Our Energy Body: How to Predict Downtime

The frequencies active this week are hard on thyroid function including the biochemical that balances T3 and T4; expect energy fluctuations.

In addition, tyramine, a biochemical made from the thyroid associated amino acid, and tyrosine, come into play on Saturday.

Tyramine – from cheese, and other fermented foods, even chocolate. Can cause migraines and increase blood pressure.

Major tyramine containing foods include: picked, aged, smoked, fermented or marinated foods, like ham or sauerkraut, sour cream, yogurt, soy sauce, plus foods like beans, snow peas, avocados, bananas, pineapple, eggplant, plums, figs, brazil nuts, coconut, processed meat, yeast and many cacti plants.

In addition to headaches and hypertension, tyramines can cause critical high blood pressure, disturbances in dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. So if you have this sensitivity, your energy may be waning.

Unfortunately, phenethylamine from chocolate is also a tyramine culprit.

Muscle stiffness may be an issue this week as the enzyme, chymopapain, that helps remove “trash” from muscle fibers becomes stressed. Chymopapain can be purchased if you find this to be an issue this week.

Muscles in stress this week: the sternocleidomastoid (neck/shoulder), the lens of the eye and the thumb.

Along with the issues with energy and tyramine, myostatin, another energy thief, comes into play. The more your cholesterols are unbalanced, the more your muscles will feel weak if myostatin is high.

Candida, a yeast-like pathogen is activated on Tuesday. It can cause itchy and blistery skin, plus inflammation of any wet/moist tissues of the body that are open to the air.

Toxin in stress – Ecstasy – depending on brain dominance, you may have a reaction that is not normal for you.

Important Vitamin in stress: Choline, (from eggs and meat) for clear thinking, cellular integrity and nerve signaling; supports the kidney and needs to be taken with its sister component, inositol.
