Adrenal Exhaustion

Did you know your constant lack of energy could be caused by something serious? 

Do you have trouble moving in the morning without a heavy dose of caffeine?  Or you can’t keep going during the day without still more caffeine?  The problem might not be your hectic schedule and lack of sleep. You could be suffering from adrenal exhaustion, a consequence of our stress-filled 21st century lives.

You have two adrenal glands, each located at the top of your kidneys. They release a variety of hormones that help maintain biological balance in response to stress. The more stress you experience, the harder your adrenal glands work to protect you. When stress is chronic the body ramps up production of cortisol, which helps buffer against the stress.

Adrenal exhaustion develops when the body can no longer make sufficient amounts of cortisol, leading to fatigue. Over the long run, adrenal exhaustion can weaken your body’s response to bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitical infections AND increase your risk of cancer. Supplements that can help with adrenal exhaustion are B-Complex which are anti-stress nutrients and Vitamin C which makes adrenal hormones.

Take the best care of your body.
