Dr. Justin Marchegiani: Except if it's low — if it's low, it'll bring it up much higher because you know, let's say your
adrenals are really key
at holding on to minerals and if you're decreasing your mineral retention because the aldosterone that your
adrenals make is low because of the
adrenal dysfunction that's happening, you will pee out more minerals and that — that's important for regulating blood pressure and that's also important for their sodium potassium pumps, so if we don't have enough high quality sodium, those sodium potassium pumps kinda that creates the gradient and how things go in and out of the cell, now if don't have adequate sodium on board, that can definitely be a stressor for the body.
i have always had normal BP, but recently
at two dr's appointment they said my BP was high, and my standing BP showed signed of
adrenal dysfunction.
This pattern of chronic over-stimulation contributes to HPA axis
dysfunction (some would call
adrenal fatigue) and makes it harder to perform
at a peak level on a daily basis.
