Stress, Hormones, and Hashimoto's
Manage episode 361215090 series 3468998
In this episode, we discuss how stress affects your health and explore adrenal-related stress signs. These signs include fatigue, slow mornings, afternoon energy crashes, cravings for sweets, caffeine, or nicotine, unstable behavior, moodiness, and dizziness when changing positions.
We also talk about how chronic stress can sabotage efforts to manage hypothyroidism and how stress can result from various factors like blood sugar imbalances, infections, or autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's.
A simple saliva adrenal stress test can help measure cortisol levels and provide insights into your adrenal health. We discuss how cortisol should be high in the morning and low at night, but for many people, it's reversed, causing fatigue in the morning and insomnia at night.
By analyzing your saliva adrenal stress test results, we can create a personalized health protocol to improve your adrenal health. We also explore how stress can impact your immune system over time, potentially causing food intolerances, infections, and weakened immunity.
Finally, we touch on the importance of blood sugar stability in managing stress and its symptoms. To get started on improving your stress management and overall quality of life, consider contacting our office to request a saliva adrenal stress test kit.
Join us in this important conversation about stress, blood sugar, cortisol levels, and how we can help you return to the best version of yourself.
