Stress and Cortisol

Stress and Cortisol

You may be aware of the hormonal fluctuations that occur in menopause but don’t see the connection between adrenal health and menopause.  

When stressed, either physically or emotionally, the adrenals will release adrenaline and Cortisol to moderate stress.  

When a woman in menopause also has chronic stress, Cortisol production can be in excess, and she may experience adrenal fatigue.  This can result in cravings for sweet or salty foods, weight gain, or stubborn pounds that won’t go away, even with diet and exercise. 

Without the support of a healthy adrenal system, menopausal symptoms can be more pronounced and make life miserable. 

Caffeine-Fueled Lives Don't Promote Energy and The Medical Perspective

Caffeine-Fueled Lives Don’t Promote Energy

Women facing the combination of menopause and hectic lives often feel tired. 

Many think they need caffeine in their morning coffee, energy drinks at lunch, and mid-afternoon lattes just to keep going.  These stimulants make the adrenal glands work even harder, and though there may be a temporary lift in energy, in the long run it won’t last.  

The delicate adrenal system was not meant to run on high speed at all times.  Supporting adrenal health can help provide a solid foundation for easing menopausal symptoms.

The Medical Perspective

This is a big money maker for the Medical Profession as it always seems to involve lots of treatment and medications and referrals to other practitioners. You can certainly go that route, and eventually you may be offered the opportunity to have a partial or complete hysterectomy, or told you just have to learn to live with it and it will eventually go away.  Those seem to be all they can offer you. 

Your Solution

A Healthy Diet and Nutritional Support

Stress on the adrenal system can come from many sources, and menopause is definitely one of them.  

You may appreciate the guidance of Dr. Huntoon to help you make a smoother passage through this natural stage of life.  By reviewing your eating habits, Dr. Huntoon can suggest healthy alternatives to foods that aren’t friendly to your waistline.  We can also look into how much sugar, caffeine, and processed foods you are consuming since all of these can affect mood and stress levels.  

For some, you may choose to eat smaller meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar levels and energy more even.  

Dr. Huntoon can also recommend nutritional supplements that help to support the physiology, function and nutritional needs of the adrenal glands.
