6 NTA foundations - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. Nutrient-dense
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


properly prepared whole food diet
|\ |\ |\ |\




2. Digestion and Elimination
|\ |\ |\




3. Blood Sugar Regulation
|\ |\ |\




4. Fatty Acids
|\ |\




5. Mineral Balance
|\ |\




6. Hydration
|\




Mineral balance Big Idea - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Calcium is a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


game of co-factors:
|\ |\




-Systemic pH |\




-Hormonal Function |\




-Hydration: Water & electrolytes |\ |\ |\




-Other Minerals |\




-Vitamins
-Fatty Acids
|\




-Digestion |\




Almost everyone gets enough Ca, but they are missing the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cofactors that allow the body to absorb and use it.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,Hydration. Big Idea - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Water is the most
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


common nutritional deficiency in the American population.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Note: |\




-Currently, there are no adequate biomarkers to measure
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


hydration status at the population level. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-The best way to obtain hydration is through the diet: purified
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


water, hydrating fruits, and vegetables.
|\ |\ |\ |\




Endocrine system 3 Big Ideas - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Endocrine is a system of complex relationships. Always support
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the whole as well as the parts.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2. Respect the endocrine individuality of each client.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




3. Always address the foundations first.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Immune System. 3 Big Ideas. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. In
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


nutritional therapy we address foundations first. Healthy
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


digestion is the key to healthy immunity |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2. To improve immune function, strengthen the defenses and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


remove the stressors |\ |\




3. The immune system vigilantly works to address the underlying
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


causes of inflammation to achieve homeostasis.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,Cardiovascular System. 3 Big Ideas - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Heart disease results from over-consumption of processed foods.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2. The health of the heart reflects the health of the body. Always
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


address foundations first |\ |\ |\




3. Inflammation is a significant cause of the most common form
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


of heart disease
|\ |\




Detoxification. 3 Big Ideas - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Detoxification is a parasympathetic process |\ |\ |\ |\




2. Detoxification frees vital cellular and organ activities to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


function productively and efficiently
|\ |\ |\




3. Never detoxify without addressing the foundations. All
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


elimination pathways must be open |\ |\ |\ |\




Foundations and Endocrine System - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Digestion. |\




1. All hormones are made of and run on nutrients. Compromised
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


digestion leads to poor absorption and creates deficiencies of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


required nutrients. Digestion of fats is especially important
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


because fatty acids are required for healthy hormone production.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2. Elimination. The steroid hormones have to be removed out of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the system after they have done their job. Compromised
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


elimination pathways will result in the steroid hormones to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


recirculate in the body. |\ |\ |\ |\

, 3. Leaky gut - triggers immune defense responses by leaking
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


undigested food pieces into the blood. This creates a stress |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


response in the body which will elevate cortisol production.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Chronically elevated cortisol contributes to pregnenolone steel
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


and further hormonal disbalances in the body. It also suppresses
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


immunity |\




4. GI system also helps with conversion thyroid hormones t4->t3
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




BS regulation:
|\ |\




Chronically elevated BS levels will eventually cause pancreatic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


endocrine function malfunction. |\ |\ |\




Hight cortisol levels could lead to pregnenolone steal and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


contribute to hormonal disbalance of other endocrine glands
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Fatty acids: |\




1. The deficiency of fatty acids will reduce the target cell
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


receptivity to hormones. |\ |\ |\




2. Endocrine factories are inside the cells. Phospholipids control
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


what goes in and out of the cell. The deficiency of fatty acids will
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


reduce the permeability of cells for steroid hormones.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Mineral balance: |\
