Stress, Occasional Anxiety and Adrenal Resilience

Presented by: Peter Bongiorno, ND, LAc⁺

The adrenal glands are designed to keep basal rates of corticosteroids, mineralocorticoids and sex hormones and to robustly secrete stress hormones for resilient protection during a stressful moment. However, stress can overwhelm these glands leading to various stages of the adrenal response. In this webinar, Dr. Peter Bongiorno explains how most cases of stress and anxiety are a normal reaction to what we put our bodies and minds through. He will cover the workings of the HPA axis and reveal the true relevance of early, mid and late adrenal response. By learning from his 21 years of clinical experience managing these various stages, you can gain strategies for bringing your patients back to resilience.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the impact of stress on adrenal function
• Understand the workings of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal(HPA) axis
• Identify the stages of adrenal response: early, mid and late, how they occur and the methods to test for them
• Acquire practical strategies and clinical insights from Dr.Bongiorno to address various stages of adrenal response and enhance patient resilience
