Adrenal Fatigue & Its Symptoms

Adrenal Fatigue Its Symptoms
Dr. Peter Dobie

Adrenal glands are a vital part of our body and
these functions to keep us fresh, focused and
provide a support to energy levels of our body
all through the day. The adrenal glands might
stop working properly, when they have to
constantly produce high levels of
cortisol.   Stress hormones are immediately
produced by adrenal glands whenever they get
signals from a wide range of stressors each day.
Our adrenal glands start working due to various
physical and psychological reasons such as
emotional stress, stressful work hours, family
responsibilities, financial problems,
relationship issues, extreme dieting and lack of
proper sleep.

After the adrenal glands become active, they
start generating different hormones like cortisol
and adrenaline in small and required amount. This
affects our bodys short-term response to stress
and minimises the ability of glands to produce
and balance other hormones such as testosterone,
DHEA and progesterone. Its important to note
that these hormones are considered as quite
important for our overall health.
