01:22 What is Adrenal Fatigue? The concept of adrenal fatigue is becoming outdated. The adrenals don’t give out. The ovaries give out and shut down, but not the adrenals. The hypothalamus tells the pituitary what to do. The pituitary tells the adrenals what to do. In response, the adrenals make cortisol. It is a miscommunication issue. Most often it is from the hypothalamus and the pituitary, not the adrenal.
03:10 What Causes this Miscommunication? Long term chronic stress is a big influence. . Inflammation and obesity play a big role. Adipose tissue creates its own inflammatory cytokines and upregulates the enzyme 11 beta HSD (11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase).
04:50 Cortisone and Cortisol: The adrenals make cortisol first.
06:66 Cortisol from Fat: Fat tissue makes cortisol, causing it to be amplified in the fat tissue, stimulating the growth of more fat tissue.
07:07 Circadian Rhythm: If fat cells are inflamed and there is excess adipose tissue, they may be creating and releasing cortisol all the time. Anxiety is common when this happens. The norepinephrine to epinephrine (adrenaline) conversion happens in the adrenals. It is driven by cortisol. Those of us with lots of cortisol, report being anxious, jittery, can’t sleep, stressed and tired-but-wired.
08:52 Circadian Rhythm Imbalance: Blue light from cell phones at night are a big part of circadian rhythm imbalance. Your brain says that it is daytime. We wonder why we can’t sleep, can’t heal, can’t recover from our workout, cannot lose weight, or why we have anxiety.
11:25 The Liver and Cortisol/Cortisone Production: When the adrenals make cortisol, the kidneys can deactivate it into cortisone and then flush it out of the body. As it is circulating and the body converts it to cortisone, the liver can reactivate it back to cortisol just like fat cells do. In a healthy person, there is an ebb and flow. Certain glands turn it off. Certain glands turn it on.
12:37 Liver Support: Dr. Jones recommends prophylactically taking Milk Thistle and choline, as well as drinking detox tea. Every little bit helps.
13:28 Caffeine and Adrenals: When we depend upon caffeine to get going, and we consume a lot of caffeine, we are whipping a dead horse.
It's like calling a car with engine problems "wheel movement fatigue" instead of diagnosing what is going on inside the engine. Sheesh people who read a title and comment without watching the video. But I've found trying to change language people use is quite often like this.
Nick Whiu Great insight, people see what they want to see and don’t even hear what we are saying. Annoying for sure!
Thanks
No, information given was bologna. Saying that the adrenal's don't get fatigued is fictitious. It's like a man suffering from low testosterone. Can it be because of a signaling issue from the Pituitary? Yes it can be. It can also be because the Testes aren't functioning properly. The adrenals themselves can be damaged, or "fatigued" over time from being overly stimulated at which point it's not a signaling issue but the adrenals themselves are not working properly.
Adrenal fatigue is definitely real medical doctors lie about this condition. Because it can be reversed with diet . No expensive medications or trips to the Dr. necessary.
@@surferray69
What diet can cure adrensl fatigue please?
Go ahead, watch the video. It sucks.
This vid proves I have adrenal fatigue because I can't finish it because I'm focused on his hair, and her 1 nail that isn't done... and she uses her hands a lot. Please get that nail fixed and redo. Thx
CliffHuxtableSweater LMAO 😆🤣😂
Great video Mike!! Keep up the great work
Adrenal fatigue absolutely exists. I was crushing coffee, energy drinks, and taking preworkout to get through my days and workouts. I was over training and under sleeping. Finally my good friend and personal trainer told me it had to stop and that I needed to heal my body. The withdrawals sucked. But oh my gosh do I see life so much more clear. I jump awake ready to take on the day. My energy is a steady state ALL DAY and I get amazing sleep. My caffeine intake is an all time low. 1 cup a day and it is my bullet proof coffee. I think stopping all the stimulants plus starting keto was the best decision I have ever made. Thanks to my friend for giving me the tough love talk as well. By the way I love your videos!
i nearly died from it.. I saw 8 doctors (including an endocrinologist) before i found a naturopath doctor who prescribed me Cortef... I don't object to the idea that Adrenal Fatigue is a symptom. But I do find the title of this video can be a little scary/thoughtless to those of us who walked with the grim reaper for years. Any disease will have a cause, and it makes sense that lots of stress will affect the adrenals. For persons with PTSD, the adrenals are increasingly affected. If you want to consider Adrenal Fatigue a symptom rather than a disease, i can see that logic. But it is VERY real to those of us who have to deal with it.
