Gabriel recognizes Cushing's syndrome requires identification and treatment of source (tumor removal when possible).
Gabriel recognizes Cushing's syndrome requires identification and treatment of source (tumor removal when possible). For iatrogenic Cushing's: works with prescribing doctor on steroid taper when appropriate. Supports patients through treatment and recovery with nutrients that modulate cortisol, adaptogenic herbs, blood sugar management, bone protection, immune support, and addresses metabolic complications (diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis). Post-treatment, focuses on HPA axis recovery and adrenal rehabilitation.
Standard Treatment
Surgery to remove tumor (transsphenoidal for pituitary, adrenalectomy for adrenal), radiation if surgery unsuccessful, medications to block cortisol production (ketoconazole, metyrapone, mifepristone), treat complications (diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis), for iatrogenic: taper steroids carefully.
The Problem
Surgery not always successful (recurrence or incomplete removal), medications to block cortisol have significant side effects, doesn't support metabolic recovery or HPA axis rehabilitation post-treatment, inadequate bone protection, doesn't address devastating body changes and psychological impact, post-surgical adrenal insufficiency requires careful management often inadequately supported, long recovery period with insufficient guidance.

Low-glycemic diet critical (Cushing's causes insulin resistance and diabetes), eliminate refined sugars and carbohydrates, adequate protein to prevent muscle wasting (cortisol is catabolic), calcium and vitamin D-rich foods for bone protection (or supplement), reduce sodium (hypertension and fluid retention common), increase potassium-rich foods (leafy greens, avocado, sweet potato - cortisol depletes potassium), anti-inflammatory diet, avoid alcohol and caffeine (stress HPA axis), adequate calories (not low-calorie despite weight gain - need nutrition for healing).
Stress management critical (stress worsens cortisol even in Cushing's), protect bones (fall prevention, weight-bearing exercise when able), monitor blood pressure regularly, monitor blood sugar, wound care (cortisol impairs healing), infection prevention (immunosuppressed), sun protection (thin fragile skin), gentle exercise (avoid injury, support bone health), adequate sleep despite insomnia from high cortisol, emotional support (body changes are distressing - moon face, central obesity, striae, mood changes), post-treatment: patience with recovery (can take months to years for HPA axis to normalize).
