A short YouTube talk by Dr. Tabatha Barber explaining how menopause affects adrenal health: during menopause ovaries reduce production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, so the adrenal glands act as 'backup ovaries' and take on hormone production. Menopause can cause gut disruption, dysbiosis, and increased stress on adrenals, which impacts bone, brain, and cardiovascular protection.
Natural menopause. The transition into not making enough hormones can be the root cause of new problems. So menopause causes gut disruption and gut dysbiosis. It causes a lot of stress on the adrenals. So you think stress, you know, externally in your environment is hard on your adrenals, but also menopause is hard on your adrenal glands because your adrenals are your backup ovaries. So when your ovaries stop making your hormones, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, your body looks to your adrenal glands to start getting estrogen and testosterone, enough to protect your bones and your brain and your cardiovascular system.
