Our adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system which act like “watch dogs” in their attempts to protect us and react when they perceive us in danger of any sort. They help us cope with emotional stress and physical stress The adrenals help us “adapt” and when they get overwhelmed by having to work too hard themselves, they fatigue and eventually reach a point where they become exhausted and are no longer able to regulate the hormones in our body.
