What is Adrenal Fatigue?
You have been to the doctors several times complaining about headaches, muscle soreness and just in general feeling blah.

Chances are you have some degree of adrenal fatigue, but the doctor never looks for it. Instead they tell you it's a part of aging or your low on iron or the best is "you have a little virus". The health care system is broken and you have to take extra measures for yourself.

Above each kidney is a small quarter sized gland called the adrenals. They have three layers and basically balance your cortisol levels for energy conversion and stress. Generally, the two inner layers are not affected.

Adrenal stress can occur from toxins, injury, viruses or stress. There is till no concrete cause, but these are the common ones in print. Continuing to fight against the lack of energy just makes it worse. What your body is telling you is for whatever reason your not running on all cylinders.

You can have a simple stimulation test and cortisol measurement test to check your adrenal function levels. These are not expensive tests and should be covered by insurance. The stories of people going on for years with this complaint, then finally running out of gas, some at a early age, are numerous. Just as numerous are doctors that don't look for this cause.

You can have numbness in your feet and hands, or a constant weak flu like feeling that is always there. This can be cured, here are a few things to do (you can guess some already)

1. Reduce Stress
2. Sleep
3. B-Complex supplement
4. Extra dosages of B-5

Nutrition and sleep, exercise is not included, only lite until your glands are built back up to par.
