What is hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands (pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, gonads, etc.) and released into the bloodstream. They regulate metabolism, growth, stress response, reproduction, and emotional states.
Key Hormones in ONDA Life
- •Cortisol — stress hormone; high baseline indicates chronic stress
- •DHEA, Testosterone — adrenal and sex steroids (ONDA does not measure them)
- •Oxytocin — trust, social bonding
- •Adrenaline — acute arousal, energy for action
In ONDA Life
Part 9 "Biochemical Resonance" trains the hypothalamus to generate the "victory state" through hormonal release — even before real action begins. The mental image triggers the same chemical response as actual success.
