FREE Hormones and Why Stress Matters at Anoka Yoga and Wellness (Anoka Soul Studio)

Society places a badge of honor on those who are over-committed and upholding a busy life. With continual outside pressure, the adrenal glands have to work overtime to make enough stress hormones to sustain the perpetual cycle.

Our bodies struggle to balance the increased levels of adrenaline and cortisol in the bloodstream. In return, the body responds by increasing the production of balancing hormones with opposing energies (ie. estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA).

This strains our adrenal glands and ovaries. Eventually, our bodies simply can’t keep up with the demand. The endocrine system then gives signals that something is off. The most common symptoms of adrenal imbalance:

  • Weight loss or weight gain
  • Increased menopausal, perimenopausal, or PMS symptoms
  • Decreased energy
  • Cravings for sugary or salty foods
  • Digestive distress
  • High or low blood pressure
  • Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or moody
  • Decreased concentration and brain fog
  • Compromised immunity
  • Problems sleeping
  • Decreased libido
  • Inability to slow down

Our Focus for Discussion:

    • Defining adrenals
    • Understanding hormones
    • Exploring the relationship between estrogen and progesterone
    • Cortisol: the good, the bad, and the ugly
    • Increase understanding of actions and experiences and how they affect hormones
