Your Adrenal glands produce a stress hormone called Cortisol. It triggers the fight flight response, raises your blood pressure and blood sugar ready for action, supresses your immune system and inflammation, and keeps you awake at night. If elevated long term it also results in death of brain cells in the Hippocampus – the part of the brain responsible for memory. It is released in response to any stressful situation from traffic, to arguments with your kids, to financial issues, to eating foods that are wrong for your body or having overgrowth of bacteria or parasites in your gut.
Long term stress results in chronically elevated cortisol and the symptoms mentioned above.
Eventually the adrenals can no longer sustain this high cortisol output and begin to fatigue. Now cortisol drops too low and you begin to feel tired in the morning, flat and unmotivated, irritable and easily overwhelmed by even small amounts of stress, and have increasing levels of pain and inflammation in your body.
To overcome adrenal fatigue, its essential to remove the stress that drained the adrenals in the first place.
This means eliminating bacterial or parasitic overgrowth in the gut, cleaning up your diet, introducing daily relaxation, becoming aware of and then modifying toxic responses to life situations. Then we must provide the nutrients the adrenals need to flourish.It takes time and effort but it’s possible to rebuild the adrenals and create health and balance once again.
