Adrenal fatigue is a term for when the adrenal glands are overtaxed and unable to produce adequate levels of hormones like cortisol to handle stress. While not an officially recognized medical diagnosis, many integrative health practitioners treat adrenal fatigue as a legitimate concern.
Symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Body aches
- Difficulty dealing with stress
- Salt and sugar cravings
- Brain fog
- Difficulty waking up
Causes are not fully understood, but potential contributors include:
- High stress levels
- Infections
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Blood sugar dysregulation
If you relate to these
signs and symptoms, there are some natural ways you can support your
adrenal function:
- Get enough sleep - Prioritize 7-9 hours per night
- Reduce stress through relaxation practices
- Eat a nutrient-dense diet with foods like avocado, nuts, and leafy greens
- Supplement with adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and rhodiola
More severe adrenal fatigue may require working with a functional medicine practitioner for customized testing and treatment.
