Stress

The numbers don't lie: Overwork and burnout are symptoms that continue to increase and this phenomenon is also called  "the stress syndrome of the 21st century" named.

The acute stress response we used to need in nature to survive has given way to chronic stress. At the base of this hormonal stress response are our adrenal glands. 

In the interior of the adrenal gland (the adrenal medulla), the hormone adrenaline is produced while in the outer layers (the adrenal cortex) hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone are produced. These adrenal hormones are incredibly important to keep us healthy and feeling good. 

Due to too many blood sugar fluctuations, chronic stress and low-grade inflammation, this system is overloaded in many people these days. This can trigger all kinds of ailments and physical complaints.

I tell you all about the adrenal glands and their hormones. Symptoms of stress hormone imbalance, lab tests, causes and all the things you can do to restore balance are discussed in detail.

For whom? Anyone who wants to understand the hormonal stress system in detail and seeks solutions to stress causes that can lead to stress symptoms and even burnout (adrenal exhaustion).
