Depending on how long you’ve been experiencing adrenal fatigue, you probably know by know that “adrenal fatigue” is a syndrome that is not recognized by conventional medicine, which means you’re working with a naturopatic doctor or other alternative health care practitioner at the time of this writing.
Well, it doesn’t stop there. There’s more research that indicates while the symptoms that collectively fall under “adrenal fatigue” are real, the treatment of our adrenals isn’t truly targeting the root cause.
What few are now starting to call this is HPA Axis Dysregulation. The HPA Axis is known to be the body’s central stress response system. And for some people, when our body, and it’s hormonal response, is no longer able to habituate to the chronic stressor, symptoms of “adrenal fatigue” begin to emerge until we treat the root cause
Essentially – cortisol disturbance.
So, is adrenal fatigue REAL? HELL YES.
Should it be CALLED adrenal fatigue? I’ll leave that to the medical experts.
What I do know is that the collective symptoms that are now under the naming convention – adrenal fatigue – is absolutely real and debilitating.
Thankfully, there IS a way to peace and finding joy while in recovery.
It wasn’t until I realized my thoughts were causing me more stress than what was actually happening in my life that I was able to regain control.
This is what I tell my clients (adrenal fatigue or not) all day long. You need to pull out the ROOTS (your mis-managed thoughts) in order to FEEL BETTER. Because our thoughts create our feelings, never what’s happening.
It’s a hard concept to grasp at first but when you do, you’ll begin to realize just how IN CONTROL you are of your life 100% of the time.
So, adrenal fatigue? It’s real – at least the collective symptoms of adrenal fatigue.
I hear you. I see you. I feel you.
How do I know? Because I was right there with you my friend.
Let me know how I can help.
In wellness,
