Adrenal Fatigue: Understanding Stress and Restoring Energy

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms related to prolonged stress and imbalances in the body’s stress response. The adrenal glands, which produce essential hormones like cortisol, help regulate energy, metabolism, and the body’s ability to handle stress. When stress becomes chronic, adrenal function may become compromised, leading to symptoms such as:

• Persistent fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
• Increased cravings for salt or sugar
• Difficulty managing stress and anxiety
• Weakened immune function and frequent illnesses
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Sleep disturbances, including trouble falling or staying asleep

What Causes Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue can result from a variety of factors, including:

• Chronic physical or emotional stress
• Poor sleep quality or irregular sleep patterns
• Overuse of stimulants like caffeine or energy drinks
• Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies
• Prolonged illness, infections, or autoimmune conditions
• Blood sugar imbalances and metabolic dysfunction