Yes totally. I burnt out completely due to an overload of work, study, volunteering and many other factors. It has been nearly 2 years and I still suffer from adrenal fatigue! I make 6 months progress and start to feel 'normal'. It only takes a stressful event or two to set my recovery back months. This is hands down one of the hardest things I have ever dealt with and I have suffered PTSD in the past. The irritability is the worst symptom as it effects social interactions. I find that it is keenly linked to the release of adrenaline as the body struggles to keep going. My full time work is very physical and sadly I am halfway through a biomedical degree which I study in my spare time. I'm trying to hang on but it makes recovery very difficult. Any doubt it exists?? Walk a mile in my shoes! :)
Be careful, it can be deadly if it goes too far... aka Addison's Disease. Get some hydrocortisone if you need it.
I think the title of the video shows the host didn't understand what was said. And the title is very harmful since so many people dealing with this complex condition are often denied medical leave, or even just basic familial support, because they have been told that adrenal fatigue does not exist.
i love it when people tell me my condition was not real... so i weighed 114 lbs, had horrific acne, and was developing freckles and black spots... hair falling out, and wrinkles appeared, fainting when i stood up too fast, when i thought i had a serious brain disorder because i forgot where i was???.... this wasn't real?? Because this condition isn't considered "real"---when i went to the doc or emergency room (with a bp of 50/80) they tested me for drugs.. and released me when they found nothing.... and that wasn't real.. oi.. yes, my appetite for ignorance has truly plummeted. You are so very right the title could be changed.
+ ben gates ** may i suggest looking into self-medicating with low doses of psylocibin (the key natural chemical found in psychedelic mushrooms) ? I know it's fringe science as of now but several medical schools/institutions have had positive results in their trials where they are studying this chemical as a possible "cure" to PTSD or depression.. etc. And many people, impossible to say how many, have found peace from debilitating mental or neurological conditions as far back as ancient times; this fungus or plant has been around as long as the human species itself. I know it sounds strange to look at these plants as a medicine, but honestly its worth reading up on; who knows, it may be the cure for you !
I read many of the comments and see some people misunderstanding the content. They are not trying to deny or debunk adrenal fatigue, but the etiology is different than originally thought.
Thanks, Dewald Louw! Pfew...out of 300+ comments you're the first to not be over-emotional, reactive and quickly defend your biases. That's exactly the point of this video (and this channel).
Thanks for actually listening and having an open mind!
Best,
Mike
Hi Jim Colter,
Thanks for you feedback, but if I named the video, "Rethinking Classical Adrenal Fatigue and Exploring Hidden Triggers of Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis Dysregulation" do you think anyone would even know about the video?
The answer is: no, it would scare people away.
Adrenal fatigue has been way too over simplified and buying into that myopic model (that the adrenals suddenly give out and are the sole players) gives Functional Medicine an unscientific stigma, which doesn't serve anyone.
Having an open mind and looking at things differently is key to progress.
Thanks,
Mike
High Intensity Health My understanding was not that the adrenals give out, but that your body resists the high adrenal hormones not unlike Insulin resistance. I believe this is why people are angry.
Not everyone with adrenal fatigue is overweight. As with MOST health issues, there is more than only ONE causal pathway. I think this individual definitely has a point and may be onto something.
I have studied adrenal fatigue for years. She can call it whatever she wants. The adrenal glands are still exhausted and unbalanced. The longer the condition exists without efforts to support adrenal glands. "Adrenal Fatigue" is a misnomer - if you truly have what is called "adrenal fatigue" THE ENTIRE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM is involved - not just the adrenal glands. She has good points, but definitely not the ONLY points, and suggestions, and, in my opinion, she has a partial understanding of some of the aspects of Adrenal Fatigue (which IS REAL), but she is doing harm to the process of identifying, treating and the acceptance of Adrenal Fatigue in Western medicine.
So what are people with asthma supposed to do? Die? THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE, but to use their medication.
And NO ONE is taking 20mg of prednisone daily to treat Asthma. The use of prednisone has greatly decreased over recent years.
