Here are additional conditions we treat.
Adrenal Fatigue
Your adrenal glands produce many of the hormones your body uses. One of these hormones is cortisol. Cortisol is your body’s main ‘stress hormone’. Cortisol helps your body prepare for a fight or flight response in the short term. If you continually release cortisol due to stress, the long-term consequences cause serious health implications. If your adrenal glands have been activated for too long, they run out of steam and cannot release hormones when needed.
