Fight, Flight, or Phantom Fatigue
Summary
Throughout history, we've transitioned from physically demanding lifestyles to fast-paced mental challenges, particularly in modern America. This shift may be impacting our health in unseen ways. Recent insights reveal the significant influence of modern life on our well-being, primarily through the adrenal glands. These small glands, located on top of the kidneys, respond to various stimuli like fear, anger, excitement, and stress. As our work becomes more emotionally taxing yet sedentary, our adrenal glands are increasingly overworked.
The Adrenal Glands' Role and Impact
Previously seen as secondary players in our body's response systems, the adrenal glands are now crucial. They're constantly active, often leading to elevated levels of corticosteroids in millions of Americans. This includes athletes, pregnant women, and individuals dealing with depression or panic disorders.
Despite the adrenal glands' importance, much is still unknown about the broader endocrine system. Until this knowledge gap is filled, we must find ways to manage stress. The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones like androgens and corticosteroids. Cortisol, for example, is vital for metabolism, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune system.
Corticosteroids: Uses and Effects
Corticosteroids are often used to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and tendonitis. They can be combined with cyclophosphamide for vasculitis treatment. However, their side effects depend on treatment length, dosage, and administration. Short-term use may lead to heart palpitations, hot flashes, insomnia, and excessive sweating. Long-term use often results in muscle atrophy and facial swelling.
By understanding these dynamics, we can better manage the demands of modern life and safeguard our health.
