There are four major players in the endocrine system: thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, sex hormones, and blood sugar metabolism. The first three are in a delicate balance where any movement in one affects the other, which is why many patients with thyroid issues are also experiencing adrenal problems.

Years ago, when I dealt with Graves’ disease, I knew stress could be a factor, but I assumed it wasn’t an issue for me. I felt I was good at handling the stress, so I was confident my adrenals would be fine. After doing testing, I realized that feeling like you’re managing the stress isn’t a sure sign that your adrenals are optimized.

Today, I’m excited to be joined by Naturopathic Doctor, speaker, author, and podcast host Dr. Erin Kinney. Dr. Kinney helps stressed-out patients improve their mood, balance their hormones, and increase their energy. She is incredibly passionate about teaching her patients to understand WHY stress causes so many problems in the body and HOW they can change their response to stress to regain control of their bodies and lives.

In this conversation, Dr. Kinney and I discuss her health journey and expertise in managing stress and adrenal health, the physiological process of our stress responses, the role of cortisol, the impact of chronic stress, testing for adrenal health, the connection between adrenal and thyroid problems, and the importance of diet, exercise, and stress management, and more. Enjoy the episode!
