A Naturopathic Perspective on Adrenal Stress

Navigating the Rush of Modern Stressors

Ever experienced that sudden jolt when a car swerves into your lane unexpectedly? That's your body's adrenal glands springing into action, preparing you to react swiftly and decisively. Originally designed for moments of acute danger or intense emotions, this response is now triggered by even the most minor stressors. Our nervous system communicates with the adrenal glands, prompting the release of adrenaline, epinephrine, and norepinephrine into the bloodstream. These hormones induce changes like increased heart rate and blood pressure, facilitating rapid responses. Termed the "fight or flight" response, it's a primal survival mechanism deeply ingrained in human evolution. However, the incessant demands of modern life, from daily commutes to overwhelming choices, continually strain our adrenal glands, potentially leading to exhaustion over time.

Understanding Adrenal Function

Nestled atop each kidney, the adrenal glands play a crucial role in hormone secretion, impacting various bodily functions. The adrenal cortex produces key hormones:

Aldosterone: Regulates salt and water levels, crucial for maintaining blood pressure.
Cortisol: Manages the body's stress response, metabolism, glucose production, and possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties.
DHEA and Testosterone: Also synthesized within the adrenal glands.
Aside from lifestyle stressors, environmental factors like heavy metals, pesticides, hormonal fluctuations, and nutritional deficiencies can disrupt adrenal hormone production. Given cortisol's pivotal role in stress regulation, monitoring its levels offers insights into adrenal function.

Navigating Adrenal Dysregulation

Adrenal dysfunction isn't a simple dichotomy of excess or insufficiency in cortisol production. Prolonged stress or other factors can manifest in different ways. At one extreme, chronic stress may lead to adrenal burnout, or Addison’s Disease, characterized by insufficient cortisol production. Conversely, persistent stressors or steroid usage can drive the adrenals into overdrive, resulting in elevated cortisol levels and potentially Cushing Syndrome. While Addison’s and Cushing's are recognized medical conditions warranting treatment, minor cortisol imbalances often go unnoticed or undertreated within conventional medicine.

Exploring Adrenal Fatigue

The concept of "adrenal fatigue," introduced by Naturopath James Wilson, PhD, posits a syndrome arising from diminished adrenal function due to prolonged stress. Despite scepticism from some medical quarters, many patients report symptoms consistent with subclinical adrenal imbalances. Resistance to this concept stems partly from its origin in naturopathic circles, diverging from allopathic medical paradigms. However, the similarities between adrenal fatigue and established adrenal physiology suggest its potential validity.

Balancing Act in Treatment

Conventional approaches typically involve steroid replacement therapy for Addison’s, while addressing minor imbalances may be overlooked. Steroid usage for slight cortisol insufficiency may be akin to using a sledgehammer for a small task. Furthermore, diagnosing adrenal imbalances presents challenges, with symptoms overlapping with other conditions like thyroid disorders. Achieving cortisol balance throughout the day is crucial for overall well-being, but conventional cortisol testing often provides incomplete snapshots, hindering accurate diagnosis.

Advancing Adrenal Testing

An ideal approach involves comprehensive testing methods, such as salivary hormone analysis, allowing multiple cortisol measurements throughout the day. Unlike blood tests, saliva tests offer a cost-effective and patient-friendly means to assess adrenal function accurately. By obtaining a more nuanced understanding of adrenal hormone production, practitioners can tailor treatments to address minor imbalances effectively.

Embracing a Holistic Approach

Many individuals may be grappling with undiagnosed adrenal imbalances, underscoring the importance of comprehensive testing methodologies. By embracing a naturopathic perspective and employing advanced testing techniques, practitioners can identify and address adrenal dysregulation more effectively, promoting holistic well-being for their patients.

Patients’ Biggest Frustrations and Fears

In my experience, the BIGGEST frustrations facing patients who are feeling unwell are the lack of objective testing performed by the medical establishment and the lack of patient-centered care offered in uncovering the real reasons why symptoms are being experienced:
• Patients are fed up with blanket diagnoses like IBS, PMS, depression & chronic fatigue
• Patients want to know why they’re experiencing multiple symptoms simultaneously
• Patients intuitively know there is a reason why they don’t feel well
• Patients want to know why their treatments are not working
• Patients are frustrated at being passed from doctor to doctor with no real progress being made
• Patients want to know why their diet and lifestyle changes aren’t helping
• Patients are afraid that their symptoms may worsen and lead to diseases later in life
• Patients are annoyed that when tests are performed, they don’t receive copies & feedback
• Patients want to run appropriate testing, and they don’t mind paying for it
• Patients want to be guided by a practitioner who has both humanity and expertise, who can offer time, empathy and a helping hand, and they don’t mind paying for it
These frustrations are not going to go away in a hurry, which means Vital Health and Natural medicine has an incredible opportunity to help these frustrated people.

