"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and the prevention of disease."

The Missing Link?
How have you been doing so far on your resolutions for 2010? If you have honestly tried to exercise regularly and make better food choices, but the scale remains unfriendly, it may be that you have a problem with your adrenal glands. Oftentimes, people are working out five or more times per week and are practically starving themselves, yet they can’t seem to shake those extra pounds. You’ve heard that you’re supposed to burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight, right? So what gives?
The adrenal glands secrete a hormone known as cortisol. In addition to regulating your body’s response to stress, this chemical helps keep your blood sugar normalized. Since excess sugar is converted to fat for storage, an oversecretion of cortisol has been linked to weight gain. The body produces cortisol in response to physical and emotional stress as well as “starvation,” so if you’re exercising heavily, skipping meals to try to get those pounds to melt away sooner, and dealing with stress in your life (who isn’t?), it is likely your adrenal glands are in trouble. Other signs that could indicate adrenal dysfunction are the following: 1). CHRONIC PAIN 2). DIFFICULTY SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT 3). FATIGUE 4). CRAVING FOR FOODS (PARTICULARLY SWEETS) 5). FEELING LIKE YOU’RE ALWAYS HUNGRY

At ABC Wellness & Rehab, we can assess the function of your adrenal glands via a simple saliva test. Of course, allergies to foods can make your system sluggish, thereby decreasing your metabolism and resulting in weight gain, so allergy testing and dietary analysis may be indicated as well.
