Question 3

Describe how The Foundations affect Cardiovascular Health

Answer 3

1. Digestion: HCl…proper stomach pH is necessary to make amino acids, calcium and B vitamins available for heart health
2. BSR: blood sugar imbalances lead to an overproduction of cortisol and insulin leading to chronic inflammation; inflammation increases risk for heart disease
3. Mineral Balance: Ca and Mg are essential for a healthy heart
4. FA Balance: healthy fats are the best source of energy for the heart
5. Hydration: dehydration can lead to hypertension

Answer 5

1. Endocrine is a system of complex relationships. Always support the whole as well as the parts.
2. Respect the endocrine individuality of each client
3. Always address The Foundations first

Question 6

3 Steps of Investigation for Food Reactions

Answer 6

1. Avoid
2. Detoxify
3. Deficiency

Question 7

Define Bio-Individuality

Answer 7

The way in which a person’s current circumstances change their nutritional needs

Question 8

Elevated ______ decreases T3

Answer 8

Cortisol

Question 9

List 2 ways that addressing The Foundations supports Immune & Allergy

Answer 9

1. Digestion: 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. Also HCl is a barrier against pathogens
2. Hydration: Overcoming colds, seasonal allergies, etc requires fluids…lymph, mucus, blood flow, and bringing moisture to lungs

4. Other Minerals
5. Vitamins
6. Fatty Acids
7. Digestion

Question 11

Answer 11

Pancreas and Liver

Question 12

Describe Nonspecific Resistance/Barriers (Immune System defense)

Answer 12

Meant to stop the entrance of invaders in the first place

Question 13

Define Epigenetics

Answer 13

The way in which the environment interacts with our genes, turning some On and others Off

Question 14

Anaerobic Movement longer than Aerobic

Answer 14
