The adrenal glands are wedges of glandular and n

The adrenal glands are wedges of glandular and neuroendocrine tissue that sit at the top of the kidneys.
.

In humans, the right adrenal gland is triangular shaped, while the left adrenal gland is semilunar shaped.
.

The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body.
.

This allows them to mediate both a short-term stress response and a long-term stress response.
.

The adrenal gland consists of an outer cortex of glandular tissue and an inner medulla of nervous tissue. The cortex itself is divided into three zones: the zona glomerulosa, the zona fasciculata, and the zona reticularis.
.

Each region secretes its own set of hormones.
.

The adrenal cortex—the outer layer of the gland—produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens. .

The adrenal medulla at the core of the gland produces adrenaline and noradrenaline. .

These hormones control a variety of functions including kidney function, metabolism, fight-or-flight response, nutrient uptake and storage, fluid and electrolyte balance, inflammation, and sex hormone levels.
.

The hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal (HPA) axis is our central stress response system. The adrenals are often ‘following orders’ acting under the direction of the central nervous system and brain.
.

Understanding the upstream factors that can impact hormone function and the strategies for balancing these issues can be a game changer for your health and healing.

The stress response is primarily governed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
.

Incoming sensory messages are screened by the limbic system in the mid-brain. If these messages are recognised as stressful (e.g. neurotransmitter or blood sugar imbalance, nutrient deficiency, inflammation), the hypothalamus signals the pituitary to stimulate the adrenals to release hormones such as cortisol to maintain homoeostasis.
.

These three parts of the HPA axis work together to regulate functions such as stress response, mood, digestion, immune system, drive, metabolism and energy levels.
.

The physiochemical responses of the HPA axis can also triggered by non-physical events. Grief, excitement, fear, anxiety, guilt, embarrassment — all can trigger a HPA axis response.
.

HPA axis activation occurs when corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is secreted from the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus which then stimulates the synthesis of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
.

ACTH then stimulates the release of glucocorticoids (cortisol) from the adrenal gland, which induces metabolic effects.
.

One of cortisol’s main jobs is blood sugar management, it also influences your circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycles). HPA dysregulation influences our sleep quality, mental clarity, energy levels, resilience, weight management, just to name a few.
.

Addressing the underlying drives can be a game changer for your health and healing.

Got stress? Even if it is simmering in the background, stress needs to be addressed in order to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. 💫
.

Over the next several posts, I’m going to share how the stress response system influences a person’s health and healing.
.

Stress can be emotional, psychological, environmental, or chemically induced.
They can be be actual, imagined and/or anticipated stress. 😱
.

The fight or flight response, is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. 💥
.

The initiation of this response begins when sensory nerve cells pass the perception of a threat, or stress, from the environment (internal or external) to the hypothalamus in the brain. This transmit a signal to the pituitary gland inciting cells there to release a chemical messenger into the blood stream.
.

Simultaneously, the hypothalamus transmits a nerve signal down the spinal cord. Both the chemical messenger and nerve impulse travel to the same destination, the adrenals.
.

This stress response has two pathways which act in parallel. .

1. The first is the sympathetic response, which triggers the release of adrenaline from the medulla of the adrenal gland.

2. The second involves the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal, or HPA, axis, and triggers the release of cortisol from the cortex of the adrenal gland.
.

With the continuation of this response, the hormones cortisol and adrenaline/noradrenaline are released into the blood stream where they continue the signalling cascade in several cell types, such as in an increase in blood pressure, increase in blood sugar levels, and suppression of the immune system.
.

Don’t be fooled by the size of these alchemy blends that generate incredible energy flow. They have been specifically formulated to work with the new Five Element BioEnergetics protocols I will be teaching this weekend. As these blends are substance and energetic medicines which are topically applied to the acupuncture points and channels, they can serve as multiple modalities (acupuncture energetics as well as herbal). #kinesiology #alchemy #botanical #herbalmedicine #essentialoils
