Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Today I'm going to talk about some simple home tests that you can do to determine if you may have adrenal fatigue.

Now, I'm going to tell you right up front, medically, they don't recognize adrenal fatigue.

You know, they do recognize that there are adrenal dysfunction diseases like

Addison's disease where your body's not producing any more adrenal hormones. On the flip side,

you have Cushing's disease, which you're pumping out a lot of cortisol. So it's a hyper-cortersol

situation. But my question is, why can't you have different problems in between? You don't just

one of the reasons it's very hard to diagnose because it doesn't show up on a blood test. So since

the adrenal glands are intimately involved with the autonomic nervous system, I'm going to show you

several tests that you can do at home to kind of get a clue on what's going on with your autonomic nervous system. And I'm going to show you several tests that you can do at home to kind of get a clue on what's going on with your

autonomic nervous system. And I'm talking about the sympathetic nervous system, which is the flood of fight,

and then the parasympathetic nervous system, which is rest and digest. And so first let's just

mention the symptoms with adrenal fatigue. Okay. You have insomnia. That's a big one.

You have dizziness when you stand up too fast. You have brain fog. You have low tolerance to stress.

You cannot tolerate stress as well as you used to. You might have low lefido. You may have

allergies or asthma. Your immune system is poor. You may get sick easily because your resistance is

on the low side. You may have inflammation because when you run out of the adrenal function,

you lose those powerful anti-inflammatories and then you end up with

inflammatory condition. So anything that saysitis is an inflammatory condition. And you may have
