Title: Assessing Age-Related Blood Markers for Creating Herbal and Nutritional Protocols
Speaker: Donald Yance
The ability of the body to maintain hormonal balance can be determined by blood levels of DHEA, hemoglobin, thyroid hormone, melatonin and human growth hormone. In addition, the ability to maintain or enhance cellular growth can be determined by levels of homocysteine, C-reactive protein, lipids, fibrinogen and T-helper cells. Once these blood markers are evaluated, a comprehensive treatment plan can be arrived at for increasing adaptation to stress and increasing anabolic hormone activity. Specific adaptogens for accomplishing this are described, including Leuzea, eleuthero, mumie, rhodiola and ashwagandha. Similar treatment protocols can be arrived at for regulating insulin metabolism, glycation, testosterone production, human growth hormone and mitochondrial efficiency. The lecture concludes with some insights into the aging process.
