Adrenal Fatigue

Are you having a hard time sleeping? Are you experiencing sudden weight gain? Do you feel like you are always out of energy that you can’t seem to manage putting one foot after the other? You consulted many doctors and went through numerous therapies but you’re still not seeing any improvements to your well-being. While the above symptoms are similar to menopause there’s a need to dig deep and check whether you’re also experiencing adrenal fatigue due to continued chronic stress.  In this week’s podcast episode, Dr. Sharzad Green joins me again to talk about adrenal fatigue. While we have talked about this in passing with my other podcasts with her, I find it important to address it in more detail today. We talk about what adrenal fatigue is and how stress contributes largely to it. We also discuss the difference between adrenal fatigue and adrenal insufficiency. We also tackle the importance of a lifestyle change and the steps to take in order to treat adrenal fatigue symptoms effectively.  There’s a wealth of information you can get from listening to this episode, so tune in now.  What’s Discussed in This Episode: 0:00 Introduction3:49 What is adrenal fatigue?5:36 Factors that contribute to adrenal fatigue 8:19 Adrenal fatigue syndrome 9:04 Difference of menopause and adrenal fatigue11:19 Dr. Green shares a case she dealt with 13:35 Adrenal fatigue syndrome vs. adrenal insufficiency15:31 History of adrenal fatigue 19:51 The link between insulin resistance and adrenal fatigue 20:17 Steps to treating adrenal fatigue 23:24 Supplements alone won’t treat adrenal fatigue24:27 Pay attention to what your body and surroundings  tells you26:45 The importance of talking to a medical expert29:33 Next steps to take 31:05 Lifestyle change is crucial to address adrenal fatigue 34:29 Supplements for adrenal fatigue 38:36 Menopause and adrenal fatigue go hand-in-hand 37:18 Checking for improvements in your symptoms 41:18 Episode takeaways  About the Guest: Sharzad Green is a well-acknowledged figure in the industry.
