The Diagnosis: Acute Stress Induced Adrenal Fatigue
Your adrenal glands secrete hormones and neurotransmitters that help us deal with stress. When we are subjected to an overwhelming or unrelenting stressful situation, the glands can “fatigue” and we will experience the symptoms mentioned above. A take-home saliva test can measure Cortisol, DHEA, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone and Melatonin levels. Adrenal Fatigue can cause an imbalance in all of these.
The Treatment
Once the specific imbalances are identified, we can supplement with prohormones and nutraceuticals to help bring the body back into balance and help support and heal the adrenal glands.
