Wired and Tired: Fixing Adrenal Burnout
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- You have likely heard the term “adrenal fatigue.” We commonly associate this term with the feelings of extreme fatigue, hormonal dysregulation, and other physical symptoms that can occur from chronic stress. More accurately, we can look to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis for the cause of these discomforts. If you have chronic stress, your adrenals get beat up, and your energy plummets and it becomes difficult to manage your life. You could feel tired and wired, all at the same time. All these are clues that you could have an imbalance of your HPA axis.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss the signs of HPA axis dysfunction and how to support your HPA axis to reverse burnout. They also share patient cases that they have treated.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices functional medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the functional medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.

During the pandemic I started "birding" / bird watching because I was bored. Thanks to that, I am now outside in my spare time, no matter what weather or season it is. It has helped me so much to handle the stress my job causes. Being outside in nature, moving my body and seeing the beauty of the world where is literally the best thing for me personnaly. I really don't wanna miss it.
I agree with this. Because of long covid I started going out to the backyard to put my bare feet on the earth & lay my legs in the sun and I discovered a world of beauty, healing and relaxation out there. Now everyday I visit the world of the apple tree, the weather, the blue jays, the toads, the wasps & the squirrels just because the diversity is so soothing.
Bird watching is so fun💗They are so interesting, relaxing and fun to watch.
As a mental health counselor I recognize the symptoms you are discussing are also symptoms people experience when they have complex trauma, especially when this trauma goes unresolved. This is because the body, physiologically, is in a constant state of fear and stress. It really fits with what you are talking about as well as Polyvagal Theory.
They may line up with the same symptoms because in trauma the adrenals are hugely impacted! So adrenals and trauma go together.
How can one resolve trauma, conscious or not it ? (when it happened in childhood and have no memories about it...).
@@joannad8047 There are therapeutic methods such as EMDR and IFS (which I use) to process childhood trauma in a mental and effective way. However, there is mounting evidence that before most counseling therapies can be effective, we have to regulate the internal physical state of someone who experienced traumatic childhood events. This is because of the strong mind, body, neurology connection. Trauma, especially repeated childhood trauma, actually causes you body to live in a state of fear. Here, a wholistic approach is very effective at processing childhood trauma.
@@davidrickman6334 I'm a counseling student and came across this same info recently. So how do counselors help clients regulate their bodies first if we aren't medical professionals?
@@HappyinJesus Good morning. I hope you are enjoying your grad program. I use guided meditation exercises for calming, psycho education to help clients understand their physical state and trauma reactions, and some EMDR resourcing to help (such as Safe Space and Safe Container). I default to IFS for trauma processing because it is actually more "gentle" than EMDR.
Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus said .
“ Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”❤
I am recovering from adrenal fatigue and God used this to change my heart. He showed me how much of unnecessary things I put on myself. How important it is to be giving Him my burdens , spend time with Him and rest in Him. I am grateful for this journey because I got to know God better ❤
Hallelujah! Praise the LORD!!
That's beautiful.
First cut out caffeine, nicotine and edrephine(stimulants) and then supplement with vitamin B5, vitamin c with all the bioflavionoids(not only ascorbic acid). Combine this with adoptgenic herbs, for example ashgawanda or licorice root. Best luck.
Sorry for my English.
@Tweed Penguin licorice root is very good for the adrenals. Only overconsumption of it can deplete potassium.
Spot on .
Your English is great and, better than many natives. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Many of us are stuck in the fight or flight loop with anxiety. LIfe has changed so much since the pandemic and we spend too much time scrolling on our phones. We isolate or work at home. We have burnout right now or chronic health problems. We just want to stay in bed.
I just got done exercising on my mini trampoline while listening to this! I set my timer for 20 minutes and it’s a great workout at home! Praise the LORD for this information and my ability to be able to use my mini trampoline! Thank you for the great info and video! 🙏❤️🙏
Being a nurse, that's what we do. Take care of others. But also the medical system forces us to work when we are ill.
Thank you for your help and care for those folk that sick and need you.
