Suffering from menopausal symptoms?
You are much more likely to if your adrenals are depleted. The adrenal glands should gradually be able to take over hormonal production from the ovaries during perimenopause as long as they are not depleted.
One of the signs of adrenal depletion is sleep issues. Do you find it difficult to fall asleep? Fall asleep but wake up in the middle of the night? Sleep soundly but wake up exhausted?
Other common symptoms of adrenal fatigue include:
fatigue with intermittent “crashes” throughout the day
poor stress response and mood regulation
brain fog
increased energy levels in the evenings
cravings for salty and sweet foods
overuse of caffeine and other stimulants
a compromised immune system
poor circulation
How stress affects the adrenals?
Our adrenal glands are small organs located above both kidneys.
One of the hormones the adrenals produce is cortisol. Cortisol regulates blood pressure, blood sugar, metabolism, the inflammatory response, and immune function.
When you are stressed, the adrenals release greater amounts of cortisol. Adrenal problems start when many different life stresses become too much for the body to handle. Life stresses can be anxiety or emotional stresses such as grief or trauma.
Adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenals have become overused by excess cortisol release. The adrenals can no longer produce levels of cortisol necessary for optimal body function.
The adrenal glands, if they are working well, are designed to produce hormones that allow you to respond to the conditions of your daily life in healthy and flexible ways.
