In this segment, the speaker explains how adrenal hormones, together with thyroid hormones, regulate cellular activity and metabolic rate. They note that supporting adrenal function can be approached through functional lifestyle changes such as more sleep and exercise. The discussion then shifts to reproductive hormones—estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—emphasizing that balance among these hormones is crucial for both male and female phenotypes. When hormonal balance is achieved, mitochondrial efficiency improves, leading to a healthier metabolic rate.

The adrenal hormones, along with the thyroid hormones, help to regulate the way that the cell works. So again, that might be a functional type of treatment. It might just involve getting more sleep. It might involve getting more exercise. It could involve a million things, but your adrenals get involved in the act. Also, your reproductive hormones. And here it's more about balance. And men or women, it doesn't matter. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and all their related things have to be in a balance. And they're not all the same. And of course, male phenotype will skew one way, female phenotype will skew another way, et cetera. But the bottom line is if they're in balance, your metabolic rate, ergo your mitochondria are gonna work better.