Was thinking this as well. So many first responders dealing with the same symptoms and not knowing what to do when most docs don’t believe or understand what we are telling them!
It’s interesting that people refer to meditation, yoga and reiki and all sort of different ways of healing but they never talk about prayer which is above all those methods of relaxation and healing, when you’re meditating on God’s attributes and connect with Him and feel His love pouring out on you. The sweet, sweet presence of God!!!
The more I study the causes of these problems and the things that work best to heal, the more I see the things that heal lead back to God…
Such as the nervous system needing to feel safe and at peace, and how He gives us peace that passes understanding (yes, even in spite of the traumas which often seem to be at the root of these problems)
I praise my God who heals! 🙌🏻
Amen
Amen! There is even scientific evidence that worshipping God is way more effective than doing meditation, yoga etc.
I completely agree 💯
Because god doesn’t exist
I feel like this is exactly what I have after a decade of very stressful events. Trying to find someone to treat it creates more stress.
Pray God is your father friend ! Bible verses!
I understand you, Michael 100%.
I’ve been married for 10 years, so I know how you feel. I’m about to crash and/or explode.

Wish I heard this podcast 4-5 years ago. It took my doctors 4 years to diagnosed me with adrenal insufficiency and only happen after I went to see a functional medicine doctor.
may I asked how it was diagnosed , blood test ? or salivary tests?
@@samar3634 my guess is it was a saliva test. There’s a four point saliva test for checking cortisol levels. Blood is not as good.
Are you fully recovered?
How are you feeling now? what medication did you give you?
Hi Katia, I have severe weight loss, and low cortisol. Do you think low cortisol is the cause? Can I ask how you improved? Many thanks☀️
I have drinked coffee when i was 16. I'm now 32. I drank atleast 3-5 cups a day. I had so bad burnout that when i drank coffee i literally started to feel dizzy. When the burnout showed some really bad symptoms i had high blood pressure, high HR. I had really bad anxiety and my heart was palpating like crazy non stop. I just had to quit coffee cold turkey after all these years. I was on a long sick leave when i basically just slept and slept. I'm still recovering and i feel exhausted but i'm much better. I eat much healtier and try to REST as much possible and i try to keep my body calm. I've moved from weight lifting to yoga, pilates and walking. So after i stopped the coffee i wanted to test it after a long time. After just one cup i had SO bad anxiety and my HR went up drastically and i started to sweat. Even on the evening i felt like i couldn't sleep. I didn't believe how bad symptoms I got from JUST ONE CUP! Now I understand what kind of poison it really is for me and I learned that i've abused my body with it all these years. I still love the taste and smell of coffee but i moved to chicory from regular coffee.
You can have decaf coffee but not any decaf. Swiss water processed coffee is good and Whole Foods has it. I get it from there.
@@margokupelian344 I live in Finland. I do drink decaf time to time now.
Yago is opening up the door satan! The poses ! Everything g else is good ! Open door false Gods ! I know I did it trying to help my body how ever I did not justice our Lord an savior save me from yago !
@@margokupelian344 ..coffee is poison. Get your antioxidant from other food sources.
I suffered same. Coffee is poison., damaged my G.I .but I was addicted because of long use.
Took charge of my health back...very seriously. Now I'm in good condition. Mental good state etc.
You can do it, even better.
My heartfelt thank you both for all you do
It feels good to have someone acknowledge the multiple realities of our world today. Most act as if this is normal, therefore, we should simply ignore everything collapsing around us. Thank you for addressing peoples unspoken fears and needs. ❤❤
We need more doctors like you two in the world, that’s for sure!
This is golden! Thank you!! I have only one adrenal gland left due to cortisol- producing benign tumor.
Wish modern medicine would find a way and remove just a mass without removing the tumor and adrenal gland together!
Mark...it seems you are such a great person. I enjoy you. When u laugh, u make me laugh. Great great information always with a topping of you. Very easy to listen. Thank you
These videos are a treasure trove of information to help people to help themselves. Thank you to the team at Ultra Wellness Centre
This was absolutely brilliant to listen to. I swear you were talking about me. Clearly I need to do some work on myself. Thank you, thank you.
