What are the beacons of reproduction in humans?

The human placenta is under the control of two major hormones. Those two hormones are progesterone and leptin. Progesterone is pro-gestation. Leptin powers the energy to the placenta in pregnancy. The goal of the human placenta is simple. Its job is to steal the DHA, iodine, and Vitamin D stores in the pregnant women’s buttocks and hips where it is stored and it transfers it slowly over the 9 months to the infants forming neural circuits. This action depletes the woman’s stores as time elapses. If she starts off the journey depleted, the child’s brain will pay that toll in diminished neurologic function. A woman’s normal hip to waist ratio is ideally at 0.7. This too is controlled by optimal levels of DHA and the brain specific nutrients in her body. Her natural curves are present as an evolutionary signal to males that she is a good candidate for mating because she has the correct amount of brain-specific nutrients to make an optimal human brain. This is how evolution helps us select mates ideally using epigenetics. The hip to waist ratio in women is a key symbol to males that DHA is present in abundance, while inflammation is low, and her hormones are optimal to support gestation and successful reproduction of a progeny. Modern life, culture and socialization have destroyed many of these ancient evolutionary signals in our species. Women who are infertile usually are leptin resistant and do not have the correct hip to waist ratio because they are either lacking DHA or have too much omega 6 fat in their bodies to support placental function. In many of my educational consults, I explain to people that the goal of the human placenta in the mother is to “spin” the brain-specific nutrients into her child’s head from her body, just like it is her own gut’s job to spin the brain specific nutrients in her diet into her own head. The process in her gut parallels the placental physiology. It is controlled by the progesterone to estradiol ratio, inflammation, and leptin function. There is little difference from a biochemical standpoint. What many of them do not realize is that blocking the normal extremely low EMF fields by the combination of man-made EMFs has the same effect as a very poor diet. In many cases, this effect is far more dominant than just diet alone. All life is about energy. And when we lack it or can not transfer it properly to new cells of a new developing organism, neolithic diseases usually follow. This is how the brain and gut are tied to one another again by evolution. Form always follows function in life. It is human adaptation in the shortened gut that helped us able to encephalize from transitional apes as the diet and field our environment gave us changed. During human evolution there is nothing in the fossil record to make us think that an altered EMF signal was present. For the last 112 years however, there has been an abundance of evidence that the field has changed dramatically, while the food sourcing has also been altered by manufacturing and the food agra- complex and government interventions via regulation.
