Adrenal Dysfunction: Identifying & Addressing Chronic Stress and Hormonal Imbalance
What Is Adrenal Dysfunction?
Adrenal dysfunction occurs when the adrenal glands, which produce hormones essential for managing stress, energy, metabolism, and immunity, are unable to function optimally. Chronic stress or other health imbalances can disrupt cortisol and other adrenal hormone levels, impacting sleep, mood, and energy levels. Both men and women may experience adrenal imbalances that affect daily life and overall health, making it vital to identify and address adrenal dysfunction early to restore balance and resilience.
Symptoms of Adrenal Dysfunction
Adrenal dysfunction can cause a range of symptoms that may seem vague or overlap with other conditions, which makes an accurate diagnosis important. Common symptoms of adrenal imbalance include:
Chronic fatigue and low energy, even after restful sleep
Difficulty managing stress and feeling easily overwhelmed
Sleep disturbances such as insomnia or trouble staying asleep
Cravings for salt or sugar due to energy imbalances
Mood fluctuations like anxiety, irritability, or depression
Weight changes, especially in the abdominal area
Digestive issues like constipation or irregular bowel movements
Brain fog and difficulty focusing
Weakened immune response and frequent illness

Lifestyle choices have a significant impact on adrenal health. Our health coaching provides guidance on an adrenal-supportive diet, stress management techniques, and a balanced exercise routine designed to relieve stress on the adrenal glands and support natural recovery.
