Adrenal dysfunction often arises from chronic stress. Chronic stress is a silent killer. It can wreak havoc on every single system of the body, especially our hormonal pathways. When the adrenal glands do not work effectively, the result is either feeling ‘wired and tired’ or chronic debilitating fatigue. By taking a functional approach, we can identify adrenal dysfunction and provide support to prevent or address the symptoms and longer-term consequences.
Stress is often described as a silent killer. Its effects on hormone health are profound. Chronic stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which, when imbalanced, can disrupt many systems of the body, including our sex hormones and thyroid function. Adrenal dysfunction, although not widely recognised in conventional medicine, is a real phenomenon where the adrenal glands struggle to keep up with the demands of prolonged stress.
When the adrenal glands are overworked, symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, disrupted sleep, and mood swings become prevalent. Chronic stress can also shift the balance of progesterone and oestrogen, leading to PMS, irregular cycles, and heightened anxiety. Understanding how your body handles stress is crucial for restoring balance.
Through lifestyle adjustments, targeted nutrition, and adrenal support strategies, you can rebuild your body’s resilience to stress. Imagine feeling calm, clear-headed, and energised, even during life’s most demanding moments. Addressing adrenal health is the foundation for restoring balance and vitality.