Welcome to your own show, Mark. Glad you interview yourself and let your guest speak once in a while
LoL. This is a conversation, not so much an interview 😍
Excellent. Always very informative.
There was some study showing that small amounts of melatonin can work almost as well as anxiety medication . I've been taking half of a gummy each night and it has been making me feel 10 years younger
I have no idea why, but some people react terribly to melatonin. I so wish I could benefit the way others do but it just makes me feel drugged and then anxious. It's kinda like the feeling of fighting benadryl with added anxiety. If I can even fall asleep, I'll soon be jolted awake into a panic. I also react terribly to ashwaghanda and the whole olive tree(fruit, leaf, oil)🤷♀️ im glad it works for you, im just putting this here in case someone tries it, feels worse and then blames something else.
@@pocasanchezfor me, everything is flipped on its head in the presence of caffeine. can't take ashwagandha or many other adaptogens when on regular coffee.
@@pocasanchez Yeah, melatonin makes me tired as heck the next day and makes me weird in the head
It gets me headache 🤕
@@davethepants what happens when you take ashwanganda
I’m 58 and currently in therapy for ptsd and EMDR. I’ve had 7 sessions and can say it is incredibly helpful to process the trauma that was repressed from my childhood. One of the biggest challenges has been muscle pain in between my shoulders and that is back to normal. Now fatigue is my biggest issue. Thank you for this information.
I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from ptsd as well. My frnd recommended a psychologist but I'm super scared to go. Do you think psychologists can help equally as much as psychiatrists?
@@wanderlust1334 I would focus on trauma specialist - my therapist is a licensed professional counselor that has EMDR training. I’m sure either professional you mentioned would be great as well.
@@faithisrising okay thanks.
@@wanderlust1334Yes, a trained psychotherapist is great. Find one who is trained in Trauma healing and EMDR is very helpful. Best wishes!
I have shoulder pain on my right side. Did therapy help that?
Fantastic episode with some great tips and information!
Thank you for this, I found this a very clear introduction to this topic. I’m recently discovered to have abnormal levels of testosterone and cortisol and a few other hormones via a blood test and being referred to an endocrinologist and struggling to understand the underlying mechanisms and what this all means and how it tied together. I am someone that can never relax so I am convinced thst chronic stress and chronically elevated cortisol levels are to blame for my condition
You may check on Zinc supplements
for your low level of testosterone
As someone who had accumulated stress over time, EMDR therapy was very helpful to process developmental trauma. I think there isn’t enough emphasis on the physiological stresses that can be at least as impactful as the psychological traumas. For me, my breast implants created a allergic immune system response to the chemical adhesives. This put my body in a chronic state of emergency for years. I had them removed after trips to the ER showed no signs of any other reason for all the adrenal burnout symptoms with inability to take a deep breath…chest pressure. I had great relief over the last 6 months but slowly the adrenal burnout fatigue became more intense. It will take much longer than I thought to heal as I had no idea about adrenal burnout. I really do have a healthy peaceful lifestyle.
How long did u do EMDR therapy?
@@michellewalter2734 The EMDR portion lasted about 6 months. Total therapy time with last a little over a year.
I had my implants removed in March, I was feeling so much better. Now I’m fatigued again. I think my job working at computer is affecting me, I put in my notice.
Great explanation on how chronic stress affects our physical and mental health. Thank you!
Thank you Doctors!! So thankful to be able to find these conversations when we are struggling with all the symptoms!! God bless functional Doctors!😊❤️😊
PHENOMENAL. I cannot thank you all enough for this podcast. I am a licencsed massage therapist who also has Addisons. This helped me phenomenally. From a personal level as well as helped me remember my work is vital in wellbeing and Healthcare. This, by far, has been the best explanation of adrenal fatigue and the inner workings. THANK YOU.
How are you feeling. I have addison's disease also. Everyday is a struggle physically and mentally..
So my adrenal fatigue was caused by massive stress related to financial distress, a narcissistic bully at work who was hell bent on having me fired and losing my dream. Not because I didnt eat well.
