What is Bio-Nutrition?
Bio-Nutrition is our unique wellness program utilizing the latest research, diagnostic labs, and nutrition protocols to provide you answers often missed by other medical approaches.
Stress and Your Health
In response to stress, your adrenal glands produce and regulate stress hormones such as Cortisol. Normally, when the stress dissipates, the glands have time to rest and recover, as well as, prepare for the next stressful event.
However, if your stress levels remain chronically high, such as in our demanding personal and professional schedules, your body will remain locked in a state of stress exhausting your Cortisol levels and diminishing your body’s ability to recover. This can lead to your adrenals becoming fatigued or “burned out”, resulting in an onset of symptoms such as:
- Weight struggles
- Fatigue
- Hormonal Imbalances
- GI Issues
- Depression
Inability to Lose Weight
Cortisol is a “glucocorticosteriod” and assists insulin in keeping your blood sugar stable. When cortisol is depleted your body will store fat instead of burning it leading to unwanted weight gain despite your exercise and diet attempts.
Fatigue
Cortisol is responsible for energy production. When your cortisol becomes low you lose the ability to feed your cells the energy required to function. This leads to fatigue and those mid-morning and afternoon “crashes”.
Hormone Imbalances
Cortisol is made from Progesterone so during high periods of stress your progesterone levels become depleted. This leads to infertility issues and PMS symptoms such as cramping, irritability, mood swings,and sweet cravings. Sex drive is also diminished.
In addition, the adrenal hormone DHEA is depleted and results in a drop of Estrogen. This leads to peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, memory problems, and mood swings.
GI Issues
High cortisol negatively affects the lining of your gut causing inflammation and leaky gut symptoms. As a result, you become more susceptible to bacterial and yeast overgrowth, as well as, parasitic infections. Bloating, constipation, heartburn and indigestion are common symptoms associated with a digestive tract affected by improper cortisol levels.
Depression
As a result of hormonal dysfunction due to cortisol imbalance, depression is likely to set in. Lack of energy and moods swings leave many women and men feeling helpless and hopeless. Serotonin, the calming brain neurotransmitter associated with depression, is actually primarily produced in the gut. As a result, when gut irritation occurs due to high cortisol levels, the cells that produce serotonin are compromised causing less of it to be produced. This results in depression symptoms.
