So, we've discovered "what" the "adrenal glands" are . . . and why they're so important to optimal health.
And the hormone they mainly produce is called "Cortisol" . . . the "STRESS" hormone and the "BELLY FAT PRODUCER".
We also discovered that as we "age" . . . our "adrenal glands" produce "LESS" hormones like . . . cortisol, estrogen and testosterone.
And with this . . . we see MORE abdominal fat!!!!
Which is called . . . "CORTISOL BELLY" . . .
Now . . . this "fat" is actually "VISCERAL FAT" . . . which is VERY dangerous to our health . . . because of its location near "vital organs"!!!
And "visceral fat" is known as "toxic fat" . . . due to it producing hormones and chemicals that can be harmful to the body.
You see . . . TOO MUCH "visceral fat" . . . can lead to . . .
Diabetes
Heart disease
Stroke
Colorectal cancer
and Breast cancer
So, what "causes" this ACTION of "adrenal exhaustion" to the body???
And how did things change in life . . . . after the "pandemic"???
Well . . . in the conventional world of medicine . . . "adrenal exhaustion" isn't actually considered a "medical condition" . . .
Which right there . . . IS THE FIRST PROBLEM my friends!!!
But . . . the biggest "stressor" in today's world . . . started with the "PANDEMIC"!!!
Leaving us with feelings of . . .
Uncertainty
Lack of routine
Reduced social support
And unfortunately . . . that "act" left an estimated 74% of the U.S. . . . suffering from "stress" leading to being overwhelmed or "unable to cope" with life as we NOW know it!!!
And with this . . . after the pandemic . . . "social anxiety" symptoms INCREASED . . . with symptoms like depression, loneliness and perceived stress, at an all time HIGH!!!
And even in today's world . . . many people are still experiencing symptoms like . . .
Overwhelming inflammation
Weakened immune system
Increase in blood pressure
Heart rate increases
Digestive issues
Nausea or vomiting
and muscle tension, especially in the neck shoulders and back
So . . . when the body is in "chronic stress" . . . like during and the "aftermath" of the "pandemic" . . .
OR . . . like I was with my arm and then "grief" . . .
The "adrenal glands" become "exhausted" . . . due to the body being "stressed out" and therefore . . . MORE Cortisol is needed to be produced to control that "stress" . . .
And with this . . . the "adrenal glands" have to work overtime to produce that hormone Cortisol . . . and they become "EXHAUSTED"!!!!
And when this happens . . . we see . . .
Fatigue
Weakness
Loss our appetite
Unexplained weight loss
Low blood pressure
Dizziness
Nausea
Abdominal pain
You see . . . this act can actually "SHUT DOWN" the immune system.
So, next question we need to ask is this . . . Can we reverse "adrenal fatigue" and "exhaustion"
And the answer . . . would be "yes" . . .
So, tomorrow . . . we'll talk about that . . .
