Stress and Adrenals We all deal with stress; stress from our job, our family, our lifestyle or an illness. The body’s response to stress is the same; however our ability to bounce back from stress differs from person to person. The difference has to do with our adrenal glands and how well are they functioning. The adrenal glands are responsible for the regulation of stress, through the synthesis of cortisol and adrenaline.

Due to the budget crisis in California, Governor Schwarzenegger is making deep cuts everywhere. His reduction plans include the elimination of the Bureau of Naturopathic Medicine, the licensing body for Naturopathic Doctor.

By now we have all set our resolutions, succeeded in some and no doubt, failed in some. I’ve decided to look at resolutions from another perspective. Why do we wait until the New Year to start something that is going to benefit us? Most resolutions center around health – exercising more, eating better, being more proactive towards our health issues. Why don’t we start these resolutions mid-year? Or when they cross our minds?
