Adrenal System Health

Meaning

The optimal functional status of the adrenal glands, encompassing the balanced secretion of steroid hormones like cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens. This delicate endocrine equilibrium is essential for maintaining physiological resilience, managing stress responses, and regulating metabolism, immune function, and blood pressure. A healthy adrenal system signifies a robust capacity to adapt to physical and psychological stressors without succumbing to chronic fatigue or hormonal dysregulation. Clinical assessment often focuses on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis integrity and the diurnal rhythm of cortisol release.
