Summary

What we're talking about in this episode Why adrenal issues are often misdiagnosed and the unfortunate consequences of this How our modern life wreaks havoc on our body’s natural stress response systems The origins and consequences of the adrenal fatigue myth The reasons why cortisol can be decreased in the body through cortisol resistance The four most common triggers of HPA axis dysfunction and how to respond to them Why perceived stress is a big deal and practical ways to cope with it Episode Summary If you’ve ever felt so exhausted that simply functioning seems like an impossibility you may be suffering from adrenal fatigue. That’s what I was diagnosed with a decade ago. Our adrenals are hormones produced in a set of glands near our kidneys. But here’s the deal, chronic fatigue doesn’t actually start there - it begins up in our limbic, or survival, brain. For those of you who’ve struggled with this type of chronic fatigue, today’s episode might just change your life. I’m taking a deep dive into the myths surrounding adrenal fatigue. I explain what it really is and what’s going on that makes you feel so tired all the time, and how you can heal from all the burnout. Today I’m speaking from both personal and professional experience to explain what is known, not known, and incorrectly assumed about adrenal systems and adrenal fatigue. I discuss what triggers many of the common problems of cortisol imbalance and what you can do about it. You’re going to walk away from this episode with the knowledge to be more empowered about taking control of your energy.
