Adrenal fatigue

What is adrenal fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a term for when the adrenal glands are overworked and unable to produce adequate levels of cortisol and other hormones. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, body aches, low blood pressure, cravings for salty foods, and more.

The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and are part of the endocrine system. Their main function is to manage the body's stress through the release of hormones like cortisol.

When someone experiences chronic stress from things like work pressure, relationship issues, poor diet, lack of sleep, etc., it can overwork the adrenal glands. Over time, the adrenals become fatigued and don't produce enough cortisol and other hormones to properly regulate blood sugar, circulation, immune function, and more.

Some key signs and symptoms of adrenal fatigue include:

If you suspect adrenal fatigue, getting an accurate diagnosis is important. The Balance & Renew Clinic() clinic offers advanced adrenal stress tests to check key hormone levels like cortisol and DHEA-S. Understanding your individual hormone profile is key to developing the right treatment plan.

Treatment for adrenal fatigue involves removing stressors, getting good rest, adjusting your diet, and often using supplements like licorice root, ashwagandha, magnesium, B complex vitamins, etc., to support healthy adrenal gland function. Hormone creams containing DHEA and pregnenolone can also help fill gaps while your adrenals recover.
