Adrenal Fatigue
The speed of modern life has reached a fever pitch, and it seems like everyone is under constant pressure to move faster and accomplish more. Yet these demands can take an enormous toll on the human body, especially the adrenal glands.
The adrenal glands are responsible for regulating the body’s natural steroid hormones, including adrenaline. Too much physical, emotional, psychological or environmental stress weakens the adrenals. This can cause a further depletion or imbalance of important hormones, particularly cortisol, which helps the body handle stress.
The symptoms of adrenal fatigue are wide and varied:
- Erratic blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia)
- Arthritis
|
- Allergies
- Low immune system
|
Women can also suffer premenstrual stress and further complications of menopause.
Besides physical sickness, adrenal fatigue can produce unhealthy mental states such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Confusion
- Frustration
- Memory loss
- Poor concentration
- Insomnia
|
As adrenal fatigue worsens, it can create a host of chronic health problems:
- Colds
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Chronic fatigue
- Respiratory infections
- Fibromyalgia
- Alcoholism
- Auto-immune disorders
- Adult onset diabetes
|
In extreme cases, those with acute adrenal fatigue may be completely dispirited and have trouble getting out of bed.
The most common complaints of those suffering from adrenal fatigue are exhaustion, low energy, and an inability to handle life’s daily demands.
Since most doctors don’t explore this diagnosis or know how to test for it, adrenal fatigue often remains undetected – disguised as general tiredness.
