Blaming your ovaries for your perimenopause symptoms?
You may be surprised to learn that your adrenal glands play a major role in balancing your hormones during perimenopause.
Yes, it is true that your ovaries do the bulk of the work creating your major sex hormones
- estrogen
- progesterone
- and testosterone
– during the majority of your reproductive life. But those hormones are made from a precursor called pregnenolone. And guess what other organ uses pregnenolone – ding, ding, ding! Your adrenal glands use it to make adrenaline and cortisol (your stress hormones).
What do Your Adrenal Glands Have to Do With it?
For some women, the adrenals have enough reserve that they can make enough reproductive hormones to keep symptoms to a mild discomfort. However, when the adrenal glands are taxed by a high stress lifestyle they have difficulty producing the extra hormones.
In some cases the adrenals do not produce sex hormones at all but just make more stress hormones!
Dr. Marina Rose recommends a simple saliva test you can do at home to evaluate your adrenal function. She has helped many women in and around the city of Sunnyvale, CA to reduce their perimenopause symptoms quickly and easily.
Cause: some perimenopause symptoms are caused by poor adrenal function.
Solution: Nourishing the adrenal glands can assist your adrenals in making the hormones you need to aid perimenopause symptoms.
One of the best ways to understand the underlying nutritional cause of your symptoms is to know which foods and nutrients you have trouble digesting and those you are deficient in.