After getting out of an abusive relationship and suffering complex problems with my biliary system on top as well as being a single mother, I'm on burnout. Literally flat on my back, unable to move. It's so frustrating and upsetting.
I hope you will find the right help for you. Take good take care of yourself. Mindfulness is a great tool you can use everyday. Meditation and breath work. And have self compassion and you can work your way through.
Sophie, I am praying for you , hope you have found good advisors, try a functional doctor and find someone who will pray with you and support you spiritually . may God hold you in His hand.
Wow this has been so helpful thankyou so much finally I got answers thought I was suffering alone
Good video, please have someone tracking the topics so nothing is missed. The reason i came to youtube from IG to watch this video was about the food. The stressors and non stressors. Thanks.
Great information!
So so interesting!
Having Addison's, I can't help but roll in the aisles with this kind of videos.
SAI here and in the same aisle.
It’s funny when you say we will take people off coffee but when it comes to alcohol take it in moderation
Isn’t one a nervous system stimulant while the other is a depressant? Neither is good. But it seems the stimulant is directly pushing the adrenals like a gas pedal
Drink pure water with magnesium sulphate or chloride, 1tsp per 10 litres or a heaped soup spoon to a gallon. Daily intake 4-5 litres..drink like a horse and piss like a stallion/mare , strengthens the bladder and reduces chance of infection.
Loved the talk; she also reminded me of Myrel Streep's daughter!
16:19 this is refreshing and I can relax that day meaning these people know that stress kills....
Been dealing with Adrenal Fatigue on and off for 11 years. Being a musician performer working in the studio for 20 hours at a time makes it really hard to heal from Adrenal fatigue. Today was one week recovering from a crash, five days off of caffeine. I got the worst headache ever so I had to do an espresso or I was going to just die. 😮
Adrenal fatigue when it gets really bad is a nightmare.
The thing about it is, you think you have all this cool energy after you get better working out at the gym and doing all the stuff we do in life and little do you know you are actually operating off of pure cortisol and adrenaline then all the sudden you just crash.
And guess what you have to start all over again. This has been my life for 11 years.
Take adrenal cortex and vitamin c to help you adrenal.....some of us need to take hydrocortisone for a while.
@@organicfireorganicfire1236 how bad were your symptoms?
I heard that the nutrients we uptake from whole foods is only 10% of what it should be because Monsanto depleted the soils and poisoned the food
Spot on!!!
nickalexander, you are correct its not exaggeration, its very true.
The share about the nurse was almost spot on my experience, eye was diagnosed in 2008, not my doc didnt go into it the what's and hows, eye was able to get on disability
Also diagnosed with cptsd, mpd, grew up from 3 to 14 in a sex pedophile cult. The burn out is finally lifting a little, maybe twice a week eye can step outside.. ride the bike. Mostly eye stay inside, eyev started microdosing psilocybin twice a week, that's helped some. Eye didnt know at the begining what my diagnosis was, burnout until a few years. Thank you so much.
I'm so sorry about your childhood.Bless you.
Thank you so much
Thank you for the talk. When I had loe adrenal function and had to go to work I consumed very strong green tea and a couple of potatoes. It got me going and was able to function. Also bladderwrack in liquid form was very good. It activates the thyroid which then kicks in the adrenals
Wow what a great informative video ! As someone who has fought COVID 3 times 2020-2021/2022 i almost died twice, i was very sick and constantly in and out of the hospital with no help or answers at times. And to add on before the pandemic I was going through parent death and my mothers abuse and abandonment, i went all through this as a 14 year old girl with no therapy or professional help and now I’m 21, because of the pandemic and quarantine the stress has only added on. I’m taking my health into my own hands this year and I’m very much sure I’m dealing with chronic adrenal fatigue. I’m looking into a few great supplements , my diet habits have already drastically changed and just maintaining active oh yea and getting therapy because it won’t hurt to ! 🙌
You are doing great and I'm so so proud of you. To survive maternal abandonment and severe illnesses at your age is truly heroic. You'll look back at these trying times a couple years from now and it will remind you of your true strength that you can overcome anything. Keep going, change your lifestyle, toxic people around you, get counseling, keep on running! Hugs.
