Are Your Adrenals Acting Up?

Lack of energy, blood sugar imbalances, low immunity are some of the symptoms of an Adrenal Gland acting up.
Dr. Yim talks about adrenals that are hyper or hypo, turned around and just plane tuckered out. The fall out of chronic stress is a taxed adrenal gland, Dr Yim gives practical and understandable information on how they get that way and what you can do to rebuild adrenals that have been overworked
The body has systems that work together, if one gets out of balance the whole body is impacted. Even the break down of wastes (metabolites) can be negatively impacted by tired out adrenals.
Steroid hormones start with cholesterol. Cortisol needs cholesterol. Naturopathic medicine likes getting to the cause and one of the tests Dr. Yim uses is new to the clinic.
