Adrenal Fatigue

While adrenal fatigue is not an official medical diagnosis, it is a real bodily phenomenon that can produce negative side effects. The adrenal glands pump out cortisol, which is the “stress” hormone and regulates your body’s stress response. When the adrenal glands pump out excess cortisol for long periods of time, the gland becomes fatigued. 

Symptoms include feeling tired all day, appetite changes, weight loss/gain, nausea, depression, and more. Chronic stress is a leading factor in adrenal fatigue and will only worsen if not treated by a medical professional.
