The only bad thing is that I struggle with adrenal fatigue, and I have heard that caffeine is harmful for me. Is this true? If so, do you have any recommendations for ways to wean myself off it? I get major headaches when I try not to drink it. -Angel in New York #2 - 16:03 Q: I am SOOOO tired lately! As soon as I wake up, all I want to do is go to bed! But I feel like I am getting enough sleep at night, I sleep 8-10 hours. One of my girlfriends mentioned that this could be a candida issue, another says it’s a thyroid issue, Google tells me its my liver or Epstein Bar Virus. How can I tell the difference when all of the symptoms are so similar? -Donna in NC #3 - 17:54 Q: For the past 6 mos or so, I have noticed that I get an insane spike of energy in the evening. At first, I thought this was related to my Intermittent Fasting, but I started googling, and I stumbled upon info about Adrenal Fatigue. It was crazy, all of the other symptoms applied to me! It stinks to feel this way, but it is nice to have somewhat of a diagnosis. The thing I still can’t figure out is why I am getting my energy burst in the evening, and not earlier in the day when I am more rested? -Denise in Texas #4 - 20:12 Q: Since I read your book, I do my best to stick to the 80/20 Principle, and do allow myself all of my favorite foods that I enjoy! But recently, my doctor determined that I am dealing with adrenal fatigue and I am wondering if adjusting my diet will help some. Are there certain foods I should avoid, and others I should be making sure to eat plenty of? I am desperate to feel better, and willing to tweak my 80/20 if that will help! -Valerie in Columbia #5: 22:26 Q: After struggling to conceive for several years, I am finally pregnant! I am so thankful, but became a little discouraged when I learned that it is possible I could pass my adrenal fatigue down to my child. Is this true, and is there any way to prevent it? -Karen in Tampa #6 - 24:32 Q: I have struggled with Adrenal Fatigue for the past year or so and the more I learn about it, I see that stress is a MAJOR factor in how I am feeling. I don’t want to take anxiety medicine, and quitting my job isn’t an option- do you have any suggestions for stress management? -Kate in Arizona #7 - 25:38 Q: I am excited to learn more about adrenal fatigue on your upcoming show- as someone who doesn’t know much about it, what are the most common symptoms that we should be aware of? -Jennifer in Louisiana #8 - 27:10 Q: My favorite thing about this podcast is that you are always introducing me to natural ways that I can cure my body. Which is good, because my Doctor won’t acknowledge Adrenal Fatigue as a real disorder, and says there is nothing he can do for me! What are some ways that I can combat it naturally? Are there any herbs or supplements that I can take? -Ashton in Charlottesville #9 - 29:54 Q: I have only ever met women who deal with adrenal fatigue, but I am finding out that there are men who struggle with it as well. Would you say that it is more prevalent in women? I am familiar with how it manifests in a woman, are the symptoms
