Endocrine System
Anatomy & Physiology
Overview
In this lesson, we introduce the endocrine system, its hormones, and their role in regulating metabolism, stress, and overall health.
Objective
Become familiar with how the endocrine system functions and how stress, movement, and lifestyle affect hormonal balance.
What You'll Get
You'll understand how hormones govern your energy, mood, sleep, and stress response. This lesson covers the major glands and hormones, the impact of chronic stress on the endocrine system, and how movement and rest can support hormonal health. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of why you feel the way you do and how your practice can help regulate your system. For teachers and therapists, this deepens your understanding of students dealing with fatigue, anxiety, thyroid issues, or hormonal imbalances.
