Adrenal fatigue

What is adrenal fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a term for when the adrenal glands are overtaxed and unable to produce adequate levels of cortisol and other hormones. This can leave one feeling persistently tired, stressed, and generally unwell.

Some potential causes include:

• Chronic stress - Whether from work, relationships, finances, or health issues, prolonged stress demands that the adrenals continuously pump out hormones. Over time, this can tax the glands.


• Poor diet - Eating too much sugar and refined carbs requires the adrenals to manage spikes and drops in blood sugar. A nutrient-poor diet provides little support.


• Lack of sleep - Not getting enough restful sleep prevents the adrenals from recharging.

Symptoms may vary but can include:

• Fatigue


• Body aches


• Difficulty sleeping


• Anxiety


• Brain fog


• Lightheadedness

If this sounds familiar, consider getting your cortisol and adrenal hormone levels tested. The experts at Hormone Health Center can order advanced saliva or blood tests to measure your adrenal function.

Their cutting-edge therapies utilize bioidentical hormones and customized protocols to nourish weakened adrenals. Patients report improved energy, mental clarity, resilience to stress, and better health.
