Stress, Adrenal Fatigue

Most people are aware of the obvious forms of stress that affect the adrenal glands: constraining work schedules, driving in traffic, financial problems, marital problems, losing a job and the many other emotional and psychological challenges of modern life.
But other factors not commonly considered when people think of “stress” place just as much of a burden on the adrenal glands. These include blood sugar swings, gut dysfunction, food intolerances (especially gluten), chronic infections, environmental toxins, autoimmune problems and inflammation.
