heart. So, entrepreneurs, they have this boundary of hormone imbalance and it can be causing everything from dysregulated mood and energy levels to cognitive function and poor immunity, as well as other issues. And I do want to give you my disclaimer that I'm not providing any medical advice. I'm not a medical doctor. I don't claim to diagnose or treat or cure disease, but what I do is I help you get to the root cause of the problem, and a lot of times it's through my own personal experience. I'll share a little bit about my story here as we go through the podcast.

Speaker 1:

In our dynamic world, success isn't just about strategy and execution. It's also about maintaining our health and our well-being. As you already know, as entrepreneurs we face unique challenges balancing the demands of our businesses with the need to prioritize our physical and our mental health, and a lot of times those last two items get put on the back burner. And that's what I'm here for is to give you awareness, give you education, give you, bring you empowerment, and I'm here to support you on your health and wellness journey, through your entrepreneurial journey. So today we're exploring the role of something called DHEA, and that is a remarkable molecule that can profoundly impact our journey. So let's dive in.

Speaker 1:

What is DHEA? That stands for Dehydroepiandosterone Big word, that's why we call it DHEA and it is produced primarily by our adrenal glands. It's like a conductor in the symphony of our hormones, influencing everything from mood and energy levels to cognitive function and immune response. Essentially, it's a cornerstone of integrative health. So here's the thing. Like any conductor, dhea needs to strike the right balance. You hear me use that word balance quite often in the Breaking Boundaries podcast when I'm talking about integrative health, and that is the cornerstone to integrative health is balance, and DHEA is one of those cornerstones. So too little of DHEA and we're struggling against the tide, facing fatigue, stress and compromised cognitive function If we have too much of it, and we're riding a roller coaster of anxiety, irritability and disrupted bodily functions. Now I'm wondering if any of those symptoms resonate with you. Maybe you've experienced one of those. So how do we find that sweet spot? How do we harness the power of DHEA to fuel our entrepreneurial journey?

Speaker 1:

Well, the first step, as I often say, is awareness and, thanks to advancements and functional medicine, we now have access to at-home DHEA testing. This simple saliva sample can provide invaluable insights into our hormonal landscape, empowering us to make informed decisions about our own health and take control of our health. This is something that we do in the stress-mood metabolism at-home precision health test that we. You can learn more about that at loveneagewelnesscom, and we have plenty of blog posts. We have plenty of podcasts on at-home health testing and we also have a complete page dedicated to the health tests as well. If you go to our shop page, you can learn about them there, but the stress-mood metabolism test, a simple saliva test. It also takes a blood spot, which is for the thyroid panel and the blood sugar panel in there as well, but when it comes to the hormones, it's just simply a saliva test and you can look at your DHEA levels, as well as other things like estrogen and progesterone and testosterone very, very important as well as cortisol levels throughout the course of the day. So, armed with this knowledge, armed with our level of DHEA, we can take concrete steps to rebalance our hormones and unlock our full potential as entrepreneurs In the realm of ortho-molecular medicine, the supplementation of DHEA.

Speaker 1:

It's approached with a meticulous balance, because it is a very powerful molecule and we need to acknowledge its potential therapeutic benefits while prioritizing individualized dosages tailored to specific biochemical needs. And this is why, when we do at-home functional lab testing, it allows us to be able to create a bioindividualized wellness plan, specific for the person, because the amount of DHEA that you may or may not need is vastly different than what I may or may not need. So the functional lab testing really plays a crucial role in creating that personalized wellness plan for you. So DHEA, as a precursor to various hormones, holds promise in supporting adrenal function, supporting cognitive health and supporting overall well-being. However, prudent caution is always exercised. As I said, dhea is a very powerful molecule and excessive supplementation may disrupt hormonal equilibrium and lead to adverse effects. Thus, leveraging the functional medicine testing, you can do that with your local naturopathic doctor. You can do that with any integrative health practitioner. Level two you can find them at ihporg in the practitioner directory or right here at Levenigie Wellness, and we'd be happy to help you with your testing and that would give a comprehensive assessment of your hormonal profile. Alongside, regular monitoring would guide the judicious use of DHEA supplementation by aligning dosage with physiological requirements.

Speaker 1:

Orthomolecular practitioners strive to optimize health outcomes and this helps us to recognize the nuance interplay between DHEA levels and overall vitality. And it takes more than just supplementation when we implement this, and this is where we bring in the rest of integrative health. So here are five other strategies based on the de-stress protocol that I learned from my mentor, dr Stephen Cabral, and the de-stress protocol is an acronym for diet, for exercise, for stress reduction, for toxin removal, for rest, for emotional balance and, of course, science-back supplements that we're talking about today. And rounding it all out for the last S is success mindset. So, first, we want to cultivate mind-body harmony. We want to prioritize practices like mindfulness, meditation, tai Chi, qi Gong, yoga, deep breathing exercises, and all of this will help us to mitigate stress and nurture inner resilience.

Speaker 1:

Next, you want to nourish your body with purpose and fuel yourself with nutrient-dense foods, and consider integrating adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha or rhodiola into your diet to support adrenal health. Third, you want to prioritize restorative sleep. I can't emphasize enough how important optimizing sleep is in a wellness protocol. Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a tranquil bedtime ritual not just a routine, but a ritual to signal your body that it's time to unwind. Fourth, harness the power of movement. Engage in regular physical activity, not too close to bedtime, that enlivens your body and invigorates your spirit, whether it's walking, strength training, tai Chi, qi Gong or even dancing is excellent activity, but, like I said, not too close to bedtime, because that's going to elevate cortisol. Exercise is a stressor on the body and that's going to elevate cortisol and we don't want to do that too close to bed.

Speaker 1:

And finally, foster supportive connections. Surround yourself with a nurturing community of like-minded individuals who uplift and inspire you on your entrepreneurial journey. Supportive connections is one of the nine essential components that were practiced within all of the blue zones, where people tend to live in these communities upwards of 100 years old healthily, and being in that supportive community is absolutely crucial for longevity. So by now, you've realized that by incorporating these strategies into your life, you can recalibrate your hormonal equilibrium and unlock your full potential as an entrepreneur.

Speaker 1:
