50 + Ailments of Adrenaline Dominance

Adrenaline dominance plays a direct role in the disruption of health and the promotion of over fifty common conditions...

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DYSREGULATION

This category contains some of the most common symptoms people think of with fight-or-flight (FOF):

  • High heart rate (tachycardia)
  • Heart palpitations
  • Panic attacks
  • Anxiety
  • Nail biting (onychophagia)
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Insomnia, dizziness (vertigo)
  • Lightheadedness (usually from postural hypotension)
  • Shortness of breath

STOMACH SLOW DOWN

FOF interferes with proper acid production leading to poor mineral absorption and poor protein digestion:

  • G.E.R.D.
  • Loss of appetite
  • Brittle or splitting nails
  • Excessive burping after meals
  • Constipation
  • Kidney stones
  • Bad breath (halitosis)

GUT INFLAMMATION

  • Stuffy sinuses
  • Gallbladder attacks (cholecystitis)
  • Leaky gut syndrome
  • Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Yeast overgrowth (candidiasis)

BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCES

  • Low blood sugar related shakiness or lightheadedness with missed meals (hypoglycemia)
  • Tired after eating carbohydrates related to inadequate glucose levels inside the cells (insulin resistance)

HORMONAL DISRUPTIONS

Estrogen becomes harder to metabolize in the liver leading to increased PMS symptoms:

  • Heavy bleeding
  • Breast tenderness
  • Uterine cramping
  • Migraine headaches
  • Mood disruptions (PMDD)

MUSCULOSKELETAL DYSFUNTION 

  • Muscle cramps
  • Tension headaches

BRAIN STRAIN

  • Trouble focusing
  • Memory loss
  • Poor processing of new information
  • Unable to turn off the mind at night
  • Depression

TOXIN ACCUMULATION

  • Fatigue
  • Acne
  • Itchy or sensitive skin (reactive to cheap jewelry)
  • Irritability
  • Sensitivity to smells
  • Elevated cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)

ALTERED IMMUNE FUNCTION

  • Allergies to pollens or pets
  • Skin rashes
  • Hives
  • Eczema
  • Slow healing tissues
  • Increased susceptibility to various infections and viruses

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES

Can lead to or perpetuate any of the above and promote chronic conditions such as:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
