The Adrenal Glands: Why They Matter for Your Health
Wondering what your adrenal glands are and how they impact your health?
Your adrenals sit atop your kidneys and play a crucial role in your body’s stress response. These small but powerful glands consist of two parts: the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla.
- The adrenal medulla releases hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine).
- The adrenal cortex produces cortisol, aldosterone, and DHEA, which regulate stress, metabolism, and more.
Together, these hormones help your body manage stress—but they don’t distinguish between good and bad stress. In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress can overwork your adrenals, leading to a range of symptoms.
Signs of adrenal stress include:
- Fatigue
- Migraines
- Muscle & joint pain
- Low energy & body temperature
- Trouble sleeping
- Brain fog & poor memory
- Decreased libido
Feeling off? These could be signs that your adrenals need support.
