This keeps you in that ‘Fight or Flight’ which can affect your metabolism, digestion, hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, sleep and the list goes on.

Stress does not currently seem to be interfering with your health. However, everyone’s stress levels fluctuate.
Possible Adrenal over-load
Stress could be an underlying problem to your health issues and could be overworking your adrenal glands, which could be throwing many other bodily functions out of balance.
Likely Adrenal fatigue/Exhaustion
Stress is definitely depleting your adrenal glands and could definitely be at the root of your problem. Constant stress will throw your hormones, metabolism and chemical brain messengers out of balance and be the root cause of your health problem.
To accurately measure Your Stress Response and Cortisol Overload a 24-Hour Saliva Test is recommended that uses 4 saliva samples to measure cortisol and DHEA, as well as, other hormones as needed.
Common stresses that overwork the adrenal glands are:
1. Loss of job or career change.
2. Death in the family.
3. Sick or dependent children or parents
4. Financial obligations.
5. Stressful relationships at home or work.
6. Always on the run.
7. Not enough sleep and rest.
8. Too much exercise.
9. Blood sugar imbalances.
10. Digestive difficulties.
Important Note: If you are experiencing 6 or more symptoms, we highly recommend accessing adrenal function with the 24 Hour Saliva Test to determine how depleted and exhausted your adrenal glands may be.
Everyone’s level of stress is different – as is their Stress Response. Maybe Your Stress Response is more depleted than you think.
