Do you stuggle
to get out of bed
in the morning
and drag yourself
around all day? Feel
overwhelmed and
unable to cope?
Do you need coffee
to keep you going in
the mornings and get
a second wind when
you should be going
to bed?
Do you complain to
your doctor of being
tired but everything is
normal on your blood
tests?
These are all signs that you may
have adrenal fatigue.
Your adrenal glands are
responsible for excreting
stress hormones. These help
your body adapt and cope
with stress. With todays
relentless lifestyles our adrenal
glands work on overdrive and
eventually they can’t keep
up anymore. That’s when we
20
run out of energy. We have
flattened our batteries and our
adrenals just can’t respond to
power us through the day.
The adrenal glands also play a
role in the immune system, the
hormonal system and healthy
thyroid activity. The effects
of adrenal fatigue can be far
reaching and signs of adrenal
fatigue include
#1. Brain fog and lack of
concentration
#2. Insomnia and poor sleep,
waking around 3am
#3. Weight gain around the
middle
#4. PMS and hormonal
disturbances
#5. Craving sugar or salt
#6. Thyroid problems
#7. Recurring colds and
infections
#8. CFS and fibromyalgia
#9. Depression and anxiety
Thankfully, there is a lot we can
do to nourish and restore our
adrenal glands.
A salivary adrenal hormone test
can identify adrenal fatigue.
Lifestyle and dietary choices
can make a big difference.
Destressing and slowing
down,take a meditation or
yoga class,walk your dog on
the beach.Breath.Nourish
your body with good food,less
coffee, alcohol and sugar.
As a naturopath I have long
recognised the key role that
the adrenals play in our health.I
have a special interest in
researching and treating adrenal
fatigue. Diet and lifestyle
changes can certainly help
but to really reenergise your
adrenals takes more.There are
wonderful herbs and essential
nutrients necessary to really
make a difference.
Recharging your adrenal glands
will help you power through the
day.You will feel happier and
look forward to each day with
enthusiasm and energy.
We will be running a 1 hour
presentation relating to Adrenal
Fatigue by Sharyn on
August 28th
