Cortisol is a so called activity or stress hormone. The cortisol level influences our protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism to supply us optimally during periods of activity and stress. As well as that it changes the mental reactivity and interferes with the immune defence. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal cortex and regulates the mineral and water balance in the kidney. The function in regard of the metabolism is the mental wellbeing, the immune function and the regulation of growth. It is produced in the second half of the night, so that it is available in the morning, for the daily activities and stresses. In the morning cortisol concentration is higher and in the evening it is lower. Therefore we are awake and alert in the morning and it give us energy throughout the day. While the lower levels help us to wind down and get ready for sleep at bed time. It is therefore the most important stress hormone that is released during psychological and physical stress situations. In times of continuous stress, the cortisol levels are always raised. If the situation is prolonged then the adrenal gland and/or the pituitary gland and hypothalamus cannot maintain the high hormone levels. We often find as a first sign of and adrenal imbalance the the cortisol levels have dropped by midmorning already down low to evening values, therefore lacking the energy to carry out your daily tasks.

If the situation is prolonged then the adrenal gland and/or the pituitary gland and hypothalamus cannot maintain the high hormone levels.

A consequence of the exhaustion of the adrenal glands is the reduction of pre-hormones progesterone and DHEA. DHEA is an important counterpart of cortisol and balances the cortisol level and therefore very important for our stress tolerance. But when stress over long time the DHEA levels drop and all the positive traits of the Cortisol and DHEA disappear. As well as that the androgen and estrogen hormones which are manufactured from them will be reduced too. Therefore if under stress you lose your desire for sex.

As the stress continues, often problems such as difficulties to fall asleep arise, because of the too high cortisol levels at bedtime. Which leads to ever increasing levels of fatigue.

Many different medical conditions are aggravated by this hormonal imbalance:

• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Metabolic Syndrome/prediabetic?
• weight gain
• Fibromyalgia
• Aches and Pains
• Reoccurring infections
• Problems falling asleep
• Anxiety/ Low mood
• Cushing’s syndrome

In many women too little progesterone is produced in the ovaries. And further progesterone in a sort of antagonist to estrogen. Both hormones have to be present in a certain ratio to each other, to have balanced hormone levels. If progesterone is too low, then oestrogen influences the body too strongly. It is literally dominant. The same is the case, when an actual estrogen deficiency is present, for example during the menopause. The determining factor here is, if the progesterone deficit is even greater than the estrogen deficit.

The following symptoms can be an expression of estrogen dominance:

• Headache
• Marked desire for sweet food
• Low libido
• Sleeplessness
• Dizziness
• Hot flashes
• Irritability
• Breast tension
• Weight gain
• Water retention
• Swollen feet
• Cycle disturbances of various types
• fertility problems
• exhaustion
• cycle irregularities
• fibromyalgia
• obesity
• thyroid problems
• etc.

Estradiol is the predominant form of estrogen in the human, it also plays an important role in male hormone metabolism. In men it is produced in the adrenal glands, testis and the fatty tissue in small amounts and is important for the fertility and potency of men. Whereas Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone responsible for muscle power, condition, libido, staying power. Further it encourages fat metabolism and the production from vasoprotective HDL Cholestenol, improves brain function, normal height and hair growth and the building of amino acids and red blood cells.

The balance between Estradiol and Testosterone is more important, than if the individual results. Estrogen dominance in men can be due to high estrogen and/or low testosterone levels. The following general symptoms can be an expression of male estrogen dominance: headache, irritability, low moods, low sex drive, weight gain, water retention, swollen feet, increase thrombosis risk, thyroid function problems, higher risk of heart attack, development of breast, prostate enlargement, head hair loss, increased fat deposits and general puffiness and inability to sleep.
