Hormone Deficiency and Adrenal Fatigue Newsletter

Font Size:

Hormone deficiency and adrenal fatigue go hand in hand. The adrenal glands, two almond sized glands that sit over the kidneys, are responsible for regulating the body’s response to stress by controlling the hormones released during stress. When stress becomes chronic or is not well managed, the adrenal glands are unable to function optimally. Cortisol is the main adrenal hormone and it is used to manage stress. The highest amount of cortisol is secreted by the adrenals in the morning to get us Alpha Males going, with levels decreasing throughout the day. The adrenals secrete cortisol in response to low blood sugar, stress, exercise, and excitement.
