Are Your Adrenals Burned Out?

Strong Body, Strong Mind!

We need to have a strong core in order to heal our minds.

It's amazing to me that after all of the test I have had no one mentioned anything about adrenals. Tonight's blog is a little lesson on your adrenal gland. It's amazing how this little gland can impact your stress/anxiety and depression.

The Adrenal Gland
Located on top of each of your kidneys, this round gland is approximately 3-4 inches in diameter. This gland is responsible for secreting the hormones adrenalin, noradrenalin. It produces norephinephrine, cortisol, and cortisone, aldosterone, testosterone, progesterone, pregnenelone, DHEA, and estrogens.
Problems from the Adrenal Gland:
· Cushing's Disease
· Addison's Disease
· Adrenal Burnout

For our group I am focusing on Adrenal Burnout, it is the most relative to our condition. Great news is that Adrenal Burnout can be corrected. Now, you can stop worrying.
