1/3

Triglycerides are predominantly the carbs you ate that your body didn't get to use as energy because either you are consuming carbs too frequently or you are eating carbs in the presence of fat. HDL is a lipoprotein, often referred to as “good” cholesterol This is because it

absorbs other types of cholesterol and carries them away from your arteries and back to your liver, which eliminates it from your body. The lower the ratio between TG/HDL the more metabolically healthy you are, the less Insulin resistant you are, & the less cardio-vascular
3/3

event risk you are. Get this ratio to under 2.0 & better if closer to 1.0.
Fix:
Eat meat, eggs & seafood. Eliminate sugar, grains & vegetable oils. Eat some soluble fiber ( Avocados, etc), #LCHPMF, Strength train, take long walks & supplement Omega 3 & 7 fats & Berberine

1/7 Leptin has been firmly established as the essential hormone for the maintenance of energy homeostasis and body weight, and leptin resistance has been widely recognized as the key risk factor for obesity. Leptin promotes weight loss primarily by activating the LEPRb pathways
2/7 in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus. To provide the most comprehensive support for weight management, you need more than the standard metabolic health support. Special attention should be paid to the endocrine aspects of metabolism and appetite - in addition to
3/7 normal fat absorption, use and storage. Supporting a healthy balance of leptin and ghrelin is essential to providing a long term weight management strategy for your patients. Adipo-Leptin Benefits™ offers the right evidence-based ingredients to make that strategy work.

1/4 This is straight from Ray Peat, PHD
Few on the planet have his understanding of this situation.
Estrogen blocks the release of hormone from the thyroid gland, and progesterone facilitates the release. Estrogen excess or progesterone deficiency tends to cause enlargement
2/4 of the thyroid gland, in association with a hypothyroid state. Estrogen can activate the adrenals to produce cortisol, leading to various harmful effects, including brain aging and bone loss. Progesterone stimulates the adrenals and the ovaries to produce more progesterone,
3/4 but since progesterone protects against the catabolic effects of cortisol, its effects are the opposite of estrogen’s. Progesterone has antiinflammatory and protective effects, similar to cortisol, but it doesn’t have the harmful effects. In hypothyroidism,

1/4 How do seed oils cause hormonal imbalances?

There are many changes in hormones caused by unsaturated fats. Their best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Unsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the
2/4
circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of estrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the "protective hormones" progesterone and pregnenolone,
3/4
so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything which blocks the thyroid function.