The Biggest Benefits of Functional Lab Testing

Functional Lab tests included in the VITAL HEALTH AND NATURAL MEDICINE Testing Toolkit includes Organic Acids Testing, Microbiome Mapping and Hormonal Saliva testing which can determine the balance of good metabolic function vs bad metabolic function in my clients’ bodies.

Time tested and clinically proven supplement protocols included in the consultations give me the opportunity to help my clients remove the bad metabolic function and replace it with the good metabolic function.

As Vital Health help people improve this metabolic function, they will ascend the Vitality Scale, overcome symptoms in the Seven Areas of Health (Digestion, S*x and Reproduction, Energy, Aches and Pains, Mood, Sleep, Hair, Skin, and Nails) and completely rejuvenate their wellbeing.
• Functional lab tests can mostly be done in the comfort of your home
• No clinic visits and blood draws are needed in most cases
• This alleviates the problem of needle/injection stress
• Your client simply mails his or her samples to the lab for analysis.
• Samples include saliva, urine, stool, hair and finger prick blood spot
• Results are returned rapidly – usually within 10 or so working days
• Clients/patients receive test result copies for their reference and medical files
• The test results are relatively easy to interpret and understand (in most cases)
• The tests check imbalances that are rarely, if ever, considered in western medicine
• The tests expand on certain medical tests, offering more of an in depth picture of what is going on in your patient/client’s body
• Relevant tests nearly always uncover the reasons why you have symptoms
• The tests don’t diagnose diseases – they merely highlight imbalances –
• The tests cut out guesswork
• They enable VITAL HEALTH to provide laser-focused programes for clients and patients
• The tests can save enormous amounts of time for your client
• Ultimately, the tests can save your clients and patients hundreds or even thousands by removing guesswork and wasted money on ad hoc treatment protocols
• The tests can uncover risk factors for future disease, enabling you to help your clients mitigate them
• Most of all, the test results help reduce peoples’ anxiety and provide peace of mind that they finally understand why they’re not feeling well, and that they can do something about it
I’m sure you will agree that these are phenomenal and profound benefits in today’s healthcare environment.

Yours in Health

The symptoms of these conditions are so similar that SIBO is often mistaken for Candida or H. pylori.

So, here are a few characteristics about SIBO that I have witnessed in the people I work with, that set it apart from Candida or H. pylori.

SIBO is more painful, and the symptoms (particularly the upper GI and centre of the abdomen) can be much more severe.

The psychological symptoms of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth are much broader and disruptive.

The diet needs to be lower in carbs and more restrictive with fruit and nuts with bacterial overgrowth and bacteria is much less forgiving than Candida when you stray even a little bit from those restrictions and the complications can be more harsh.

The overall health of the individual with SIBO tends to be more compromised.

Gastrointestinal symptoms from small intestinal bacterial overgrowth are more surrounded around the centre of the stomach in the belly button area.

SIBO is noisy (lots of gurgling, moaning and squirting in mid section) – Candida isn’t.

Acid reflux, GERD, heart burn, indigestion, and belching, tend to be more related to SIBO or H. pylori rather than Candida.

You may indeed have excess gas when carbs are eaten with Candida, but the gas that is produced with SIBO is much more excessive and its smell is wicked. It may smell like ammonia or sulphur.

Stool from someone with bacterial overgrowth smells much more foul than stool from someone with Candida only.

Candida is a walk in the park compared to SIBO.

H. pylori and SIBO can be hard to distinguish as well, as they both can produce upper GI symptoms like acid reflux, burning sensation in the abdomen, heart burn and belching. However, H. pylori symptoms (burning sensations of tissue, indigestion, belching) are typically experienced higher up in the abdomen. On the other hand, symptoms from bacteria in the small intestine can radiate out and up.

SIBO and H. pylori both produce a great deal more belching than Candida. SIBO belching originates from lower in the stomach down near the belly button, while H. pylori belching originates higher up. If you pay close attention when belching, you can feel where it originates from.

If you get really in tune with your body, you can also identify where your gas is originating from. When you expel gas, if you can feel it in your upper abdomen, then that is likely SIBO. If you feel it in your lower abdomen, that is likely bacteria or yeast in the colon.

Symptoms that develop as soon as food hits your stomach are more likely to be due to H. pylori, because that is the only microbe that can survive in this acidic environment. However, Candida and bacteria do reside in the mouth and oesophagus, and they become active as soon as food enters the mouth.

