STRESS HORMONES AND YOUR ADRENAL GLANDS
The adrenal glands are endocrine organs located just above your kidneys, which produce and regulate the hormones cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. These stress hormones help the body process carbs, metabolize fat and protein, and control inflammation. Maintaining adrenal health is vital to supporting your body’s stress response. Whether stress is mental, physical, daily, or occasional, this mechanism allows you to adapt to a situation by heightening your senses and response time.
When stressors abate, production of stress hormones returns to normal, and the body begins to repair itself. However, if perpetual stress is experienced, or perceived, adrenal fatigue can occur. An overstimulated adrenal system could lead to exhaustion, weakened immune function, and even weight gain.
