Adrenal hormones, thyroid health, pancreas and body fat:
Cortisol, the main adrenal hormone, is a “glucocorticosteroid.” In other words, one of cortisol’s major functions is to work with insulin to keep your blood sugar stable.
If cortisol is out of balance your body will store body fat rather than burn fat for fuel easily.
When your cortisol is out of balance you have what we call a “damaged metabolism” meaning your normal fat burning mechanism is broken.
If you skip a meal, eat too many carbs, eat sweets or over eat, your cortisol will be out of balance and you’ll damage your metabolism.
The adrenals, thyroid, and pancreas work together to maintain a balanced and healthy metabolism. We can identify and correct imbalances in these three key metabolic players, and fix your broken metabolism using tests such as an adrenal stress profile.