If gas begins in about 30 minutes of eating, that indicates that fermentation (due to Candida or bacteria) is taking place in the small intestine, because it typically takes about five or six hours after eating for food to make it to the colon. However, H. pylori may also inhabit the first section of the small intestine, (duodenum), so belching and pain that begins in 30 minutes could also be H. pylori.

You can get a general idea of where your bacteria or Candida are colonized by when your symptoms appear. Earlier on in the digestive process indicates they are higher up in the small intestine, later on in the process indicates they are further down in the small intestine and after five or six hours indicates they are in the colon.

However, transit time does vary from person to person, so this may not be exact if one has slower or increased transit time.

Candida responds very well to a low-carb diet; many symptoms will resolve with changes in diet alone. SIBO requires significantly more restriction on the carbs and fibre including fruit and nuts to get relief.

If bacterial overgrowth is severe, it may not improve much with diet alone or one may have to eliminate nuts and fruit completely to achieve significant relief. However, not following the diet makes SIBO symptoms unbearable. Additionally, some bacteria will feed on protein and fat when carbs are absent, so even these foods can become problematic to some degree.

H. pylori symptoms will also persist to some degree in the face of low-carb. So, if you are following the Paleo for Candida diet faithfully as I suggest, but still have a lot of upper and middle of the stomach GI symptoms and/or psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, unexplained fear or paranoia, OCD, brain fog) are persistent, then your focus needs to be more on bacteria and Helicobacter pylori. One should always explore the possibility of parasites as well.

A microbiome map serves as a powerful tool in identifying the root causes of gut issues by providing a comprehensive analysis of the diverse microorganisms inhabiting the digestive tract. By examining the unique composition and activity of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes within the gut, I can pinpoint imbalances or deficiencies that contribute to various gastrointestinal symptoms.

This detailed mapping enables personalized treatment plans tailored to restore a healthy microbial balance, addressing conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and food intolerances.

Through the insights gained from a microbiome map, it becomes possible to move beyond generic treatments and towards targeted interventions that address the specific needs of an individual's gut health, leading to more effective and sustainable solutions.

ARE YOU CONSTANTLY TIRED AND FEELING UNWELL? DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH FINDING ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR CONDITION ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL BLOOD TESTS COME BACK NORMAL?

THERE IS A WAY TO FIND OUT BY USING THE “ROLLS ROYCE” OF FUNCTIONAL TESTING CALLED THE ORGANIC ACIDS TEST, A URINE SAMPLE ABLE TO REVEAL DYSFUNCTION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ABLE TO DETECT WHICH NUTRIENTS ARE NEEDED TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS ROLLERCOASTER OF ILL HEALTH ONCE AND FOR ALL.

As a Functional Medicine Integrative Naturopath at Vital Health, I treat many clients with the following challenges:
• Low energy and moods that go up and down for no apparent reasons.
• Anxiety, feeling wired but tired and always on edge.
• Gut problems like bloating, “IBS” even though they eat a healthy diet.
• Sore muscles, aching joints
• Taking heaps of supplements but still feeling unwell
• Going to doctors, returning normal blood results and to be told that” it’s all in your head, and to go home and just eat a good diet!”

You may be reading this and resonating with this and just know that you are not alone. Your frustration is also my frustration because Organic Acid Testing can reveal the dysfunction in the body as opposed to looking for pathology which blood tests are trying to uncover. Basically, normal blood results mean no pathology......that’s a good thing, but it doesn’t explain your feeling of ill health.

ORGANIC ACIDS TESTING

In a urine sample, substances or metabolites show up in the urine as part of normal metabolism. An overactive or underactive metabolic function will show up in the urine as excessively high or low metabolites. From these results, I can design a laser-focussed protocol to get your metabolism back into balance.

IF THERE’S ONLY ONE NUTRITIONAL FUNCTIONAL TEST THAT YOU CAN AFFORD, THEN THE ORGANIC ACIDS TEST IS THE ONE TO GET.

When I see a client, the following issues generally come up through a thorough history taking consultation.
• Low cellular energy production
• Hidden or “silent” inflammation in the body.
• High stress overload in the body
• Nutrient deficiencies, especially B-vitamins
• Digestive problems that a stool test couldn’t find.
• Low levels of “feel good” chemicals.
• Exposure to toxins
• Overwhelmed detox pathways, liver/kidneys

These can be overwhelming issues that can cause a myriad of symptoms. These symptoms are present due to functional problems and the ORGANIC ACIDS TEST can identify where the dysfunction is located.

The information obtained through Organic Acids testing is invaluable because it’s a sensitive blueprint, evidence-based piece of information, of precisely what isn’t functioning properly in your brain, gut, cells and detoxification pathways.

