Adrenal dysfunction can be caused by synthetic steroids. Our psyche also has a huge influence on their work.
Stress , especially chronic stress , puts a lot of stress on the adrenal glands as they are forced to release cortisol, the stress hormone, in excess. After a while, they are so exhausted that they begin to produce less and less of it. This is a hostile phenomenon , since cortisol is important for our body.

Cortisol affects the central nervous system: its abundance , like its deficiency , affects the personality of a person. If the adrenal glands are forced to produce more cortisol, this moment disrupts the work of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
When there is a lack of concentration of this hormone in our body, we have a problem with sleep , our mood worsens , and the development of manias and phobias is possible. Paired with a lot of stress are often experienced by many people sleep problems.
How to take care of your adrenal glands
- We take care of the appropriate amount of antioxidants ( vegetables and fruits) in the diet that affect neurotransmitters and hormones.
- We'll have breakfast as soon as we wake up.
- We don't eat standing up.
- We eat five times a day to avoid fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
- We drink water.
- We take care of the delivery of B vitamins ( cereals , dry legumes , nuts) and vitamin C.
- Finding the right time to sleep.
- We spend time in the sun. The time of the day , at which it is more intense , we choose for a 10-minute walk.
Even a small family quarrel puts a lot of stress on our adrenal glands when we or overwhelmed by responsibilities. Remember that the weekend is a time meant for relaxation.
After a large dose of stress, take care of yourself for 2-3 days. Always after the end of the training cycle organized by me for patients , I was very tired. Since the master classes brought inexpressible pleasure , this fact always surprised me. I couldn't figure out why I'm so tired? Still, our adrenal glands, every time after an intense load , even bringing joy and satisfaction , require at least one day of rest to return to balance and a large dose of serotonin.
After each stress, the adrenal glands need 24-48 hours of rest to stabilize the hormones.
It is worth remembering:
- Our eyes need beautiful views.
- Our ears need pleasant sounds.
- We need comfortable smells and taste sensations.
- We need a sense of calm and a friendly atmosphere at home and at work.
- We return to memories and impressions.
- We sing , we dance , we play.
- We try to be nice , good-natured , helpful.
- We laugh as much as we can.
- Physical contact with lovers has an incredible effect. A gentle touch , especially on the erogenous zones , leads to an increase in the concentration of oxytocin , which has a relaxing effect , gives a feeling of peace and satisfaction.
The feeling of happiness will provide an appropriate level of serotonin , which has an excellent effect on the adrenal glands.
The effect of serotonin on human emotions is most noticeable when we are in love. Scientists have proven that the concentration of this hormone in lovers increases even by 200%, but when the beloved is not around and we begin to yearn , the level of serotonin decreases. Therefore, lovers have such an emotional swing , when they are overwhelmed by a series of conflicting feelings - from euphoria to chagrin.
