How is Adrenal Fatigue treated?
Adrenal fatigue has been one of the most prevalent yet under diagnosed conditions for the last fifty years. Many conventional physicians are unaware of this problem. The adrenal glands function to help the body cope with stresses and for survival. Hormones produced by the adrenal glands affect the functioning of every tissue, organ, and gland in the body. They help the body utilize carbohydrates and fats, convert fats and proteins into energy, distribute stored fat (especially around the waist and sides of face), regulate blood sugar, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal function. The adrenal glands also help minimize negative and allergic reactions to alcohol, drugs, foods and environmental allergens. Your quality of life depends on how well the adrenal glands function. You cannot survive without adrenal hormones.
Stress
affects the functioning of the adrenal glands. All stresses are additive
and cumulative. Stresses can include the death of a loved one, toxins,
infection, emotional stress, allergies, lack of sleep, poor eating habits,
lack of exercise, excessive exercise, marital stress, prescription and
nonprescription drugs, caffeine, fear, unwanted unemployment, negative
attitudes and beliefs, lack of relaxation, financial pressures, and
psychological stress. Adrenal fatigue begins when the body becomes unable
to respond to these stressors and make the appropriate changes.
How do I know if I'm at risk for Adrenal Fatigue?
Life in the fast lane makes us ALL candidates for adrenal fatigue, particularly single working mothers, police officers, middle executives, and teachers. Look over this brief checklist (these are not all the symptoms, but most common) to see if you may be at risk.
