Answer:
Your adrenal glands sit atop your kidneys, where they have a very important job. According to the Society for Endocrinology, the adrenal glands secrete hormones, or chemical messengers, into your bloodstream, where they travel to various parts of your body to do their work.
But sometimes the adrenal glands go haywire, overproducing the stress hormone cortisol (Cushing’s disease) or not producing enough hormones (Addison’s disease or adrenal insufficiency), says Frederick Singer, MD, director of the endocrinology and bone disease program at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
Some nontraditional physicians recognize another adrenal condition: adrenal fatigue. They say adrenal fatigue is when you’re under a great deal of stress and, as a result, your adrenal glands just can’t keep up with your body’s demands for hormones.
