Stress Management

The primary role of your adrenal glands is to produce hormones that control stress, sex hormones and neurotransmitters. These hormones and neurotransmitters regulate your metabolism and communicate with other organs, like your brain, kidneys, and reproductive system. However, chronic stress can cause your adrenal glands to release insufficient amounts of these necessary hormones and excess amounts of cortisol. Over time, high levels of cortisol can lead to insulin resistance, weaken your immune system, and eventually cause muscle wasting.

Using complete hormone panel testing, we will be able to assess how well your adrenal glands are functioning. We use dietary protocols and supplements to support your adrenal health and return your energy level to normal.

If you eat the right foods, you can help your body cope with stress and you will actually feel less stressed which will help you deal with your stress better!! Do you see what I’m saying here?? It’s all interconnected. Go to Main Line Integrative Nutrition for your complete hormone panel test!!
