Your adrenal glands give you your get up and go – seriously! These small walnut sized glands ignite the fight or flight response when you are under stress either real or perceived. This fight or flight response creates a tremendous amount of energy in just seconds to help keep you – or someone you are protecting – alive. Your adrenal glands function well when they react and then rest. But these days, when stress has become a chronic condition, your adrenals are working nonstop. As a result, our health is showing the strain. Take our Adrenal Health Quiz and find out if your adrenals are sending out the signal that they are being used nonstop!
Stress taxes the adrenals forcing them to make a lot of the stress hormone cortisol, and over time, cortisol in large amounts stresses your body even further. Physical, environmental and emotional stress may all be coming in to play. Diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplements will all help bring your adrenals back into balance – and will help regain you energy, sleep better, and create the vitality you want!
