Stress of any kind can have a negative impact on the body and brain. The more chronic the stress the worse the symptoms that arise. Disrupting digestion, mood, hormones, testosterone depletion, sleep, appetite, energy levels, cognition and more.
If you are find you are dragging yourself throughout the day and have stress in the background from your work, or any area of your life then it’s worth conducting a hormone test. You can conduct a simple saliva test at home and have the results with you within 1 week. The test is £85.00 and measures cortisol throughout the day and DHEA – an anti ageing hormone and immune system IgA. If cortisol levels are higher when they should be lower than this could indicate the beginning stages of adrenal insufficiency. Which means the adrenal glands respond to stress but are always on hyperdrive. If cortisol levels are shown to be low, this is adrenal fatigue, where the adrenals no longer respond to stress.
So what to do with out of synch cortisol levels? The positive is this can be addressed with making changes to your diet and lifestyle.
