Adrenal fatigue

What is adrenal fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue refers to a collection of signs and symptoms that result when the adrenal glands cannot adequately meet the demands of stress. It is characterized by ongoing fatigue and cortisol imbalance.

Some key points about adrenal fatigue:

• It occurs when adrenal glands become overworked and unable to produce enough hormones like cortisol to handle life's stresses


• Common symptoms include fatigue, body aches, sleep problems, anxiety, cravings, and more


• Contributing factors may include chronic stress, poor diet, blood sugar imbalances, mental health issues, and other diseases


• Conventional medicine does not recognize adrenal fatigue as a distinct diagnosis


• Integrative health practitioners use adrenal fatigue to explain a cluster of symptoms related to adrenal issues


• Treatment focuses on managing stress levels, proper nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, and addressing related issues
