Adrenal Rehabilitation

Unlock the secrets of Adrenal Rehabilitation with simplified protocols and targeted support models. Dive into identifying underlying physiological mechanisms behind adrenal dysfunction. Explore potential barriers to rehabilitation, from anemia to emotional stress, and empower yourself with knowledge to overcome them. Discover how Divalent Metal Transporter 1 plays a role in iron regulation and toxic element absorption, shedding light on additional challenges in adrenal health.

Signs and Symptoms

Our Adrenal Stress Index can be helpful if you experience:

Chronic stress and stress-related health conditions
Fatigue or lack of energy
Anxiety or depression
Irritability or mood swings
Insomnia, sleep disturbances or difficulty waking
Difficulty losing weight
Poor memory or difficulty retaining information
Muscle and joint pain or weakness
Easy bruising or excessive stretch marks
Hypertension

Mechanisms that prevent adrenal rehabilitation:

The use of simplified protocols and models to support adrenal disorders are self-limiting. Adrenal dysfunction is always secondary to physiological mechanisms that need to be identified.¹

Portal Hypertension
Factors causing Adrenal Uncoupling
Anemia
Insulin Resistance
Low Cholesterol
Non-Resolving Immune Responses
Splanchnoptosis
Surgical Menopause
Dehydration
Adhesions
Chronic SSRI Usage
Emotional Stress
Autoimmune
Heavy Metal due to DMT1 up-regulation from inflammation/immune dysregulation
Environmental Antigen Burden

Divalent metal transporter (DMT1)

Absorption of non-heme iron is mediated by the divalent metal transporter (DMT1), among others. This transporter is up-regulated with low iron. Toxic elements such as share the same transporter, and it may be the reason that low iron predisposes humans to cadmium, mercury and lead toxicity.

Toxic elements can “piggy back” on the homeostatic mechanisms for iron regulation and can pose a second adverse consequence for the patient with either extremely high iron stores or the patient with iron deficiency. DMT1 mediates absorption of iron, manganese, cadmium, and lead and some toxic elements use transferrin as their carrier protein (e.g. aluminum).

Adrenal Deal Breaker

Anemia

If you are anemic. You should order Bio-Screen Sustain Max to determine which type of anemia causing your symptoms.

It is very difficult to improve adrenal/blood sugar patterns if the patient is anemic. Your Red blood Cells will not be able to deliver oxygen to mitochondria for ATP production and will be dependent upon glycolosis for energy production. Glycolosis is very inefficient and places great demands upon the blood sugar/adrenal stabilizing system.

Inflammation/Unresolving Immune Response

If your anemia is due to inflammation and/or bacterial infection use of iron supplements will increase bacterial growth, free radical production and an unresolving immune response. Do Not Use Iron Supplements in presence of inflammation.
