Description

Your adrenal glands are the frontline of your body’s stress response—and when they’re overworked, your whole endocrine system feels it. In this video, we break down how the adrenals, pituitary, and hypothalamus work together (the HPA axis), and what happens when chronic stress throws this system off balance.

You’ll learn:
✔️ What the adrenal glands do
✔️ Symptoms of adrenal dysfunction and chronic overstimulation
✔️ How the body adapts to ongoing stress and cortisol demand
✔️ Differences between adrenal issues vs. pituitary or hypothalamus imbalance
✔️ How adrenal stress affects DHEA, testosterone, and estrogen

We’ll cover the key signs your adrenals are struggling—fatigue, sleep disruption, cravings, mood swings—and how to understand what your body is trying to tell you.
