Adrenal glands and Peri/Menopause

Because the ovaries produce estrogen, adrenal health is critical during perimenopause and menopause. When the ovaries fail, the adrenal gland takes over. It may not work correctly due to perimenopause's hormonal ups and downs. This can disturb the HPA axis, which communicates between your brain and glands. Supporting your adrenal glands through nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and root chakra can make it much simpler for the adrenal glands to cope and create fewer symptoms for you. When you reach menopause, the communication with your HPA axis and adrenals will calm down again.

Protein like organic turkey contains amino acids such as tryptophan, which relaxes the body, contributes to less stress, and reduces cortisol levels, which may help adrenal fatigue.
