I just read a great article on this topic Dr Carolyn Porter where she talks about this ever increasing condition adrenal fatigue.
She gives a great background starting from the Pituitary Gland the master gland and working her way down, discussing hormones , diets, what to do get past the issues. The good news is you can beat adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia!
“Let’s quickly review the symptoms of adrenal fatigue. They are often:
♦ Fatigue
♦ Insomnia
♦ Weight gain, especially around the waist and abdomen
♦ Constipation
♦ Mild depression
♦ Morning sluggishness
♦ Dry skin and hair
♦ Anxiety and nervousness
♦ Arthritis
♦ Low body temperature
♦ Reduced sex drive
♦ Numerous other symptoms
To sum it all up…
Balance your hormones…
Release old beliefs and patterns that are hurting you…
Heal your relationships – forgiveness heals you and the other person…
Replace old programming with positive thoughts and attitudes…
Reduce stress by changing how you respond to your stressors…
Exercise – whatever you like to do – just do it…
Reduce or eliminate sugar, alcohol and caffeine…
Enjoy life. Focus on the good in your life…
