So if you would have asked me if I knew what adrenal fatigue was two years ago

I would have been like what adrenal what as I was like chugging my double shot lattes every day every afternoon

But I have said learned what adrenal fatigue was I at one point last year was working with the dietitian and

She requested or suggested that I do a Dutch test just to get an idea of where my hormones were and different things like that

And so anyways, we ordered one. It's an at home test. It's a dry urine test and the results came back and turned out based off of where my cortisol levels were and how they were

reflected in the patterns she basically told me you have

signs of pretty severe adrenal fatigue and

It made complete sense because I had been sleeping a lot and I was just irritable and there were multiple things that just weren't myself

So I asked her to explain more about what that was and you know

I basically kind of got when when she told me that I was like, oh that could explain why I've not even felt rested after even sleeping for 10

11 12 hours

That's why I felt really with arctic. That's why I've been irritable

That's why I've kind of been probably a little bit disengaged. I was just feeling kind of like me about everything

If you ever felt just like me that could be a sign of burnout

And I didn't know that at the time. I

At least that burnout was when you were like

Forassled and craze, but I think that's actually from what I've learned now. That's like pre burnout

And so in this episode I want to share what I wish I would have known before hitting complete and total burnout

And how I could have maybe supported my adrenals my stress levels my wellness my mental health all that a little bit better before hitting the point of just

My adrenals completely burning out in my entire

Body just being like no, we're done. We're done here

So if you are a hard worker if you have been through big life change if you are walking through a season of grief or hardship
