Adrenal function and stress
Stress plays a huge role in affecting hormone imbalance and how the adrenal gland functions in men.
Fight or flight, then exhaustion
Cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine are produced by the adrenal glands. In times of stress, cortisol is released promoting a fight or flight response. If a prolonged period of stress occurs, adrenal function in men becomes exhausted — and in extreme cases cortisol may not be released.
Above all, the adrenal glands strongly depend on the functions of the thyroid, liver, pituitary and reproductive organs. It is important to have the functionality of your internal systems assessed and diagnosed.