@@abartha2010 Thank you so much. Those words of encouragement mean everything to me ! I can feel this inner strength in me brewing and becoming unstoppable by the day. I will achieve anything I set me mind to. ❤️
I am going thru severe stress too and hope you will be ok.
I find sitting outdoors for a few hours helps hugely. Sitting with the nature helps our health. If you hv real friends to talk to its the best, but also hv to watch out as some people may take advantage when we are at the weak point.
Good "activated vit B", good whole vit c, d3 zinc etc are important. Perhaps cud follow doctor Berg at TH-cam.
Any muscle pain
Wow, you are so amazing to have gone through so much at such a young age. I wish you good luck on your health journey and a happy life.
So good
Thank you! Colostrum has helped in digestion for me..
Rhodiola is excellent for the adrenals as well as Ashwaganda and holy basil 🌿
I’m hitting adrenal fatigue. I’ve been trying to get my house ready to sell. I sleep without a problem bcz I listen to soothing Christian audio books throughout the night. I own & run a stressful business. I’m single with an acre yard that I only take care of, I’m 57 and I have been in menopause since I was in my late 30s, I’m on HRT as well. I mainly do ok but I think that I underestimated how stressful moving would be being on my own. I have PTSD from childhood trauma, so when I get stressed I think it’s more than what it should be… Here lately it doesn’t matter how much coffee I drink I can’t get energy. I drink an electrolyte drink everyday & take vitamins. I’m mainly carnivore with a little fruit & a little veggies. This morning is when I it hit me that my adrenals are fatigued. I’ve been going right to sleep after work & not getting back up. As soon as I get feeling overwhelmed I get feeling like I need to take a nap. I’m going to stop drinking coffee & see how that goes. Thanks!
which audiobooks would you recommend? sounds like a really good idea
Yes. Which audio books please?
@@talulatree5297 TH-cam Christian audio books. I like so many to tell but one of my favs is The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan. He has a few books. My fav person to listen to is Charles Stanley on Podcast.
I download over 8 hrs of sermons so they play nonstop. His voice is very calming plus he has great messages! Right now I’m listening to the Bible, beginning to end.
Download the Bible, pick a version & make sure it has audio… I never listen to a voice that’s not calming! I find that putting my phone close to my ear works best or you can put headphones on if you got a sensitive partner or you’re trying to not hear them snore 😴 . I also turn the light all the way down & plug it in. God’s word is so peaceful so He helps me best! I hope this helps ya! 🙏
THANK YOU for this! I’ve had 3 pregnancies in 3 years. I’m burnt out. I am exhausted the second I wake up until about 8pm when I am too awake to sleep but all I want to do is sleep. I have a period in the morning where I feel like I’ve had espresso but I don’t take any caffeine so I think it’s cortisol. I need to get my bloodwork done
It sounds like you have high cortisol at night and low in the morning
You can test your salivary cortisol
In the morning should be between 3 and 9 (at 8 a.m.)
And before bed it should be less than 1, preferably like 0,20 so you can sleep
How do you test your cortisol by yourself at home?
The danger in treating adrenal fatigue wo a proper cortisol test is that symptoms of low cortisol can be the same symptoms as high cortisol frequently. Get tested before treating adrenals w anything other than a better diet.
I have fybro muscle pains so mine no w must be low morning cortisol mid range
This is what has happened to me and I can’t seem to get my doctors to get it. All they want to do is dispense drugs which I can’t take because I have bad reactions to them. I was sole caregiver to my husband for 7 years after he had a major stroke. I got only 2 weeks off every 6 months. When he passed away I nearly died myself from sheer exhaustion.