INTEGRATIVE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE NATUROPATH DOMENIC PISANELLI IS TRAINED TO INTERPRET AND DESIGN A PROTOCOL FROM THE ORGANIC ACIDS TEST TO GET YOU BACK IN GOOD HEALTH.

The test report comes as a 7-page snapshot of your metabolic function. It can be tricky to interpret, so an experienced clinician is required to help you understand some of the long words and coloured charts. Most organic acids test reveal more than one issue, so the plan to correct these imbalances requires expertise in designing a progressive plan to correct the problems. Naturopath Domenic Pisanelli has been trained by the Kalish method which is a functional medicine lab base health approach to restoring the three main body systems, hormones, digestion, and detoxification.

SO, WHAT PROBLEMS AND IMBALANCES CAN AN ORGANIC ACIDS TEST IDENTIFY?

Cellular Energy Production:
We have cells in the body to make energy. Nutrient deficiencies such as B-vitamins, protein deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, low levels of Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, Magnesium can cause low cellular energy production which in turn leads to fatigue, poor memory, concentration issues to name a few.

Fatty Acid Metabolism:
Cells also derive energy from burning fat properly. Metabolism errors in this function causes you to feel tired, down and have difficulty losing weight or burning fat. Again, certain nutrients will address this dysfunction.

B –Vitamin Status:
B-Vitamin deficiencies can cause low energy, mood issues and methylation or detoxification problems. The test can pinpoint certain B- Vitamins that will benefit and address the metabolic pathway.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO):
This condition is prevalent I find in IBS, and it can’t be found in a stool test. There are certain bacterial markers that indicate bacteria problems in the small intestine. A comprehensive gut protocol can be designed for this sort of problem. In clinical practice, this treatment alone can improve fatigue, mood, inflammation, and other body-wide problems.

Candida Overgrowth:
Yeast infection can cause a myriad of body-wide problems. The test can measure levels of candida, and this can be the cause of the fatigue, gut symptoms, inflammation, foggy head and pain that one experiences.

Neurotransmitter/stress Hormone Metabolism:
Brain chemistry is measured through compounds found in urine which can ascertain adrenal fatigue, dopamine, tyrosine, and serotonin deficiencies which can affect mood and addictive patterns.

Liver Detoxification and Ammonia Toxicity:
High ammonia and poor liver detoxification are generally rampant in this test and symptoms can range from energy problems to memory and mood issues. Certain detoxification nutrients are paramount in the treatment of this condition.

Oxidative Stress/Inflammation:
Oxidative stress and inflammation are also measured through specific organic acid markers. Important to correct if suffering from allergies, infections, and autoimmune problems.

I’m sure you’ll agree, an organic acids test provides tons of information that has helped me unravel health mysteries for hundreds of my clients. Sometimes the treatment only involves a few nutrients to improve the function, and in other cases, more systems must be considered and affected to get you back in good health.

EFFECTIVE, EVIDENCE BASED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS COUPLED WITH EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONAL PROTOCOLS.

Nutritional medicine is the corner stone of my practice and I know how effective this can be, but a lot of the time most nutritional recommendations are based on symptoms and how to relieve these symptoms without really knowing the cause. Organic Acids Testing is effective in finding causes.

Maybe you have a cupboard full of supplements that have cost you a lot of money and don’t make you feel any better. By doing an Organic Acids test, the results will reveal what you need to correct the imbalances, saving you money and getting you well quicker. The fact that the Organic acids test can reveal 46 possible metabolic imbalances, is testament to the fact that answers can be derived from these results, leading to better health outcomes.

HOW IS AN ORGANIC ACID TEST PERFORMED?

It’s very easy to do an organic acids test. No doctor’s or lab visits. Simply done at home with a test kit.
• Given to you at your initial consultation to take home and complete. Otherwise, can be ordered and sent to your home.
• Collect a urine sample first thing in the morning.
• Freeze the sample.
• Return your urine to the lab in a pre-packaged postage paid envelope.
• It takes 10-14 days for your results to be available.
• You receive a detailed 7-page report.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE REPORT IS ANALYSED?

Once the results come in a one-hour consultation is scheduled and recommendations will be made to bring you back to balance. Depending on the results, the following actions may include:

• Food and nutrition advice to improve certain parameters.
• Advice on stress reduction
• Individualised and specific supplements and herbs.
• Follow up recommendations to review improvements.

THE ORGANIC ACIDS TEST IS THE ONE TEST TO CONSIDER IF SUFFERING FROM A CHRONIC PROBLEM OR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE TO KEEP YOU WELL.

As a functional integrative Naturopath at Vital Health, I have used Organic acids Testing on many clients with complex issues because it is incredibly accurate and it reveals hidden reasons for symptoms that other tests cannot find, and that most medical doctors won’t even consider.
