"Hormones, Health and Human Potential" with Dr Nicky Keay
We Do Science - The Sports Nutrition Podcast
The Network of Hormonal Releases in the Body
No individual hormone works in isolation. So for example, the thyroid axis that controls metabolic rate. One single hormone loop interacting with the external environment. But now you're talking about hormone networks. Do one small change will have a knock-on effect. Your nutrition, your breakfast, whether it's appropriate or not, will have a knocking-on effect on all the hormone networks in your body. And ultimately if we don't think longer term, how does that manifest itself? It could be an Olympic athlete who doesn't hold their own against other Olympians. That cannot possibly be right because there are multiple levels of hormone interaction and those combine to have a net outcome on your performance.
