Very few people realize this but emotional and physical stress may lead to a decline in your health. Many people find their health spiraling out of control when they are confronted with a loss of a loved one, chronic stress from work or even the added stress of moving or switching environments.
When your adrenal glands become exhausted, your natural cortisol levels drop significantly. Cortisol is your naturally occurring stress hormone.
If you have adrenal gland fatigue, you may function reasonably well when your life is stable but fall apart if stress is added.
Symptoms of adrenal fatigue may include chronic fatigue, low blood pressure and low blood sugar, dizziness, headaches, anxiety or panic attacks, depression, low libido, infertility, and other equally debilitating reactions.
At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we prescribe naturally occurring, bio-identical cortisol, when indicated, to supplement declining levels that occur with aging, stress, chronic inflammatory conditions and allergic disorders.
Cortisol bolsters your immune system, increasing your resistance to infections and inflammation. Cortisol also promotes the assimilation of thyroid hormones and sex hormones by the cells of your body. Low levels of cortisol have been associated with lowered metabolism and a weakened immune system.
Additionally, the adrenal glands also produce dihydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and pregnenolone. DHEA enhances brain function, muscle tone and libido while pregnenolone is the building block of all the adrenal hormones and exerts a powerful effect on the brain, enhancing memory. Both of these hormones decline as we age and we may recommend their supplementation.
