Treating Adrenal Dysfunction with Functional Medicine

Treating Adrenal Dysfunction with Functional Medicine

Bion Healthcare can treat adrenal dysfunction with functional medicine. Your adrenal glands play a central role in your endocrine system when it comes to regulating and reacting to your body’s stress levels. When they are functioning properly, you are able to effectively accommodate and react to the day-to-day stresses that you encounter. However, if your adrenal glands are not functioning properly, it can affect your entire body negatively. As a result, you may experience adrenal dysfunction. Put simply, you feel more prone to mood swings when stress levels mount.

Our adrenal glands sit on top of our kidneys and are responsible for the secretion of cortisol that controls out fight and flight response, DHEA-S, aldosterone, and small amounts of sex hormones. When we are healthy and not experiencing excessive stress our adrenal glands remain balanced. Unfortunately, when we are under chronic stress or have an underlying chronic health issue our adrenal gland becomes stressed and we experience adrenal dysfunction.

Bion Healthcare can treat Adrenal Dysfunction with functional medicine. Treating Adrenal Dysfunction with functional medicine allows us to thoroughly explore disorders in the body. For example, in the use of functional medicine, we create a patient-specific plan that includes lab testing, diet, and lifestyle.
