Episode 8 - The one all about the Adrenal Glands

In today's episode of Fiercely Unfixed we will be diving into all things Adrenal Glands!  What are Adrenal Glands you ask?  Adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions. When adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones, this can lead to adrenal insufficiency  When adrenal glands produce too much hormone it can cause chaos in the body due to the increase in hormone production This episode will provide you with  - Anatomy and Physiology recap of the adrenal glands  - What hormones are secreted - How stress plays a role  - Understanding what is overproduction and underproduction of adrenal gland hormones  - The need for testing (what type of testing should you do)  - Myth busting  As always you can find us on social media  @sammie.functionalhealth @lauren.hawkey
