Adrenal Fatigue: Are You Suffering From It?

Dr. Peter Dobie

You might be suffering from adrenal fatigue if having trouble getting up in the morning, have an extra desire for salts and constant fatigue. This generally happens when adrenal glands stop working properly and effectively. It is recommended to visit a doctor to avoid any chronic disease due to fatigue. By maintaining a balanced diet, it can be easily avoided.

Adrenal Fatigue is a health disorder that you might not have even heard of, but it can affect anyone regardless of their health. In this condition a patient feels decline in endurance, loss of strength, deep or persistent fatigue etc. It can also increase a number of other health conditions like obesity or different allergies. Adrenal fatigue should not be mistaken or compared with adrenal insufficiency which is caused by Addison's disease. Adrenal insufficiency can result in illness or even death.

Adrenal fatigue is generally caused due to a decline in the proper functioning of the adrenal glands. These glands have an important role to play in management of a body’s stress. This stress can be emotional, psychological and physical. A complex array of hormones is secreted by these glands such as testosterone, estrogen and cortoisol. These hormones are responsible in regulating a wide range of functions in bodies. Adrenal fatigue occurs when these glands become weak and as a result are unable to respond to stress in an effective way.

It is important to cure adrenal fatigue as it cause serious health issues and can also be highly debilitating. The level of activeness declines rapidly in people who suffer from this condition. If suffering from this disease, you would tire more often, training would become difficult and recovery from a strain would take a much longer time than before.

Apart from not feeling well all the time, you may even experience mild muscles and joint pains, an unexplained craving for salt, reduced sex drive and you would be tired all the time, but feel bursts of energy in the evening. There are also many other symptoms of this condition.

There are chances that adrenal fatigue develops due to some type of a persistent or chronic stress. You might hear many expert saying that it occurs because of regular overdose of stimulants that are found in energy drinks, coffee and fat burners. They say that overexposure of these stimulants have resulted in increasing the rate of weakening of the adrenal glands.

There is no specific way of diagnosing adrenal fatigue, instead a number of tests are conducted that can help to give an indication that how efficiently the adrenal glands are working. Some methods to track down the presence of adrenal fatigue are pupil contraction testing, blood pressure and temperature tracking. Apart from eliminating stress from your life and cutting down the intake of the stimulants, its treatment can be done by following a prescribed course of medicines, hormone replacement therapy and a healthy diet.

Processed carbohydrates and refined sugars in diet can have a high negative impact on your body because these cause stress on the adrenal glands. You can prevent or recover from adrenal fatigue by having a proper diet of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and right balance of proteins. To avoid a prolonged hunger it is highly advisable that you eat frequent small meals ranging from five to six per day.
