21.01.2022 Ankle sprains, pains, instability & other ligament damage? Check your hormones According to the article, Ligaments are often stressed because of failing muscle...s and surrounding tendons causing them to work harder than what they’re intended to. Here are some other important points that were raised: - Your ankles, and other ligament-prominent areas, (knee, shoulder, hand/wrist, foot, and pelvis), are also a key reflection of your health, especially hormonal health. - Hormonal levels and fluctuations directly affect ligament receptors and tissue repair. - There is a well-researched connection between the hormone Oestrogen and ligament injuries, specifically knee ACL injuries in women, more than other ligament injuries elsewhere in the body. - Joints that are under a mechanical load in the presence of oestrogen are known to incur a higher rate of ligament injury due to how the hormone affects collagen synthesis. - Sex hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone also affect water retention, which can increase swelling within the synovium (the soft tissue found between joints) and may increase injury due to pressure changes. - However there are no studies linking sex hormones and ankle sprains, (at least none that the author could find. - BUT any area where there is connective tissue, which is everywhere, is going to be affected by hormone receptors to various degrees. - Adrenal stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin have more of an influence on ligaments than sex hormones. - For many women especially during the luteal phase of the cycle, (just after ovulation until the start of menses), a woman may be more susceptible to ligament damage. - Women can also be affected if their sex hormones are out of balance. - Hormonal therapies including oral contraceptives (‘The Pill’) will increase the risk factor greatly for ligament-type injuries and damage. - The balance of hormones is often more important than overall sufficient levels.

10.01.2022 Update on Doris. In November she had a small setback after suffering a stroke. The neurologist told her she would get no more than 30% use of her left side back.... We are obviously way past that. There's little doubt that having a 75x5x3 squat, 55x5x3 press and a 120 pound deadlift before the stroke helped her recovery. We are excited to sets some new PRs in 2019. See more
