Discover the vital role of the pituitary gland and its impact on our health with Gretchen Jordan, Associate Director of the Cushing Support and Research Foundation. Gretchen shares her compelling personal journey with Cushing's disease from diagnosis to advocacy. This episode uncovers the critical functions of cortisol and the often-overlooked symptoms of this rare condition, emphasising the need for greater awareness and early diagnosis.
Learn how non-specific symptoms like weight gain, high blood pressure, and emotional instability complicate the diagnosis of Cushing's disease. We discuss the importance of recognising these symptoms early to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of severe complications.
