What Are the Adrenal Glands—and Why Do They Matter?
Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and produce key hormones like cortisol, DHEA, and adrenaline. These hormones help your body manage stress, regulate energy, control inflammation, and maintain blood pressure. When you're under constant stress—emotional or physical—your adrenal system can become imbalanced or fatigued.
This condition is often referred to as adrenal fatigue, though it may also show up as mild to moderate adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms may include:
- Constant fatigue, even after rest
- Cravings for salt or sugar
- Difficulty waking up in the morning
- Feeling “wired but tired” at night
- Brain fog or poor focus
- Low stress tolerance or frequent overwhelm
Our goal is to support your body’s ability to recover and rebuild naturally, without masking the symptoms.

Then we create a personalized care plan focused on restoring balance and resilience.
