Patients Medical offers comprehensive testing for an abnormal presence of namely cortisol in the body. According to the theory of adrenal fatigue, this condition causes an overproduction of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which negatively impacts the nervous system and leads to symptoms such as chronic tiredness, sleeping impairment, low blood sugar levels, difficulty concentrating, depressed mood, and anxiety.
As the practice explains, adrenal fatigue can arise from prolonged periods of excessive stress, infections, or taking certain medications. The condition, however, is reversible. Reducing stress, improving sleep habits, and making changes that create a less sedentary everyday lifestyle can promote healthy adrenal gland function.
Patients Medical is home to physicians of varying specializations, including internists, nutritionists, and family practitioners, who use a combination of conventional medicine and naturopathic techniques. If a patient’s testing reveals an unhealthy amount of cortisol in the body, the practice’s physicians can work with the patient to create a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle and dietary changes, stress-alleviating methods, and nutrient supplementation.
