So if you have adrenal fatigue and you've been working on the adrenals forever and it's

not resolving, it could be something else.

It could be your liver. And that is because the body has other sources of cortisol.

In other words, your liver can make cortisol. Some of the immune cells can activate cortisol.

Your gonads can make cortisol. Your central nervous system can make cortisol.

So the more the liver is damaged, the less adrenal hormones you're going to have available.

And the symptoms for that could be a low tolerance to stress. You can't handle stress,

low immune system, having more inflammation, more fatigue, less sleep. You have insomnia.

Now with the liver, there's a protein called cortisol binding globulin.

And 75% of all your cortisol on your body is locked up with this thing right here.

Another name for it is called trancecortin. And so it's like your backup reserve, right?

Well, the more the liver is damaged, the less you have of this. And this leads to a lower amount

of adrenal hormones. And so when you have lower amount of adrenal hormones,

you get more of these symptoms like allergy, inflammation, skin issues, asthma,

which then forces you to take a synthetic type of cortisol called prednisone.

Which then has side effects of a fatty liver, which then give you more of these symptoms,

which increases the need for more of this. There's some serious side effects from prednisone,

increasing glucose in your blood, even triggering diabetes, fat liver, increase high blood pressure,

increase belly fat. These are the same symptoms as high insulin because prednisone is a glucose

corticoid. It actually causes your proteins to turn into glucose as one of the side effects.

And of course, the high glucose then causes the blood sugar issues. So if you've been working

on your adrenals for a long period of time, and it's not being solved, realized it could be the liver,
