Adrenal Fatigue Adrenal Stress Program

Adrenal Fatigue & Adrenal Stress Program

What Are Your Adrenal Glands?

The adrenal glands are walnut sized glands that sit on top of each kidney and are responsible for making some very important hormones. Their purpose is to help your body cope with stress and to survive. It is their job to enable your body to cope with stress from every possible source, ranging from injury and disease to work and relationship problems. Your resiliency, energy, endurance and your very life all depend on the proper functioning of your adrenal glands.

Cortisol, the main stress hormone, helps regulate your immune system, blood sugar, metabolism and bodily inflammation. When we experience chronic prolonged stress, the adrenal glands will continue to make cortisol at the expense of the other hormones it makes such as DHEA, Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone etc.  We find that women going through the stress of menopause along with other life stressors, makes cortisol at the expense of the sex hormones, causing symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, insomnia and more! During younger years, a woman's ovaries produce her sex hormones. However, as a woman begins to go through menopause and her ovaries slow down their sex hormone production, the adrenal glands take over this responsibility. So-if you are stressed out, you will make stress hormones at the expense of sex hormones!!
