What Is HPA Axis Dysfunction?
The HPA axis includes three specific parts of your body:

2) the pituitary gland (just below the hypothalamus);
3) the adrenal glands (at the top of the kidneys).

1. Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
2. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
3. Glucocorticoids
4. Cortisol

4 Ways To Fix HPA Axis Dysfunction
1. Destress
2. Avoid Excessive Exercise
3. Shut Down Inflammation
4. Sleep
-----------------
Summary

You saw these strategies in the recovery chapter too and theres a reason for that: the more you break down the body the more fragile your brain becomes.
All four of the fixes youve just learned about are interrelated and codependent, and if you get each of them dialed in, your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal feedback loops will work with wonderful efficiency.
In the next chapter, youre going get an amazing array of tools, tricks and tips to tune your mind, hack your brain, boost your IQ, enhance your focus and instantly get into the coveted, effortless zone of peak performance.
