When it comes to hormone health I am very passionate about helping you figure out the root cause of endocrine imbalances. Having healed my own auto-immune hyper- thyroid “dis-ease,” I have learned the most effective strategies to restoring your health.
A great place to start restoring hormone imbalances is to begin with the Adrenal glands. When the adrenal glands are not functioning optimally, you may develop adrenal fatigue, or adrenal exhaustion. Adrenal fatigue often develops after periods of intense or lengthy physical or emotional stress, when overstimulation of the adrenal glands leave them unable to meet your body’s needs.
At your initial visit, we will determine if you may have an adrenal insufficiency. The best test to verify the health of your adrenal glands is the Adrenal Stress Index (ASI). This test uses saliva obtained periodically throughout the day. It is a marker for adrenal health and will help to determine if you need adrenal support.
