Adrenal Disorder
The triangle shaped
organs that rest on top of the kidneys are the adrenals. The
adrenal glands operate in concert with the hypothalamus and
pituitary, which regulate metabolism and physical functions. The
three work closely together and are known as the HPA axis.
Disruptions in one organ throws off the usual operation of other
glands.
An adrenal response occurs with psychological,
emotional, environmental and infectious stress. Prolonged stress
can trigger unfavorable effects in the body that can progress to
chronic disease states.
The medulla secrets adrenaline and norepinephrine to help the body
handle stress by escalating metabolism. The cortex is
in charge for maintaining the body's balance, regulating sugar
metabolism, and a complex array of steroid hormones such as
cortisone, DHEA, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone.
Adrenal function is impaired by long term cortico-steroid drug
use, as these will cause the adrenals to shrink.
It is possible to have adrenal fatigue and not
know it. The fatigue can be covered up by constantly
drinking coffee, or any drink with caffeine. One of my customers
would not address the issue, and developed onset diabetes.
If you lead a high stress life, and need 5 cups of coffee just to
get started in the morning. Get checked, it doesn't
hurt it is a saliva test.
