System Support Remedy For the Adrenals Today’s saber tooth tigers consist of rush hour traffic, missing a deadline, bouncing a check or having an argument with our boss or spouse. There is rarely a physical threat that requires the need for that adrenaline rush, thereby satisfying the hormone signals. That makes modern day ‘fight or flight’ less physical and more psychological in nature, which makes us ignore, suppress, shut down or run away from the stresses we experience. You can imagine that this psychological effort makes the Adrenal gland an overwhelmed and depleted system for almost everyone living in the modern world. If the adrenals are allowed to become too dysfunctional, the result could be Cushings Syndrome (too much cortisol) or Addison’s disease (too little cortisol). When the Adrenals become depleted, here are the effects: blood sugar can’t regulate, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging (DHA/DHEA) responses are diminished, immune system suffers, heart and blood vessels hyperdilate, estrogen/progesterone and testosterone levels become unbalanced, antioxidants can’t be utilized and tissue repair suffers, and the central nervous system is over stimulated.
