What Is Adrenal Fatigue, and Is It Real?

Debunking the myths and explaining the science behind adrenal exhaustion.

Common Symptoms

People who suspect adrenal fatigue often report:

  • Morning fatigue despite sleeping
  • Afternoon energy crashes
  • Craving salty or sweet foods
  • Poor stress response
  • Brain fog

Why It's Controversial

Conventional medicine says adrenal glands don't 'burn out' as claimed. But science confirms that chronic stress alters cortisol rhythm, which may mimic symptoms of fatigue and burnout.

    How to Support Adrenal Health

    Reduce stress load through:

    • Balanced meals with adequate protein and fat
    • Adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola
    • Regular sleep and circadian rhythm alignment
    • Reducing stimulants like caffeine

    Adrenal fatigue is a term used to describe a set of symptoms like chronic tiredness, body aches, sleep disturbances, and low motivation—often blamed on overworked adrenal glands. While not officially recognized by conventional medicine, functional health experts believe chronic stress disrupts adrenal hormone rhythms, particularly cortisol. Whether you call it 'adrenal fatigue' or 'HPA axis dysfunction', the solution lies in lifestyle correction, nutrition, and stress support.
