Why Your Musculoskeletal System is a Powerhouse Endocrine Organ 🦾
When we think of muscles, we often think of strength, movement, and aesthetics. But did you know your muscle tissue is an incredible endocrine organ that influences everything from hormone balance to metabolic health? As I work to specialize in chiropractic neurology and women’s health, I’m here to break down why maintaining muscle health is crucial for women, especially as we age. 1. Muscle: More Than Movement – A Metabolic & Hormonal Powerhouse Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a leading expert in muscle-centric medicine, describes muscle as the “organ of longevity.” When muscles are activated through exercise, they release myokines—hormone-like molecules that communicate with the rest of the body to regulate immune function, metabolic health, and even brain function. This is why muscle is sometimes called an endocrine organ! - Myokines help regulate blood sugar, support fat metabolism, and reduce inflammation. Maintaining muscle mass is essential not just for strength but for whole-body health, particularly for metabolic and cognitive resilience as we age. - Metabolic Benefits: Research shows that greater muscle mass can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders. Muscle acts like a metabolic sink, using glucose for energy, which helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels and prevents excess fat storage. 2. How to Support Optimal Muscle Health: Nutrition, Exercise, and Supplementation CHECK OUT OUR ESSENTIALS COURSE (FREE) FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS - Nutrition: Building and maintaining muscle starts in the kitchen! Dr. Stacey Sims emphasizes the importance of protein intake for women, particularly as we age. Aim for high-quality protein sources with each meal (lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes) to support muscle repair and growth. According to research, spreading protein intake throughout the day—roughly 20-30 grams per meal—can enhance muscle synthesis, promoting lean muscle mass and metabolic health. - Exercise: Resistance training is your muscle’s best friend. Exercises like weightlifting, resistance band work, and bodyweight training stimulate muscle growth, which in turn boosts your metabolic rate. Studies show that combining resistance training with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can maximize both strength and endurance, enhancing muscle health and hormonal balance. - Supplementation: Key nutrients such as vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for muscle function. Creatine, often associated with athletic performance, has been shown to improve muscle strength and cognitive function, particularly in women. Dr. Sims points out that creatine is not only safe but beneficial for women, supporting strength, cognition, and overall muscle health.

Every member in this community should take the time to read this. It takes a lot of care to condense so much valuable información into a few paragraphs… and anyone who did read it should let Thali know your biggest takeaway so she knows you are getting something from her efforts! Thank you Thali, I think I know why you chose to do Thrusters yesterday and Deadlifts today hehehe
How to Unlock the Essentials Course
As we continue building the Essentials Course, it will contain some of the most valuable information you have ever come across. This is the same information I have shared with many clients and patients in person that have helped transform lives. Since I am looking for ACTIVE members to help me build this community, this $2,000 course will be unlocked in 3 different ways: 1. A one time payment of $2,000. 2. Engage in no less than 20 conversations, posts and/or likes... you get an automatic point for every interaction and it will be posted under your picture so you can see your score at any time. 3. Invite 2 people that didn't previously know Dr. Alid or this group at tell them to state you invited them when they introduce themselves.

The Neurology of the Menstrual Cycle: How Your Brain Guides Every Phase
The menstrual cycle is driven by communication between the brain and ovaries through the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. Understanding this brain-body connection empowers women to track their cycles effectively and optimize their health. Phases of the Menstrual Cycle (~28 day cycle) and Brain Influence: Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5) - What’s happening: Uterine lining sheds as hormone levels drop. - Brain’s Role: The hypothalamus releases GnRH to stimulate Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) production by the pituitary gland - Mood/Energy: Low estrogen can cause fatigue, irritability, or brain fog. Follicular Phase (Days 6-14) - What’s happening: FSH promotes follicle growth; estrogen increases. - Brain’s Role: Estrogen improves serotonin levels, memory, and focus. - Mood/Energy: Feel energized, optimistic, and mentally sharp. Ovulation (Around Day 14) - What’s happening: A surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) triggers egg release. - Brain’s Role: Estrogen enhances reward circuits and social behavior. - Mood/Energy: Increased libido, confidence, and sociability. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28) - What’s happening: Progesterone rises to maintain the uterine lining. - Brain’s Role: Progesterone activates GABA receptors (calming effect). - Mood/Energy: Initially calm, but PMS (premenstrual syndrome) may occur as estrogen drops. *** I would suggest making note of any physical symptoms and/or feelings that may come up within this phase *** Hormones and Brain Function Across the Cycle - Estrogen: Boosts serotonin and neuroplasticity (positive mood and cognition). - Progesterone: Activates GABA for relaxation but drops near the period, causing PMS. - Cortisol: Chronic stress can disrupt the HPO axis, affecting cycle regularity. Tools for Tracking Your Cycle - Calendar Apps (i.e. Flo, Apple Health App, Period Calendar) - Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Tracking: 1. Use a basal thermometer 2. Take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed 3. A temperature rise (~0.3-0.5°F) indicates ovulation.

This is such a great overview for women to begin understanding and knowing themselves better! Great job and thank you! Here are my takeaways: 1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5) - Your body sheds the uterine lining, and hormone levels drop. - You might feel low-energy or mentally foggy. (normal as estrogen dips). - Tip: Take it easy; rest if needed. 2. Follicular Phase (Days 6-14) - Estrogen rises, prepping your body for ovulation. - You may feel your best with higher energy, sharper focus, and a positive mood. - Tip: Use this time for tasks that need focus and creativity. 3. Ovulation (Around Day 14) - An egg is released, with hormones at their peak. - You may get a boost in confidence, sociability, and libido – enjoy! - Tip: Great time for social events or new projects. 4. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28) - Progesterone rises to support the uterine lining, then drops if no pregnancy occurs. - You feel calm at first, but PMS can show up as hormone levels fall. - Tip: Jot down any symptoms (like cramps or mood changes) so you can spot patterns. + Tracking Tools: The ones Thali recommended are the ones she uses and are very helpful in multiple ways. Please ask us for more help or guidance on this if something is not clear.
