Adrenal Stress
The biggest symptoms of adrenal stress are the followings:
1. Inability to lose weight
"Glucocorticoid", known as Cortisol, is a main adrenal hormone. Its major function is to keep your blood sugar stable by working with insulin. if your cortisol output is not in balance, your body will tend to store body fat easily rather than burn fat for fuel. If you skip a meal, overeat, and eat too many sugary or starchy foods, your cortisol secretion will be out of balance and your entire metabolic system will be skewed. We can test and support correct your cortisol output and fix your skewed metabolism with an adrenal stress test.

2. Fatigue
The most common cause for fatigue is adrenal exhaustion or adrenal burnout beside anemia. If you have a long-term period of stress, your cortisol production becomes depleted. There are three types of main stress, which are from emotion, diet, and pain/inflammation. A lot of people have all of them. If you have long term fatigue we can test and help correct your cortisol levels with an adrenal stress test and bring your energy levels back to normal with a lab based supplement program.

3. Depression
Now we know, from scientific researches, that when the ration of Cortisol and DHEA is out of balance we often become depressed. (DHEA is another adrenal hormone.)

4. Female Hormonal Imbalance
Progesterone is a precursor of cortisol. In other words, progesterone is transformed into cortisol. If you are under more stress, you need to produce more cortisol, which leads to depleting your progesterone levels. If your overwhelming stress keeps ongoing, the more female hormone imbalances would occur as your progesterone levels drop. One of the biggest cause of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a decreased progesterone level as either absolute or relative to estrogen level. Peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms are mainly caused by a drop in estrogen. Estrogen is coming from DHEA, which is another major adrenal hormone. So if you are stressed out for a sustained period, your female hormone is likely to become more out of balance. If we test and support to correct your cortisol and DHEA levels, your female hormone related symptoms will improve significantly.

5. Gastro-Intestinal Problems
We have tons of immune cells that line on the inside wall of our digestive tract. Those immune cell are largely controlled by cortisol. Therefore, if your cortisol is out of balance for a long period, you become prone to develop digestive problems, such as heartburn, bloating, constipation or diarrhea. When cortisol is getting depleted, the digestive system starts to react poorly to some common foods, which leads to increase a risk of proliferation micro-organism, such as Candida or opportunistic bacterias. If you start an anti-inflammatory diet and eliminate certain pro-inflammatory foods, such as gluten, then correct your cortisol levels, we can help your digestive system to heal for a better function.
