Adrenals: hormone producing glands located on each kidney and responsible for production of adrenaline and cortisol and for coping with stress related issues.

Overview

The adrenals are ‘coping glands’ that are responsible for dealing with stress and anxiety; and are closely linked to leptin and insulin resistance.

The adrenals affect the ability to achieve DEEP SLEEP, and they heavily influence thyroid function and energy and fatigue levels.

Women handle stress differently than men, and stress which takes its toll on female physiology and hormone production.

Falling hair, loss of eyebrows, graying, thinning hair, particularly in females, is a sign of adrenal overload and dysfunctional thyroid.  Generally, it takes weeks and months for people with adrenal overload to ‘settle’.

Avoidance of sweets, medications and alcohol are critical to the process.  Deep sleep is mandatory.  A dependable source of magnesium ions and a transporter to shuttle ions into the cells cannot be ignored.

The adrenal glands are heavily influenced by the bowel and liver function.

For women who are having hormonal difficulties and who are under ongoing stress, and particularly women who are menopausal and post menopausal, the adrenals are critical for hormonal balance, management of sweats, hot flashes and ability to sleep deeply.

Insulin and leptin resistance is a core factor in adrenal and thyroid management.

Obesity, premature aging and systemic inflammation are driven by adrenal overload and inability to cope with stress in all its many forms.

There is STRONG evidence that cognitive issues from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to vascular dementia, brain fog, ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s and autism are closely related to low-grade inflammation in the brain and adrenal overload/burn-out.