It still seems like she basically believes primary Addison’s Disease doesn’t exist. I don’t believe that. Any one organ/gland/system/etc can break by itself. I don’t understand how it couldn’t. But maybe I’m wrong as I’m no medical doctor most of who deny primary adrenal insufficiency is anything outside of full blown Addison’s.
I too almost didn't watch this useful video because of the title. Change it!
If you think you might have adrenal fatigue and you find a doctor who says it doesn't exist, just leave that doctor and never go back. Adrenal fatigue is a real thing and often found in people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis...which, by the way, is another disease that doctors often simply don't know anything about. If you think you have adrenal fatigue, try the adrenal cocktail: 1/4 teaspoon pink himalayan salt, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/4 teaspoon acerola powder mixed up in a tall glass of water.
Oh my god, my adrenal fatigue makes this really difficult to follow. Not even kidding.
Still worth it though.
My adrenal fatigue does that too me too. I read headlines only.
Look at childhood trauma. Resolve negative emotions and beliefs with EFT (Tapping) to help Adrenal Fatigue, lower stress load on the body and not get mental illness and autoimmune disease.
The Adrenals never stop working, but with chronic stress/ high cortisol the body will try to down regulate its effects, seeking homeostasis.
I'm in that "downward spiral" you spoke of. Can't wake up at normal hour feel like death once I finally wake up, then I'm awake until 1,2,3,4,5 am still awake ugh. It's a vicious place to be
S T A G E S Booking and Promotions Same here, friend!
So here's my two cents on this video. As a nurse who was also diagnosed with severe Adrenal Fatigue (I was bedridden for weeks and sleeping 20/24 hours everyday) I'm very confident with the grasp I have with this condition.
There has always been a problem with the actual term "Adrenal Fatigue", it describes very well what patients experience the most (fatigue) and the low cortisol output given out by the adrenal glands.
Even in allopathic medicine, most diagnoses describe a symptom ie. Arthritis (inflammation of the joints) but not the cause; and there is usually more than one cause...
Allopathic medicine also uses the word "Syndrome" to describe a cluster of symptoms for which there are several causes.
HPA axis dysregulation is a more appropriate term but still it does not explains the complex causes and the myriad of symptoms associated. It also doesn't mention the lack of parasympathetic nervous system tone and severe lack of nutrients at a cellular level.
Hope this helps a bit
Thanks so much, Diana! This is incredibly helpful. I hope others will read your post and appreciate your insight and lessons from your own healing journey.
Cheers,
Mike
Great video, lots of good information, watched the whole thing, and read most of the comments. I watched because of the title, but I see how some might not get what you where aiming for, adrenal dysfunction, not "adrenal fatigue". Sorry to steal someone's thread, but I wanted to put in my two cents...
Diana Lobaton what did you do to fix it?
I watched it all. I was not convinced by the title of the video but was very well worth watching it till the end.
+Gabriel21733 clickbait
Our bodies are so bloody complicated!
Indeed, +Wolf Hound !
That’s the nature of being human and made of half matter.
After taking two cycles of accutane in my teens i can say that it messed me up pretty bad and I was left with terrible anxiety, depression and many other hormonal issues. I have been on a long journey to recover my health which has taken nearly 20 years but i can now say I feel better than ever! (including pre-accutane) Please be very careful to tell people that they are permanently damaged as this may cause some accutane sufferers to give up hope as well as create anxiety (I read some pretty depressing stuff on the internet when i was struggling and it definitely did not help). Otherwise great video!
Me exactly the same Wesley. What did you find was most helpful to your recovery over the years ?
What did you do to heal???
What has helped you?
Thank you for that statement. I was really shoked when I heard that. Especially speaking about permanent damage. There musst be ways to recover... any advives are much apreciated.
Wesley Dobbin thank you. I've been feeling so desperate and ready to give up, I took accutane as well and I'm depressed, I have anxiety, tons of panic attacks, I'm so exhausted all the time. My belly swells up for no reason. I am doing well financially, so no stress there, I am just miserable & this explains it. I'm doing everything right, including healthy diet, no processed food, no medications at all, I eat salads, veggies, I exercise even when I'm tired...taking some probiotics, trying to do everything organic & natural. I'm not giving up, I'll keep going & hopefully some day I'll be well again.
