Sleep and low energy: Insomnia is often associated with pineal gland dysfunction because this is where melatonin (often known as the sleep hormone) is secreted. While this is true, sleep problems reflect hormonal imbalances between cortisol, growth hormone and melatonin.
Cortisol is an important hormone secreted by our adrenal glands (also known as the 'stress' glands). Under normal health conditions, cortisol is highest in the morning giving the pick-up and go that is needed and should be lowest in the evening when it is time to relax before bed. In conjunction with our nervous system, it enables our body and mind to shut down for the night. When its 24-hour rhythm is offset, common symptoms can include feeling tired upon waking and feeling 'wired' in the evening before bed.
Different types of stressors have a 'trickle down affect' and can affect our bodies at one of more levels of the hypothalamus (also known as the control center), the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and/or the nervous system.
Our state of mind, whether relaxed or stressed, directly affects hormone balance."

Climate Change Update: Canadian companies sees cap-and-trade regulations could provide a significant market opportunity
The recent survey of 108 large Canadian companies is part of the annual worldwide study conducted by the non-profit CDP on behalf of more than 500 institutional investors. Over the past decade, the group has cajoled more and more global firms to disclose their policies and initiatives related to climate change and water usage.
More than half of the companies that responded to the survey said they sell at least some products or services that help clients reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. At the same time, more than 85 per cent said they have a program in place to reduce their emissions – usually by cutting energy use in their buildings or plants.
“Large organizations … are seeing climate change as a business imperative that needs to be dealt with,” said Zoe Tcholak-Antitch, North American director of CDP. “Climate change represents the first-ever predictable industrial revolution, and I think a lot of companies are really beginning to see that.”"
