CP40 Protein Insufficiency and hormone imbalances

Chronic hormone imbalance with no clear cause. Before running more labs, assess protein intake. Protein-based hormones—epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, thyroid hormones—require adequate dietary amino acids to synthesize. Below 0.3 grams per pound of body weight, signaling pathways degrade. A 150-pound patient eating less than 50 grams daily won't stabilize their endocrine function. Target one gram per pound. You'll often see hormone markers normalize once protein intake is restored. Start your 7-day free trial at clinicalfunctionalmedicine.com #short
