NTA Final Study Guide | with complete solution Big Idea Minerals - calcium is a game of co factors SHOVED PH range of blood is - 7.35-7.45 PTH is responsible for - exchange of calcium between the bone and blood calcitonin - stimulates osteoclast Osteoclast activity - breaks down the bone Osteoblastic activity - builds the bone sex hormones - stimulate osteblast Big idea for Hydration - water is the most common nutritional deficiency in the American population Early signs of dehydration - fatigue, anxiety, irritability, depression, cravings, cramps, headaches Mature signs of dehydration - heartburn, joint pain, back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, constipation, colitis formula for daily water intake - 1/2 body weight in oz 3 diuretic beverages - coffee, soda, caffeinated teas diuretic re-hydration - 12-16 oz of water for every 8 oz 5 classes of endocrine hormones - steroid, thyroid, amines, peptides & protein, eicosanoids Lipid soluble hormones - steroid, thyroid water soluble hormones - amines, peptides & proteins, eicosanoids Steroid - derived from cholesterol comes from good fats, unrefined complex carbs Thyroid - derived from iodine atoms & tyrosine comes from quality proteins and iodine Amines - derived from amino acid comes from quality protein Peptides & proteins - derived larger chain amino acids quality proteins Eicosanoids - derived from fatty acids healthy fats Big idea #1 endocrine - endocrine is complex and we always support the whole as well as the parts Big idea #2 endocrine - respect the endocrine individuality of each client big idea #3 endocrine - always address the foundations first Mineral balance- thyroid - iodine mineral balance - prostate - Zinc mineral balance- pituitary - Manganese mineral balance- pancreas - chromium mineral balance- gonads - selenium mineral balance- adrenals - copper Big idea #1 - immune - always address the foundations first- healthy digestion is key to healthy immunity (70-80% of healthy immunity is in the gut) big idea #2- immune - to improve immune function, strengthen the defenses and remove the stressors big idea #3- immune - to resolve food intolerances address the true allergies along with sensitivities 3 lines of defense for the immune system - non specific resistance barrier, non specific innate, specific or adaptive/acquired non specific resistance barrier - first line of defense meant to stop entrance of invaders non specific innate - second line of defense- white blood cells and other substances that provide a rapid response - acting as a surveillance team specific- adaptive/acquired - white blood cells attack invaders who escaped the first 2 lines of defense 2 types of responses for adaptive/acquired immunity - cell mediated response, antibody mediated response cell mediated response - stimulation and activation of T cells antibody mediated response - stimulation and activation of B cells 3 questions to address when clients have food intolerances - 1. is the problem caused by something the client needs to avoid 2. is the problem caused by something that needs to be eliminated or detoxified 3. is the problem caused by a deficiency in something 3 types of reactions to a new protocol - healing reaction, sensitivity/allergic reaction, digestive reaction Cocoa's pulse t
