Adrenal Fatigue Treatment
Adrenal Fatigue Treatment
Adrenal fatigue refers to a group of symptoms thought to occur when the adrenal glands are unable to produce sufficient amounts of hormones, primarily cortisol, due to chronic stress. While “adrenal fatigue” is not officially recognized as a medical diagnosis, the 
concept highlights the effects of prolonged stress on the body. Symptoms often resemble those of other conditions, such as adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue, especially in the morning or after exertion.
- Difficulty handling stress.
- Low energy or motivation.
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating.
- Cravings for salt, sugar, or stimulants like caffeine.
- Sleep disturbances or non-refreshing sleep.
- A weakened immune system.
