More often than not, adrenal fatigue is secondary to some other underlying health issues such as chronic hidden inflammation. The adrenal glands have many functions, including the secretion of cortisol and other hormones in response to stress. Inadequate production of one or more of these hormones is medically known as adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease. To receive an Addison’s diagnosis, you must have lost 90% of your adrenal glands’ function, but you can still have adrenal issues without this diagnosis. Signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency may include:
Adrenal fatigue may be a mild form of adrenal insufficiency caused by chronic stress. When the body is in a constant state of stress, the adrenal glands are unable to keep pace with the demand for hormones. “When you find yourself stressed, ask yourself one question: Will this matter in 5 years from now? If yes, then do something about the situation. If no, then let it go.” -Catherine Pulsifer Remember, I'm always here to help if you have any questions regarding adrenal fatigue email me at Toni@drToniCamacho.com and click here to listen to this week's radio show for FREE (scroll all the way down to see the shows).
