If your test results indicate that you are Adrenal Dominant:

As a result of abnormal hormone production, nutrient metabolism is altered and fat storage occurs in and around the abdominal organs and torso area. This fat collection hangs over the waistline and/or collects in the upper back and lower neck regions. Adrenal stress can also impact appearance by breaking down amino acids in muscle tissue and altering the sodium and potassium balance creating excess fluid retention. This fluid will cause swelling in the face (moon face) and sock rings appear around the ankles (early signs of edema).

The adrenals, through cortisol and epinephrine secretion, are also involved in blood sugar metabolism. It is not uncommon to see brown AGE (Advanced Glycation End Products) spots on skin or caramelization coloration to the skin. The adrenal glands are also chiefly responsible for the circadian rhythm hormonal pattern. They primarily decide how sleep, stamina, protein metabolism, and digestive patterns are modulated within the body. These hormones once imbalanced can create difficulty waking up, getting to sleep, maintaining weight, or controlling food cravings.
