Women must help protect the brain from the negative effects of cortisol and other stress hormones.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder and … one of them — that are produced in the ovary and the adrenal gland.

Reasons for adrenal fatigue and dysfunction:

Emotional stress, typically related to grief or loss

Poor diet: Eating too many carbs can disrupt cortisol and a certain group of corticosteroids (a blood pressure-stabilizing hormone), and the Standard American Diet is “a perfect recipe for destroying your adrenal glands,” Dr. Kalish warns.

One of the most important things that cortisol does is regulating secretory IgA in your gut. What this means is that the immune response in your gut is controlled by cortisol. Hence, if you’re stressed, the immune response in your gut suffers, the gut tissue becomes damaged, and good bacteria give way to bad bacteria, causing immune dysregulation that is centered in and around your gut.

Two important components to address this problem are to:

• regularly eat fermented foods, which will dramatically increase the beneficial bacteria in your body (which automatically will help decrease pathogenic bacteria), and
• to eat a diet low in sugars and carbs, as that will also promote a healthy gut flora.
