Hormonal Imbalance

The Effects of Hormonal Imbalances

1. Energy Production
Abnormal adrenal function can alter the ability of cells to produce energy for activities of daily living. People who have a hard time getting up in the morning, those who suffer from energy slumps during the day (and may even be tired all the time), often have abnormal adrenal hormone rhythms.

2. Muscle and Joint
Abnormal adrenal rhythms are known to compromise tissue healing. Reduced tissue repair and increased tissue breakdown can lead to muscle and joint injury and chronic pain.

3. Bone Health
Adrenal rhythm determines how well we build bone. If night and morning cortisol levels are too high, bones do not rebuild well and are more prone to osteoporosis.

4. Immune System Health
Various immune cells (white blood cells) cycle in and out of the spleen and bone marrow for special conditioning and possible nourishment and instruction. This immune system trafficking follows the cortisol cycle. If the cycle is disrupted, especially at night, then the immune system is adversely affected.

5. Sleep Quality
The ability to enter REM sleep cycles, i.e. regenerative sleep, is interrupted by high cortisol values at night and in the morning. Chronic lack of REM sleep can reduce the mental vitality and vigor of a person and induce depression.

6. Skin Regeneration
Human skin regenerates mostly during the night. With higher night cortisol values, less skin regeneration takes place. So, a normal cortisol rhythm is essential for optimal skin health.

7. Thyroid Function
The level of cortisol at the cell level controls thyroid hormone production. Quite often, hypothyroid symptoms such as fatigue and low body temperature are due to adrenal mal-adaptation, menopause, andropause, osteoporosis, sex hormone imbalance, and heart health.
