Adrenal Fatigue
Cortisol is the essential stress hormone that rises in response to stress. But prolonged excessive stress can lead to adrenal fatigue causing dysregulated cortisol levels, causing fatigue, brain fog, food cravings , poor stress tolerance, weight gain and sleep disturbances.
Diagnosis involves salivary or urinary cortisol testing, assessing DHEA, thyroid function, and nutrient deficiencies.
A functional approach focuses on stress management, balanced nutrition, and targeted supplementation. Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and rhodiola, along with a nutrient-dense diet, proper sleep, and mindfulness techniques, support adrenal recovery. Addressing gut health, inflammation, and blood sugar balance further restores energy and overall well-being.
