Adrenal Glands and Stress Management
We may not give much thought to our adrenal glands, but we should. That’s because the adrenal glands are incredibly important when it comes to keeping your body balanced and healthy. Sitting on top of each kidney, these tiny, triangular glands produce key hormones, including cortisol, which is vital for managing stress.
The Impact of Adrenal Function on Your Health
Stress can arise from many sources, such as:
- Adjusting to life with a new baby and sleep deprivation
- Workplace challenges and job-related pressures
- Injuries or overexertion
During these moments of heightened stress, your adrenal glands work overtime to produce cortisol, helping your body adapt to the situation. However, when stress becomes chronic, your adrenal glands may struggle to keep up, potentially leading to fatigue, sleep disturbances, concentration difficulties, and other health issues.
