Cracking the Case of Chronic Fatigue and Adrenal Burnout!
Do you know any of the thousands of people who suffer from constant fatigue that doesn't seem to be relieved by rest or sleep? This is a principle symptom of adrenal exhaustion or adrenal burnout. The adrenal glands are critically important to the human body to protect itself from the destructive effects of acute and chronic stresses. Hormones produced by these glands help balance blood pressure and blood sugar and stimulate energy production at the cellular level. If these glands become exhausted, the body no longer handles stress efficiently, contributing to physical, mental and emotional symptoms. It should be noted that adrenal function is not isolated. It works intimately with other glands and organs.
Hormone balance is essential to health. Various cycles of the body are regulated by hormones - such as, the sleep cycle, menstrual cycle and digestive cycle. Anything that disturbs hormone production or communication feedback, may alter important body functions and contribute to glandular exhaustion.
Red flags suggesting adrenal exhaustion may include energy dips during the day with cravings for caffeine or carbohydrates to rev up, frequent sensations of swinging emotions or vulnerability, disrupted sleep patterns, stubborn weight gain even with dieting and exercise, or chronic pain and inflammation, just to name a few. See the end of this article for an extended list of adrenal-related symptoms*.
What causes adrenal burnout? An important contribution is excess stress, which can come from multiple sources. Physical sources include chemical toxins from the environment affecting our water, food and air. Nutritional deficiencies can also be created from the dietary intake of excess sugars, carbohydrates and other stimulants. Some suggest that the synthetic hormones that come to us by way of animal products, drugs or even certain foods, may influence the hormone control systems. Mental and emotional stresses offer their contributions as well.
Adrenal burnout could be considered a degenerative breakdown of the body's energy system - a system that is essential to health. Symptoms of adrenal exhaustion are a wake up call. Recovery from burnout requires careful evaluation and support to restore health. At Wellness Innerlink we specialize in helping patients handle the symptoms of adrenal exhaustion by discovering and attending to the cause of the problem.