I have been struggling with HPA axis issues for quite sometime, specifically low cortisol and acth. I had no idea that this may have been brought on by years of topical steroid cream use for eczema. This is so illuminating!
Nobody said the adrenals shut down. They are saying the adrenals are overworked and producing symptons.
Hi Winifred Currie,
Please study you on the HPA axis, the adrenals don't have a mind of their own.
We're saying the problem can--and often is--upstairs and due to peripheral issues.
Thanks,
Mike
High Intensity Health
it may be upstairs but often the gut needs fixing to fix upstairs
Absolutely right.
Interviewers should look back at this video to learn how to do interviews. Both, the interviewer and the interviewee, did great here. Never stopped conveying knowledge, never stepped on each other's toes and never broke each other's flow. Very respectful to each other, the audience, and to the topic at hand. Well done!
When your adrenal glands are NOT producing enough cortisol, you have adrenal fatigue. My adrenals have been checked. In the mornings, I was producing enough cortisol but the afternoon and evenings, my cortisol flatlined. So therefore, I will never be convinced that adrenal fatigue is a myth!
Bad title. I kept skipping over this because of the title. It's actually very good. There is an in-depth conversation about adrenals and many things I have not heard in hundreds of similar videos. Definitely worth a watch.
on the concept of adrenal fatigue, i was waiting for them to talk about some natural alternatives like what to include in a diet or how much exercise needed to improve these symptoms because i feel like my fatigue and low blood pressure will never go away :(
Adrenal Fatigue DOES Exist and Circadian Rhythm plays a huge role to it...Thats how the title should be.
Is it adrenal fatigue or circadian rhythm malalignment? If you listen to the whole interview, that's what we discuss.
Thanks
Mike
+Jen Pirante We discussed in the video how adrenal fatigue doesn't really exist and its other factors driving adrenal dysfunction. So not sure how that's controversial or arbitrary.
Why not you change it to "Adrenal fatigue, does it exist?" Its works the same (spiking curiosity while using the same meta words to be found faster. ) You do not gain nothing for being stubborn.
LEZLIE WIAZOWSKA
very well put Leslie!!!
Stephen Bradley wow...that is evil talk😖
From Adrenal Fatigue :" ..the phrase Adrenal Fatigue wasn’t actually coined until 1998, when a chiropractor and naturopath named Dr. James Wilson began to recognize similar symptoms across a set of run-down, fatigued patients. Until that point it was known as hypoadrenia, sub-clinical hypoadrenia, non-Addison’s hypoadrenia, adrenal neurasthenia, adrenal apathy and several other names.." It's a term to describe a bundle of symptoms, where it could have different causes. It's like fever, when the red light flashes, taking Tylenol may lower the fever, but will never cure the cause, It could remit itself, or lessen after the real cause is treated, or it could get worse if we stress our bodies unnecessarily ( too much work, too much coffee, too much exercises, too little sleep). Just treat our bodies kindly and lovingly, never in excess. Thanks for posting.
Hi Heidi C. Franks,
There are over 300 comments and I've addressed many of them. Please take the time to look through.
We're not saying people don't have 'adrenal dysfunction doesn't exist, but it's slightly more complicated than 'the adrenals just give out.'
There are many feedback mechanisms in the periphery that regulate adrenal function--and that's the whole point of this interview.
Thanks,
Mike

What if you have constant inflammation from a chronic condition? Are you constantly pumping out cortisol, making more fat, making you more inflamed? How do you break the cycle if you can’t get rid of the chronic condition?
Mind = BLOWN. She's the perfect practitioner for someone like me because there's no way I could out-think her. LOL. Seriously, I wish more practitioners took the time to really learn this stuff as she has. TOTAL respect.
