Sacred Secretions
THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system is a complex system that
consists of hormones, which are chemical
messengers that we prefer to call our “sacred
secretions.” These sacred messengers are the key to
maintaining all of our internal systems, from the
nervous to the immune and digestive systems,
connected with the outside world and each other.
When the endocrine system is working optimally, our
whole bodies are moving harmoniously with nature’s
own sacred rhythm and communicating flawlessly
within ourselves. Reference the attached image* for
more details on what sacred secretion is released by
which organ system.
When we expose ourselves to toxic chemicals such as dyes and preservatives in food,
synthetic cosmetics, body care products, or cleaning agents – we disrupt this
delicate network which then compromises many basic yet crucial functions and thus
our ability to communicate properly with our environment and our own self. This
disconnection of ourselves with nature is the beginning of most if not all dysfunction
in the body that, if not addressed and restored, will lead to disease. It is akin to
communication towers going down in a major city and chaos erupting there after.
Areas of the body that are highly porous and permeable most easily impact the
entire endocrine system, especially the oral cavity and the skin, since their primary
function is connecting and assimilating our internal world with nature. Due to their
chemical structure similarities to our body’s own hormones: sugar, perfumes, and
dyes (food and cosmetic) wreak the most havoc on the endocrine system and
highlight the importance of proper oral and skin health when in contact with these
compounds. It is crucial to research your household products to ensure that you are
cleaning yourself, your family, and your home properly without compromising healthy
tissue.
More and more, information is coming forth that common beauty products lead to
cancer ([Link]

most common endocrine disruptors in food, body care products, and
commercial cleaning products.

Assess your current pantry, body care products, and cleaning products in your
home to see if there are any endocrine/hormone-disrupting ingredients. Begin
transitioning to cleaner products as you are able.
SUPPORTING YOUR ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Eat low carb, organic, and high cruciferous vegetable content. This helps
encourage elimination of toxic compounds through the liver and fills the body
with clean nutrients.
Reduce and avoid all sugar – especially from candy, desserts, and processed
foods.
