In Part 1 of our hormone series, we explore how hormonal balance influences inflammation, metabolism, and overall musculoskeletal health. Many patients do not realize how much external hormonal inputs can affect long-term wellness and how these factors interact with scoliosis risk.
In this episode, we cover:
• How birth control pills can contribute to inflammation
• The differences between synthetic hormones and the hormones produced naturally by the body
• Research showing that certain synthetic hormones may be associated with increased cancer risk (contextual discussion, not individualized medical advice)
• Glyphosate as an environmental compound with estrogen-mimicking properties
• How birth control pills may provide symptom relief while potentially suppressing natural hormone production
• Why most children diagnosed with scoliosis have low body fat
• Why having low adipose tissue does not rule out metabolic or insulin-related problems
This episode sets the foundation for understanding how the endocrine system, metabolism, and environmental influences work together to shape long-term health outcomes.
