Adrenal physiology in the 21st century

Forty years ago, medical practitioners thought that the adrenal glands went through stages starting with overactivity (alarm phase), to a declining phase (resistance phase) and finally to underactivity (exhaustion phase).

This is a logical model, but it doesn’t hold up to current research. We now know that under the influence of certain biochemical processes, the adrenal glands can go straight into a state of overactivity or underactivity without going through the first two phases.

For instance, through a series of biochemical processes a viral infection can throw the adrenal glands into a state of adrenal underactivity. On the other hand, food sensitivities seem to encourage the body’s physiology to promote a state of adrenal hyperactivity.
