Sex Hormone Imbalance and Adrenal Dysfunction
Sex Hormone Imbalance is very much related to Adrenal Dysfunction. That is why when you approach a client with a Sex Hormone Imbalance, you need to assess cortisol levels and get their stress and adrenal function under control.

The Importance of Cortisol
Cortisol plays an important role in stress response. If one is under a lot of stress, pregnenolone is going to be converted to cortisol, and lead to imbalances in sex hormones.  So it is  important to get stress under control in order to control libido and menstrual cycles.
