Small, half-moon shaped adrenal glands residing on top of your kidneys produce the ‘fight and flight’ hormones which enable you to survive daily challenges. These hormones, in a crisis, enable your body to dilate blood vessels, increase your heart rate and facilitate all changes needed to address stressful situations. Healthy diet, daily relaxation and exercise, along with a peaceful nights sleep, enable the expended hormones to be regenerated.
For hundreds and thousands of years the body has evolved to use its adrenal hormones to both respond to stress and protect itself. These mechanisms were probably needed only occasionally in our distant ancestors lives. However, the modern woman with her physical, emotional and environmental stresses, challenges her adrenals relentlessly day after day. We could possibly experience more stressful events in a year than our ancestors experienced in a lifetime.
The downward spiral then begins as exhaustion, sugar and salt cravings, weight gain and PMS start to control our lives. Chronologically young, adrenal fatigue can make a woman feel like she is 90! Adrenal fatigue can be treated. Although often not reflected in traditional blood tests, the Total Woman Rejuvenation program includes a complete evaluation with a hormone panel to help us restore your healthy balance.
DHEA is a very important hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. It significantly contributes to the energy we need for our busy lives. DHEA levels often become depressed during adrenal fatigue.
Progesterone is also part of the adrenal cascade. Although produced in the ovaries, optimum functioning of the adrenals enables appropriate levels of progesterone to be maintained. With adrenal fatigue, sex hormone levels can also fall adding low libido to an already extensive list of symptoms.
In addition to supplementing deficient hormones, a customized plan addressing nutrition, caloric intake and exercise is created by physicians and nutritionists familiar with this condition. We provide close, personalized care to help your feel like yourself again.