Please find a functional Dr!! My chiropractor was able to refer me to his friend who practices functional medicine. Love this type of CARE💕
I am so glad you are doing well. I know what you are going through.I to have Addison's disease, sle lupus, and diabetes insipidous, and the list goes on. Believe it or not my biggest problem is trying to figure out which one of my diseases are causing me a problem. I take 15mg of Hydrocortisone in am and 10mg Hydrocortisone at pm. I really don't know how to treat an adrenal crisis. The doctors her in Florida are absolutely 💯 terrible. I am so very proud of you it is not easy . Satan is going to need several pairs of tennis shoes to keep up with you!!!. God bless. Take care.
This is what happened to me 3 years ago and then a year later of unresolved stress and trauma I had Grave's disease.
How are u now?
I have all of the symptoms that you are talking about.. I did buy some Ashwagandha and Lemon Balm.. I have already been taking a B Complex and I used to take Magnesium (I will make sure that I get some more).. I do go skiing in the Mountains and I have to keep telling myself that it is more about getting out of the city than the actual skiing..
Not my account..addressing this issue..financial hardship and INEQUITY must be addressed..the poverty stricken suffer the MOST..inequity must be eradicated if we all want to heal
Yes, I feel that. I have zero energy all day long but certain times it's even worse (yes, worse). My Dutch test came back and I was diagnosed with adrenal dysfunction.
I took megadoses of benfotiamine for a couple of months along with lemon balm at night and did wonders for me.
@@zissler1what did the Benfotiamine do? Thanks!
@@tallchick1966 b1 helps you to sleep better at night, digest better, helps with anxiety, and it gives energy. benfotiamine is the fat soluble version of b1 and is more bio available.
@@zissler1I wanna hear about this too
Most positive I have adrenal dysfunction. What did the Dr prescribe to help you recover?
We need to be careful "prescribing" mindfulness. Read up on Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness to understand why. Think of "prescribing" mindfulness similarly to prescribing and antidepressant medication. Follow up regularly with the patient to make sure the medication is helping rather than not helping.
Through Functional Medicine, it was determined that I have plenty of cortisol/adrenalin in my bloodstream, but have cell resistance, such that it does not get into the cell, especially when really needed.
Wow, this sounds pretty remarkable!! How’d you go about correcting this issue??
@@johnp5174 functional medicine, Dr Joel Rosen, "adrenal fatigue ninja." Multiple lab tests including telemeres, DNA, wheat zoom, (I have a true allergy to wheat gluten, not just a sensitivity.) Hormone, thyroid, more than just TSH or T4 that regular doctors order-- many more to get a concise overall whole picture of everything, including methylation. Zoom visits as scheduled. (He is in Baton Rouge FL.) He has TH-cam videos and a FB page, etc. Lot's of supplements that are prescribed by him, and gotten through a specific nutriceutical lab-based store (on line.) Pretty phenomenal, but very expensive.
The nurse story sounds just like me but I am older 45 and on top going through perimenopause
with 2 kids and aging parents that need support. I asked for help but my doctor doesn't take it seriously. They just say drink more water and exercise. I have felt like my life is not valuable enough for the doctor to help me.
Look for a functional medicine practitioner conventional MDs don’t know this

Praying has been what worked for me.
God has saved me.

About 50 yrs ago we were born , we got a mom & a alcholic, 2 sisters & a Brother, we lost half of them , yrs ago , grew up without them , lost the rest because of nightmares from childhood that they hold on to , go figure, its how u get all beat up inside ! & i do mean all beat up ,! 💝
Are there any functional medicine doctors that take insurance? I’m having a really hard time. I’m 25 and my cortisol is completely tanked through the whole day.
Dr Hyman is there a way that my friend could use you as her doctor..there are no functional doctors down here that we know of…she has congestive heart problems and blood pressure ..if you know of a functional doc down here in arkansas
What about prayer? It is not the same thing as meditation. Meditation has you empty your mind prayer as you fill your mind with Hope from God.
LoL
NO. Meditation does not have you empty your mind.
Impossible to empty your mind.
Meditation helps you tune into who & what you are.
