1. How to Detect Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue? Dr. Peter Dobie

2. Adrenal fatigue is becoming more common with the hectic lifestyle of today’s world. People are often unaware of this condition and it slowly transforms into a chronic fatigue. There are many symptoms of this condition, but these are not directly related to it. You can search online to find a specialist doctor in your area. In our everyday life a number of stressors send signal to our adrenal glands which produce stress hormones. A variety of psychological and physical demands such as lack of sleep, relationship dynamics, financial concerns, family responsibilities, stressful job, dieting and emotional distress activate our adrenals, which start providing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol in relatively small blasts of strength. Adrenals are crucial to our health from keeping us awake, focused and alert throughout the day and providing a little burst of energy while waking us up in the morning. The adrenal glands become impaired in their ability to respond properly, when these are required to sustain high cortisol levels constantly.

3. This results in affecting our short-term response to stress and decreases adrenal glands ability of producing and balancing hormones like progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. These hormones are vital for our long-term health and well-being. Symptoms of imbalance in adrenal glands Symptoms are basically a way by which our body informs us that it’s not getting the support it requires. All the symptoms have actually no direct relationship with adrenal fatigue, but a unique “aggravating pattern” is found when all these different factors are taken into consideration. What you need to do is to look if these tendencies are common in the behaviour of your body.
