About this listen
- Corticosteroids shut down natural cortisol production; even short-term use as brief as 14 days suppresses adrenal function, creating dangerous dependency on synthetic hormones
- A European study reveals widespread risk; over 500,000 patients showed six times higher adrenal insufficiency rates with oral steroids; even "safe" inhaled versions increased risk by 55%
- Sudden steroid withdrawal triggers emergency situations requiring immediate medical care due to collapsed fluid and electrolyte balance
- Nearly half (48.7%) of oral steroid patients develop adrenal suppression, yet most aren’t warned about or tested for this serious condition
- Recovery requires metabolic repair; focus on reducing inflammation, fixing insulin resistance, optimizing sleep cycles and supporting natural cortisol rhythms rather than more medications
