The Science Behind Stress and the Adrenals First, you must understand what is going on in the body during stress. When physical or mental stressors manifest, the body reacts with the neuroendo metabolic stress response system or NEM. It is a circuit of 6 individual systems all regulated by a different set of organs that help manage stress and include: hormonal, metabolic, detoxification, inflammatory, neuroaffective, and cardiologic systems. If the stress levels are high and chronic, the circuits become unbalanced, stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and symptoms arise. The body goes into a “fight or flight” response in attempts to protect and arm itself from harm. In addition, the medulla secretes epinephrine, and the HPA axis releases ACTH causing the adrenal cortex to overproduce the hormone cortisol, or also known as the hormone of death.
