<p>blood sugar has an awful lot to do with the manufacture of estrogen down the road I'm going to be looking at adrenals stress hormones your secondary sex glands are your adrenals and your adrenals and your blood sugar work together you can look at that segment and when adrenals go up then blood sugar goes up when adrenal goes down blood goes down when your blood sugar is high and low it affects these things called sex hormone-binding globulin 's these are the things that carry your estrogen all over the place and so when you're stressed and your adrenals are flaring off and it's causing your blood sugar to be high it screws with these old taxi cabs these sex sex hormone-binding globulin now all the sudden you're not getting estrogen that where you're supposed to be and it shows up as low as sturgeon and it's actually that you're stressed that's affecting your adrenals that's affecting your blood sugar and all of that is affecting you are female hormone Cycles so again</p>

<p>I'm going to present you with a little different look on that there's a reason that your testosterone is low we're going to talk about there's a reason that it's being presented last and actually the way we look at problems is not that their testosterone is low but the vast majority this is usually the problem basically male problems with the exception of prostate problems which is too much testosterone because it's not getting cleared out are low testosterone problems secondary to estrogen being high and that's has a term is called andropause and when I mentioned that to my male patients they kind of look at me like like they've never heard the term before</p>

<p>in a certain context of an entire frame of reference that's called functional medicine and functional medicine is no longer about chasing symptoms and that's what the medical profession has been about and then you know it's their defense they were about fixing broken legs and then having heroics surgeries and heart transplants and then making drugs that got ready to send this because nobody knew any different but when you really look at it the Health Care System the Alternative Healthcare System as a lot of it has followed that model and I look online and I look at certain well-known websites which I was looking at last night it's like magnesium here are the 12 things you can do for met that night Museum does and next thing you do is you can take that magnesium is going to work and it does for most people for just a short period of time and when I say most people I'm talking about the patients who walk in here and I'm talking about the patients who are looking online today</p>
