Do you regularly notice one or more of the following:

1. You feel tired for no reason.
2. You have trouble getting up in the morning, even when you go to bed at a reasonable hour.

5. You need coffee, colas, energy drinks, sodas, to keep going or you crave salty or sweet snacks.
6. You feel more awake, alert and energetic after 6PM than you do all day.

If you answered “yes” to at least two of these questions, you may be experiencing adrenal fatigue, please read below.

Adrenal fatigue occurs when adrenal gland function becomes less than optimal—usually as a result of stress. Unfortunately, you are not alone – it can affect anyone who undergoes frequent, persistent or severe mental, emotional or physical stress. Adrenal function can also be an important factor in health issues ranging from allergies to obesity, yet it is frequently overlooked and misunderstood by the medical community.

Adrenal fatigue is a collection of signs and symptoms, known as a syndrome, that results when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level. As the name suggests, its paramount symptom is fatigue that is not relieved by sleep but it is not a readily identifiable entity. People may look and act relatively normal with adrenal fatigue and may not have any obvious signs of physical illness, yet they live with a general sense of unwellness, tiredness or “gray” feelings. People experiencing adrenal fatigue often have to use coffee, colas and other stimulants to get going in the morning and to prop themselves up during the day.
Numerous changes occur in the body at the biochemical and cellular levels to compensate for the decrease in adrenal hormones that occurs with adrenal fatigue. The body is trying to make up for under-functioning adrenal glands, but it does so at a price.

Generally speaking, our philosophy is to find natural solutions like dietary changes, herbal supplements, relaxation techniques and physical exercise to treat your specific condition and use medications only when the alternatives don’t work. Even if you disagree with our approach – give it a try – and you will be amazed with the flow of energy in your new revitalized body.
