Episode 29
Friday, 21 November, 2025
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 problemsThis episode sets the foundation for understanding how the endocrine system, metabolism, and environmental influences work together to shape long-term health outcomes.
