Adrenal Fatigue
Adrenal Fatigue is becoming increasingly more common among younger women. The adrenal glands are the small triangle glands on top of your kidneys that are responsible for regulating the body’s response to stress. They also manufacture many of the body’s hormones. If stress gets unmanageable, the adrenal glands are not able to do their jobs as well as they are designed to do. The main adrenal hormone used to manage stress is cortisol. Adrenals secrete cortisol in response to low blood sugar, stress, exercise and excitement.
When adrenal glands function below average, a number of symptoms result. Those symptoms often include chronic infections particularly those associated with the lungs including influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia and fatigue that is not relieved by sleep.While those suffering from adrenal fatigue may look and act normal, they often report having a general sense of lethargy. It’s not uncommon for them to supplement their lack of energy with caffeine and sugar.
The most common symptoms related to adrenal fatigue are:
- fatigue
- insomnia
- weight gain
- depression
- weakness
- suppression of immune system
- muscle loss
- moodiness
- skin problems
- autoimmune disorders

There are extreme cases of adrenal fatigue that involve such a severe lack of energy that the sufferer is unable to manage in life, sleeping most of the day and night.
Adrenal fatigue affects every organ and system in your body. Your ability to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins is greatly affected often resulting in weight gain. You may experience dehydration and reduced electrolyte levels. Your heart rate can be raised or lowered. Your sex drive may diminish or disappear entirely.
These are all responses your body is making to the reduced adrenaline levels and they can result in much more dangerous and permanent conditions. Those who think they may be experiencing adrenal fatigue should be tested immediately.
