If you feel exhausted, lethargic, stressed, and can’t sleep regularly, it might not be just psychological but a physical manifestation of adrenal fatigue.
Adrenal fatigue is when the adrenal glands are overworked and overtaxed.
The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and are responsible for the release and production of important hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol.
When one is in a constant state of physical, emotional, or mental stress, the adrenal glands start working overtime, producing these stress hormones. However, this takes a toll on the adrenal glands, i.e., adrenal fatigue.
Symptoms of adrenal fatigue include:
- Brain fog
- Dependence on caffeine (coffee, energy drinks, etc.) to function/get through the day
- Energy crash around noon/mid-afternoon
- Constant tiredness
- Irregular sleeping habits (difficulty falling asleep, waking up easily, insomnia)
- Strong food cravings for salty or sugary foods
The solution to this is one thing: boost and support your adrenal glands.
