Adrenal Dominance Influence

Meaning

The Adrenal Dominance Influence is a state where the adrenal glands’ primary output, specifically cortisol, exerts a disproportionate or primary control over the body’s overall hormonal and metabolic equilibrium. This influence often manifests as chronic stress response patterns overriding the delicate balance of other endocrine axes, such as the thyroid or gonadal systems. Clinical assessment frequently reveals a Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivity that dictates systemic physiological adaptation. It is a concept describing a pattern of endocrine dysregulation rather than a specific disease entity.