Yes I agree with you I do exactly that I prayed to Jehovah God and try to relax and pray for his Holy Spirit to help me lead me in a calm directive way to give me faith and help me to think positive and help me and my loved ones you’re absolutely right that is the best meditation is to pull your heart out to Jehovah God and ask for his help he can help us more than anyone through Jesus Christ amen🥰🙏🌅🦋💕
Dr Elizabeth has the same voice as Dr Mark !:)
Took my drs years. I just had saliva test. Low cortisol
I suffered from fatigue off and on for about 25 years but pretty much consistently for about 13-14 years..I tried 1000s upon 1000s of dollars in supplements..I finally decided to get guidance so I joined an energy recharge program with a practictioner I still completely trust..I felt worse the first 2 weeks but then I finally felt human--HOWEVER--this quickly turned into wired uncomfortable energy..then one night I woke up with what I know now was a terrible adrenaline rush that lasted about 3 hours..fine for a few days and then I would start to get that funny feeling during a meal..but not as bad as first episode. Fast forward about a week and I ate dinner and then bam--sent me into a 36 hour adrenaline rush..the worst symptom is all my muscles feel like they are going to cramp and I feel so weak..now I am getting them on and off..Going to my functional doctor tomorrow and I stopped the protocol after that 36 hour rush a week ago..so the program was too stimulating to my adrenals so I went from one end of the HPA axis to the other.. One sided nostril belly breathing in for 5 and out my mouth for 7 does help alot but not always..
Dr Hyman breaks it down at about 26 minutes! The domino effects of eating carbs and starches. This is great!
No in his example if the child had very small amounts of starch with protein it would have been better.
And that’s because the body doesn’t handle starch in the morning where cortisol is naturally high. If you have low glycemic carbs in the afternoon it helps lower cortisol.
The cabinetry in the background is the exact same cherry wood as my kitchen cabinetry….😂
So how do we get help with adrenal fatigue? I took a test that diagnosed me
14 minutes in and you haven't mentioned weight gain..one time i moved countries, houses, jobs and was treated poorly in the new country with 12 hour days 7 days a week and for years i didn't know what happened to me as i gained pounds steadily over years until i hit 20 pounds.

Please speak about the attentive use of psilocybin’s ’ NEGATIVE effect on bipolar and schizophrenic challenges.

I am not stressed and eat very healthy. What kind of chronic infection would it be and why not showing up in the numerous countless labs that I have done? I am suffering so with fatigue ,insomnia, weight gain, bloat, blurry vision, dizzy., no appetite. No one has been able to help regular or natural Dr. I pray everyday for a miracle.
Clostridia Bacteria Overgrowth. Get an Organic Acids Test from Great Plains Laboratory. You may need to see a Functional Medicine person to do this for you. It's not cheap unfortunately. Look for elevated HPHPA metabolites. It's essentially an infection that creates ongoing neurotoxins. Much different to C. Difficile or other more obvious Clostridia infections. It can occur after periods of chronic stress, unhealthy lifestyle, eating, alcohol etc. Requires antibiotics and probiotics. Therefore you need to see someone who knows about it.
You should also see a psychologist to cover off all bases. Stress can be invisible and happens when things in our life are in conflict with the authentic desires of our psyche or subconscious.
@@loganpower5861 Thanks I will discuss with My FMP. Something is going on, I am currently waiting on CIRS results for possible mold illness.
Did u travel to another country in the last few years? I seen a similar post on a different video that the person had similar symptoms and it ended up being some kind of pariste that attacks the Nervous system. What is your age bracket? I wish u good health
@@alexb8926 No travel, 61
SIBO
Just watching her talk drains my adrenals. Bad energy for exhausted people. I tried not watching, just listening but she sounds just like she gestures. It’s nerve wracking. Dr. Hyman is much easier to deal with.
What about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Is that connected to Adrenal Fatigue?
i have both lol. Diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency recently aswell.
Fibromyalgia, CFS and PTSD are all depleting cortisol.
How do you become a patient of your functional medicine cl8nic?
I wish they tested for stress hormones yearly. It creeps up unoticed. Or doctors just look at basic health when your exhausted. If we knew sooner we can stop the burn out. I am burnt out. It started last year. I went to the doctor then and was told I am ok. I just had to force testing while beibg told it will show up I am fine. I am now totally burnt out, and it could have been prevented.
