Adrenal and Cortisol Support vs Adrenal Stress Advanced Formula FAQ

author avatar Dr. Eric Berg 08/31/2023

When it comes to adrenal function, there are two main types of stress that can have an impact: adrenal stress and cortisol stress. Both of these types of stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, but they differ in terms of their causes and effects.

Adrenal stress is typically caused by a sudden, intense event or prolonged periods of stress. This type of stress can cause the adrenal glands to overproduce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. In some cases, adrenal stress can also lead to adrenal burnout, which is a condition where the adrenal glands become unable to produce enough hormones.

Cortisol stress, on the other hand, is typically caused by chronic stressors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and chronic illness. This type of stress leads to the adrenal glands producing too much cortisol, which can eventually lead to adrenal fatigue.

So, what’s the difference between adrenal and cortisol stress? Here’s a quick rundown:

-Adrenal stress is typically caused by sudden, intense events or prolonged periods of stress.

-Cortisol stress is typically caused by chronic stressors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and chronic illness.

-Adrenal stress can lead to adrenal burnout, while cortisol stress can lead to adrenal fatigue.

Your adrenal body type will determine where you will hold fat deposits, how you will store energy, what your metabolism looks like, and how well you cope with stress.
