18. Adrenals
and
Sexual
Health
35% of college age men are infertile. Infertility has risen sharply for
females as well. Paul Pritchard, MS!
!
Overworked
Adrenals
con7nually
releasing
cor7sol
causes
the
pituitary
gland
to
become
sluggish
leading
to
low
progesterone
in
women
and
low
testosterone
in
men.
Adrenaline
will
shut
down
Progesterone.
Progesterone
is
an7depressant,
an7anxiety
and
diure7c.
Men
develop
breasts
and
low
libido,
Women,
PMS,
Depression,
anxiety,
fluid
and
weight
gain,
etc….
Prolonged
cor7sol
runs
down
liver’s
ability
to
detoxify
estrogens.
As
a
result,
estrogens
recirculate
in
more
toxic
form
in
the
bloodstream
raising
thyroid
binding
protein
levels.
Thyroid
cannot
get
into
the
cells.
