Adrenal Fatigue: What It Is and How to Treat It

Embraced by naturopaths, functional medicine, and anti‐aging doctors, does so-called adrenal fatigue even exist?

40 Risposte a “Adrenal Fatigue: What It Is and How to Treat It”

  1. As if Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is some kind of better explanation? It isn't a disease, just as adrenal fatigue isn't a disease. Basically it means you are stressed out.

    And btw if you think EMF sensitivity is not real then you should read some of the hundreds of studies showing it is. One book collecting many of these is The Invisible Rainbow, by Arthur Firstenberg. My sister has this sensitivity and she cannot put a laptop on her lap. She can't have a wifi router in the house, everything needs to be plugged in. Air gap headphones, etc. I also have a friend who died recently who had such bad EMF sensitivity that he had to live 10 miles away from any power lines or cell towers in order to not be in severe constant pain. He got this way due to working in electronics and getting exposed to too much copper.

  2. Long term stress and depression is the main cause of cortisol hormone… or you caj say over all health..me too suffering from lots of trauma including financially emotionally family career health ..dont know what will happen..but keep struggling myself

  3. CFS and Fibro are also symptoms based diagnoses. There is no known mechanical cause for either “disease”. They are merely a set of real symptoms. It won’t be until body doctors stop separating the mind, emotions, and relational and environmental context of patients as a valuable contributor to their body’s health, that any “cause” for these symptoms can be identified. The body is not a discreet or separate entity, but an ecology, contiguous with the world around it.

  4. The whole "not surprised they are saying that because they sell suplements" works just as well against Nutrition facts who sell books to remedy issues they identify.
    Surely you care less about faith in stories than this and more just about claims of science being done?

  5. You didn't mention ways to treat it. Just that the current methods and understanding of the condition is wrong, harmful and filled with snake oil salesmen. I'd hope a more accurate title for these types of videos "What is Adrenal Fatigue? Mistaken condition filled with lies and charlatans?" something like that, then the next video would be about finding ways to treat it with whatever methods you have found to be clinically working.

  6. The worst thing is that corticosteriod treatment, e.g., with hydrocortisone, can lead to permanent atrophy of the adrenal glands. Those patients then need to take the hormones for life.

  7. THANK YOU!!! PLZ do one on those fake colon cleanses and mucoid plaques that is all over the internet. My poor hubby bought a parasite cleanse 😅😢😢😢😢😢😢

  8. EMF is real. Most are not that sensitive because they live in it and are bombarded by all day and all night. Go to area where there is no 4-5g towers, And no frequencies. Stay there for about 2 weeks and then come back into it. You will see how real it is. You will definitely experience it, you will be tired, headaches and feel sick for 2-4 days.

  9. But don’t forget there was a time when chronic fatigue syndrome was said to be a made up, nonexistent condition.

  10. Remember that time that Big Suplmenta made 38 Billion dollars off of a product designed for a disease that could only be diagnosed with a PCR test which was cranked up so high to make it irrelevant? Or when they lobbied to keep their documents and studies hidden from the public for 75 years.? So that no one could see the safety data? Or how about the time they convinced the government to give them complete immunity from any damage their products cause while simultaneously supporting laws that mandate everyone to take their products? We need to trust the science and not listen to those powerful supplement companies.

  11. I don’t know if adrenal fatigue is real or not, but I know chronic stress for a long period of time can ruin a person for life. I’ve seen it happen. The person operated on adrenaline for so long, that once the stress was taken away or reduced, the body can’t function without it. Now the person can barely handle any stress at all and if they do one thing a day, they are exhausted. So something is going on. Call it burnout if you want. It’s something to do with the stress hormones because the person was high achieving on those stress hormones for a long time. Now it’s like the body has trouble producing the energy it needs to do basic things in life. And the big stressor ended years ago. As far as I understand, this is what is referred to as adrenal fatigue. So if that condition isn’t real, then tell me, what is this condition and how how do you fix it?

  12. From a nutritional stand point there is such a thing as adrenal fatigue caused by stress and lack of proper nutrition and it can be helped with nutritional improvement, lifestyle stress management and supplements but not using hormones. I agree with this video there and do not recommend taking hormones unless absolutely necessary and with a doctor but i do believe your adrenal glands can experience imbalance and benefit from nutrition and mental health support.

  13. Sorry Doc , as an Aircraft Engineer i do not agree on the standpoint that Oversensitivity for Radiation does not exist. Some kinds of radiation from trunking systems do affect health in a great way . And i was a victim of it because i work in a high density radioactive environment . For mobile phones the chances are lower ..but they are there . But testing it in a lab on 2000 individuals would not let it be detected … great for the mobile phone industry …. but not for humans. So please can you leave that last part out please . Y will hurt a lot of oversensitive individuals ….and you are quite wrong to do so.

  14. And please load up on fresh vegetables to feed your mitochondria whatever the diagnosis or nondiagnosis especially cruciferous, and also ground flax or chia for omega 3s and clean water for building healthy cells 🥦❤ Look to Dr. Brooke Goldner's free protocol online Goodbye Lupus Goodbye Autoimmune reversing disease with good groceries. Realize many autoimmune symptoms may show up years before the labs will allow a diagnosis including pain and fatigue; body is hollering for better nutrition. Please take care of you and feel better soon. 🥦❤

  15. As a person who was diagnosed with Addison's disease, thank you for this video! I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome until I ended up in the intensive care unit with profound electrolyte derangement and acute adrenal crisis. Claims of adrenal fatigue cause confusion, prompt unnecessary and potentially harmful "treatments," and prevent people from finding out the actual cause of their symptoms. Additionally, because of the way the term "adrenal fatigue" is thrown around, people take the very real disease of adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), which is life-threatening without proper treatment, less seriously.

  16. I would like to know if you have seen anything about fish oil containing a better type of omega fatty acid than flax seeds. Dr. Nicole LePera says in her book that they are different and the omegas from fish act differently on the nervous system, in a way that is beneficial to the people who suffer from high levels of psychological stress.
