Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue occurs when our adrenal glands are overworked or drained by prolonged physical or emotional stress leading to a low cortisol state. Persistent low levels of cortisol in the body lead to hormone imbalance, immune system dysfunction, and autoimmune disorders.

• Depression
• Increased susceptibility to infections
• Headaches
• Allergies
• Insomnia
• Chronic fatigue
• Weight loss or gain
• Joint and body aches
• Low blood pressure
• Low blood sugar
• Low sex drive
• Extreme tiredness an hour after exercise
• Gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating, constipation, nausea, indigestion or reflux
• Autoimmune disorders, like lupus or multiple sclerosis

Treatment for Adrenal Fatigue involves a multifaceted approach. After a comprehensive blood test to check cortisol levels, thyroid levels, hormone levels, and other related tests, patients are given an individualized treatment plan.

Patients are also advised to improve their lifestyle by eliminating smoking, alcohol, and drugs, starting an exercise program, eating healthy foods, and following a daily sleep routine.

In addition, supplements and IV vitamins may also be recommended to optimize results.
