Catabolic Is Defined As Destructive Metabolism

Easy to Learn and Easy to Benefit From

 

Cortisol is the major catabolic steroid of the adrenal glands. Catabolic means "destructive metabolism". Cortisol is made from cholesterol, which converts into pregnenolone, which converts to progesterone which converts to cortisol.    That’s about all the technical info you’ll need to understand this page.

Cortisol levels are affected by the circadian rhythm, which is the fancy phrase for our daily sleep-wake cycle.

 

The amount of cortisol your body produces is also affected – heavily affected -- by stress and diseases. Cortisol is absolutely required for your body’s metabolism to function, particularly energy metabolism, cardiac maintenance, muscle function, and suppressing inflammations. Large amounts of cortisol are produced in the presence of stress.

 

The word ‘stress’ refers to both positive stress (eustress) and negative stress (distress). Most of the time, our use of the word stress is actually meant to convey distress.  Few of us use the word for fear of people mistakenly believing that distress refers to matters more serious than most of our daily aggravations.  All negative stress is distress, and you can bet that distress means definitively promoting a state away from health, balance, and ease.  It is the precise cause and definition of the word disease (dis-ease).

Chronic stress leads to chronic elevation of cortisol levels. Chronic cortisol elevation does nothing less than beat up your immune system. This persistent increase in cortisol production in the human body is directly associated with anorexia, depression, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, hypothyroidism, menstrual disorders, obesity, osteoporosis sleep disorders, and more. Dr. Cohen is highly skilled at addressing this issue with you. 

If ongoing, the adrenals become "exhausted" and levels drop below normal. This is often the case in "chronic fatigue syndromes" and can end in Addison's disease.  Dr. Cohen can use the Bodyscan to seek as much biofeedback information from your body as is possible to obtain, giving him the information to help you with.

High-protein diets increase cortisol and high-carbohydrate diets decrease it. The opposite is true of DHEA. Vegetarians have higher DHEA levels then omnivores!  It’s one reason we tend to eat too many sweets when we’re highly stressed.

Exercise relieves stress, but over exercise increases cortisol,

 often resulting in injury and/or loss of muscle mass from over training.

People who lowered their stress using relaxation techniques and by
listening to music lowered their cortisol by 23% and raised their DHEA by 100%

 according to the Institute of Heartmath in Boulder Creek, CA.

 

Without a doubt, from both allopathic and naturopathic viewpoints, there has never been, nor will they likely ever be, a more instant, more powerful, or more long-lasting shortcut to excellent, balanced health than the instaneously helpful, useful tools of relaxation (stress management) and particular forms of music. Never has been, nor will there likely ever be, a more useful, powerful weapon in the war against aging poorly.

 

Let’s be very clear: Dr. Cohen does not heal you,  your other doctors don’t heal you; The technology and the healthy, powerful natural remedies and the many effective machines that are part of Dr. Cohen’s expertise… none of these wonderful tools actually heal you:  in every case, they merely encourage your body to do what it is naturally designed for: to heal itself in a balanced, natural, healthful way.

 

You have many tools at your disposal.  Using more of them adds time to your life, puts more cash back in your pocket,  reduces your aggravation, & promotes happier healthier living.

 

     As you may have noticed, Dr. Cohen spends too much time with each patient, charges less than his peers and is so busy helping people to help themselves, such as providing dozens of free follow-ups to every Bodyscan, that he’ll never get wealthy from his practice.   When a community is fortunate enough to have this kind of dedication, the intelligent person makes use of that resource.   Live longer, live better.        That is Dr. Cohen’s philosophy and practice.

 

Adding quality and quantity to your life.   Does it get any better than that?

Talk less, do more… and enjoy instant, powerful, long-lasting benefit.
