The hypothalamus communicates directly with the pituitary and adrenal glands. It impacts everything from our sleep, sex drive, mood, temperature regulation, body weight, fluid, electrolyte balance, and more. Found in the brain, it's the central command center and controls the entire neuroendocrine system. The hypothalamus gland plays a big part in the HPA Axis and is part of our limbic system. The HPA axis communicates between them through the use of hormones as messengers and plays an important role in how the body responds to stress. This is a chemical messenger system that connects the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands. The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is part of the endocrine system. What is the HPA Axis and HPA Axis Dysregulation? What I’ve learned on this journey is that stress is always going to be there, but with the right tools, we can support and balance our bodies. The waves at the beach were the perfect start to regulating my HPA axis and getting my cortisol levels back to a balanced state. Moving to Miami and living next to the ocean completely relaxed my nervous system.
I knew I had to make a change in my life and my body. My cortisol levels were extremely low (more on this later!) and my HPA axis and adrenal function weren’t working like they should. My kitty had just died and I was so stressed over COVID and how awful LA was becoming.
When I moved to Miami in 2020, my nervous system was fried.
