Deep dives
Understanding Adrenal Dysfunction
Adrenal dysfunction, as discussed, differs from the concept of adrenal fatigue by recognizing a more nuanced understanding of the body's hormonal response to stress. The adrenals typically produce necessary hormones, but prolonged stress can create a miscommunication between the brain and the adrenals, leading to symptoms like fatigue and insomnia. This condition is scientifically backed by the idea of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) dysfunction. Acknowledging that adrenal dysfunction exists is crucial, as many healthcare professionals still reject the concept, despite significant research supporting it.
