Stressed Out? Tired? You Might Have Adrenal Fatigue.

Has stress become a part of your everyday life?  Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning and rely on coffee to get you through the day?  If your answer is “yes,” then you could be suffering from adrenal fatigue.

Adrenal fatigue is a common health problem that Americans face today.  Unfortunately, most of them are unaware that this could be the cause of their symptoms because their doctor never brought it up as a possibility.  Like hypothyroidism, it is a common condition that is overlooked by conventional medicine, and many doctors deny that adrenal fatigue is even real!  But we know better.

Signs that you have Adrenal Fatigue:

  • Severe fatigue/chronic fatigue
  • Prolonged stress
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Hair loss
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing
  • Recurrent infections
  • Allergies and/or asthma
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Infertility
  • Low libido
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
  • Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  • Heart palpitations
  • Difficulty “bouncing back” from stress
  • Cold and heat intolerance
  • Depression
  • Headaches

What is “Adrenal Fatigue,” anyway?

Adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenal glands cannot produce enough cortisol to meet the demands of your body.  In short, you are wearing your adrenal glands out, so you feel increasingly fatigued, stressed, anxious, and many other health conditions may occur as a result.

Low cortisol is associated with and is a cause of fatigue. (1) Research suggests that there are several potential associations between daily cortisol production, fatigue, and pain. It shows that low cortisol underlies symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. (2)

Causes of Adrenal Fatigue

Chronic, unrelenting stress, whether physical or psychological or both, eventually leads to adrenal fatigue.  It can also occur after acute or chronic infections such as the flu, bronchitis or pneumonia.  In today’s fast-paced world, the stress that many people experience on a daily, ongoing basis is a contributing factor. Stressors may include noise, pollution, traffic, inclement weather, injuries, illnesses, emotional conflicts, deadlines and inadequate sleep.

Cortisol is Your Friend!

Cortisol is your naturally occurring stress hormone.  Without it, you literally could not survive.  Physiological levels of cortisol are essential for good health as it boosts your immune system, increasing resistance to infections and inflammation. Cortisol is also important in promoting the assimilation of both thyroid and sex hormones by the cells of your body. Research concludes that quality of life in Addison patients (who produce too little cortisol) is improved with cortisol replacement therapy. (3)

Chronic stress can take a severe toll on your health.  At Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we differentiate ourselves by emphasizing the importance of properly diagnosing and treating this common but often misdiagnosed problem: adrenal fatigue.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
