Brain and Endocrine Crosstalk
by Hemanshu Prabhakar, 2026

This book explores the physiology and neurophysiology of the endocrine system, emphasizing the intricate brain-endocrine crosstalk, from pathophysiology to clinical applications. The dynamic interplay between neural and endocrine system regulates nearly every function of human body, from metabolism and growth to circadian rhythm.

Wondering what the status of this treaty is, and how much "teeth" it has.

"The most immediate bans or restrictions on single-use plastics, researchers say, should apply to products that are most likely to leak into the environment and cause harm and yet are relatively unnecessary. These include takeaway containers, #ChipBags, balloons, cotton swabs, disposable #ecigarettes and #TeaBags. (A number of environmental organizations including WWF have lists of products that the treaty should prioritize.)"

Finally, a solution to #plastic #pollution that’s not just recycling

Countries are negotiating a new global treaty to drastically reduce the plastic waste that has been poisoning the world.

Jun 7, 2023

"This treaty could be huge. Although it will take months of negotiating for any of the details to become clear, the agreement — set to be finalized by the end of 2024 — will require countries to do far more than just fix their recycling systems. Negotiators will discuss a menu of options including a cap on overall plastic production, bans on certain materials and products including many #SingleUsePlastics, and incentives to grow an industry around reusable items. This treaty could literally transform entire chunks of the global economy.

"As with any global deal, an ambitious agreement will face several roadblocks, some of which have already appeared. Certain countries, such as #SaudiArabia and the #US, for example, are pushing for voluntary terms that would allow them to continue investing in their #petrochemical #industries (plastic is a #petrochemical).

"Then again, the fact that global talks are happening at all is in itself a big deal and reveals a shift in the politics around waste. 'There’s a true willingness to tackle this problem,' said Erin Simon, vice president and head of plastic waste at the #WorldWildlifeFund, a large #environmental group. 'We’ve never seen so much progress.'

[...]

"Certain chemicals used in plastics are especially problematic and could be targeted by bans. Some #FlameRetardants, for example, are linked to #cancers and #endocrine disruption; they can also make plastics hard to recycle. A number of other additives and materials are similarly dangerous to humans or #ecosystems, or they make recycling difficult, such as polyvinyl chloride (#PVC) and various kinds of #PFAS (the so-called forever chemicals).

"The treaty may also ban or restrict a whole bunch of common, problematic products — namely, packaging and other #singleuse items, such as cups and cutlery."

Mean age of first period fell from 12.5 in participants born between 1950-1969 to 11.9 in participants born 2000-2005. Between 1950 -2005, percentage of people obtaining regularity within two years fell from 76.3% to 56%. Authors of study point to environmental factors, #endocrine-disrupting chemicals, metals, air pollutants, dietary patterns, psychosocial stress, adverse childhood experiences.

"Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide, and #endocrine disrupting chemicals are partly to blame. One such chemical is #DEHP, a #phthalate chemical commonly used in plastic hospital #IntravenousBags and #MedicalTubing, and a recent study finds that it’s interfering with breast cancer treatment and augmenting the odds of relapse. Pete Myers, the founder and chief scientist of Environmental Health Sciences, talks with Host Steve Curwood about the study findings and how to protect patients from harm caused by endocrine disrupting chemicals."

They say that the modern methods used in "transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with suprasellar approach" are less invasive than other/older methods used in this type of neurosurgery. Ok sure, but it's still neurosurgery with a 66-90% success rate, and the medications suck. 🤕 🧠

The Green Science Policy Institute just released a map that exposes the global footprint of flame retardants, found in all types of wildlife.

These chemicals slowly leach out of products into the environment, leading to widespread exposure in wildlife and possible cancer, endocrine disruption, behavioral changes, and more health harms.

These chemicals are also associated with similar human health problems.

Yeah, they have limited/inconsistent effects for me too. The complexity of the #endocrine system is what I mean. The glands are all interconnected & homeostasis comes from their negative feedbacks. I had a completely new set of characteristics to deal with after having my thyroid removed, much worse than before.

Taking the same dosis daily does not work for me as with NTs, for example. We have no way of real-time monitoring so that our personal rhythms could be supported. This is similar with meds for #AuDHD.

Do you know of any factors in common for people who they don't work for?