I am now active epstein barr, and a touch low morning cortisol.
I just fired him.
PLEASE!!!
Do an in-depth podcast on high blood pressure! No one can figure this out!
dr John Bergman videos. btw most people with hbp are magnesium deficient.
Check for Hyperadrenergic POTS.
Do you have any advice for my situation. I had my morning cortisol checked and it was a 9. I had a 30lbs unintentional weight loss in a 5 month time frame. All other blood work has been normal. I had back to back panic attacks Jan-till about June. I dumped so much cortisol I believe. I’m scared of Addison’s disease but my blood work didn’t alert of Addison’s my doctor said. I have no symptoms just weight loss and low cortisol. What can I take to I’m tease my cortisol or make my body regulate it. I started drinking Licorice root tea and teaonjc I love my adrenals
This happened to me just work on your adrenals
Did I miss it or did they mention low free cortisol?
I did the Dutch test and it said my free cortisol was low.
Don’t drink coffee! It attacks the adrenals!
What about tea?
@@krb5099 green tea 🍵 is fine
@@YAS9112 no it’s not it’s got caffeine in it
My husband has an adrenal problem and he cannot tolerate coffee or normal (black) tea, but now and then green tea seems to be ok.
Finally someone who knows
Did she ever mention the food that we can eat?
What type of magnesium
Where are you located ,please?
I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency with a saliva test. I have text book symptoms. I was being treated. I moved out of state. The doctors here tell me that’s not how to diagnose and refuse to help me because I’m literally a whisker in normal range. There are days I can’t function. I am unable to live per se. No one in this state have a clue how to help me. 😢
Just had cortisol blood test at 7:40am. Result was 2.8. Primary Dr said, it's normal and ok. I have had almost every symptom mentioned in this video, for a couple years. Getting really frustrated.
Blood cortisol is not a good indicator bc most cortisol is bound only small percent is in blood. I got a saliva test after seeing a naturopath & reading tge book adrenal fatigue. Like & behold my cortisol via saliva test was low
2.8 is very low
Where can I access the longest list of carbs and proteins, and fats, and starches?
I need a very long list... to understand this correctly, PLEASE!
Some veggies are carbs or starches, I'm so lost!!!
We don't count the carbs from the vegetables.
Eat plenty of them.
There’s an app that’s called GI. It’s for the Glycemic Index but it has a LOT of information that you’re looking for. It’s not the only one, there are others you can choose from. Good luck.
It’s depend mainly on diet.We should eat heavy n nutrient dense diet with meat.If we skip meat,we never get back to energy.N have to cut sugar n less carb to support our gut.
LOTS of leafy greens and some healthy fats as well
Can you elaborate on the tall thin woman discussion? I fit the mold trying to figure out why are tall thin woman more likely to suffer from adrenal burnout. Please help
So your hypothalamus gland would need healing first?
I have heard and read that the dietary approach for adrenal conditions would be increasing carbs if they were eating keto or low carb. You talked about how you lower carbs so manage blood sugar. Can you elaborate?
What seems to work best for me is quality protein in the morning, lots of healthy fats, tons of leafy greens, and very few carbs. I have the carbs in the evening to help me sleep better.
I cut out refined sugar entirely, and eliminated most processed items.
At first, I had to eat a little something every 90 minutes to 2 hours, trying to steady the blood sugar enough to take some strain off the adrenals. As my adrenals have gotten stronger, I now eat something about 4 times a day.
Keto is often too extreme for AF people, especially if severe symptoms. They need to raise carbs a little, whole natural foods,
A low carb diet is not a keto diet.
All my blood tests are coming back normal !! I'm fatigued swollen hands and feet plus busters and sensitive skin on my fingers just focused on better eating and being healthy !! Could it be in my mind ? Too
Maybe sub clinical level of potassium deficiency
No Victoria, it’s not in your mind. Swollen hands are in your body.
I hope you get correct tests and find a solution. ❤