Completely agree, +MrBrianDuga! Appreciate you tuning in,
Mike
I’ve read 832 comments & you seem incredibly intelligent & sophisticated until I read you consistently responding to trolls or people with different theories or opinions than yours. Do yourself a favor & just keep it movin’ you’re really doing yourself a disservice on many levels both personally & professionally. I enjoy your content & appreciate what you do so thank you!🙏
If ultimately she's saying adrenal fatigue is real, why make an extreme claim that adrenals don't shut down. Technically it can stop producing adequate cortisol which is a life threatening issue. I understood this, but not the point she was trying to make with that analogy, or at least the relevance. Maybe she could have worded it differently? This is what has so many people bothered, I think. This was great content and should have been presented better as she was a little all over the place. Unsure if she was very effective in relaying what she intended to everyone that should have benefited. This should not have been an overly cerebral discussion when trying to help the average person understand what's going on with a concern that affects so many people. The info was not easily digestible. I'd like to see her come back, but maybe have a discussion where she follows each point and discusses them thoroughly without flopping here and there too and fro. She mentioned mind racing? She really sounded at one point like she was just regurgitating a ton of information without making sense. She spoke way too fast and said a lot of excess stuff just to make a very small point that ultimately got lost in all the verbal clutter. Unfortunately people who speak too fast on complicated topics without slowing down and making solid points, lose my attention. I generally enjoy your interviews, but this was hard to follow. You did great by the way. You always speak clearly and thoughtfully, but she didn't match your pace, and as such was hard to listen to.
I thought she was awesome! The whole point is everything is related, I can’t believe you didn’t get it. If it was too fast you have a rewind button!
I agree, Jaesha. She sounded like she’d prepped for an oral exam. Perhaps if she could slow down and match her knowledge to a thinking process she would provide a way for people to relate or at least follow her more easily. The interviewer was very clear. He clarified and summed up what he was hearing which was very helpful.
I watched on double playback speed lol..
@@KajuleCrystalHealing I agree, plus one could change the playback speed. That's what I did to get this important information. Made Mike talk slower but she spoke at a "normal" rate for me to understand.
Dr Sten Ekberg does a great presentation on Adrenal Fatigue!!
Loved this interview! Very thorough and informative. Thank you so much, this really helps with what I am dealing with right now. I like how straight forward Dr Jones is, that is just what I needed! God Bless!
I have watched the first 12 minutes and I completely agree. For years I stayed up late and my circadian rhythm got out of wack and I got very sick for a long time. So I slowly changed my going to bed and my getting up time and I feel so much better. Go to bed before 10:00 pm. Get up at the latest by 6:00 am. It is healthy. It is good for us. Why do we ignore what we need?
because some of us work in shifts, i work in three and it pays the bills
Another reason that is the healthier way to live, is that you avoid the artificial lighting, which slows cell metabolism. Watch some of Jack Cruse' vids on the subject.
Well you’ll be thanking those of us in the medical field when you or someone you love needs desperate help and it’s late at night. I’m naturally on a night shift schedule since childhood. I think not all of us are created the same so that we can all do our part in society.
It sounds like she's arguing over semantics.
Agreed.
I loved this fascinating and informative video! However, I would have been interested in knowing how ADHD medications, such as Adderall, impact the adrenals and cortisone in the body and what the long term effects are. Is there a chance you'll do a video or podcast touching on that sometime in the near future? Thank you so much!
Thanks, Heather.
Will keep that in mind!
Appreciate you tuning in,
Mike
She says the adrenal gland doesn't give out but you are tired because of the bodies miscommunication. Two things wrong with that and that's that she admitted people do get tired so there is severe fatigue and that the adrenals do have to do with the fatigue because they are burned out. so she is wrong and because the cortisol is overproduced and the body is weak because of this because if stress was reduced and thyroid was functioning well cortisol levels would go down the body would produce adrenaline again and have more energy from the adrenals that would be working again.
The idea with this video is stated to be the promotion of the idea that adrenal fatigue may be fake. But they keep talking about adrenal fatigue and its symptoms and specifically about the adrenals and not the pituitary as promoted for being one of the two things that could be wrong. It was a very difficult discussion to follow! Statements are made but explanations are most of the time not adequate for the statement.
I drink lots of black coffee with stevia. I don't get the jitters at all. If I can't sleep for some reason, a cup of black coffee with stevia always knocks me out. What gives? Been drinking about 10 cups a day for many, many years. I am femail, 59, and very healthy; no health issues at all. Can someone explain this to me, please? Could it be my clean diet? I don't eat processed foods. Mostly protein, veggies, good fats, water and coffee, of course.
Fifi Matos 10 cups per day sounds like you’re IMMUNE to caffeine
People are not saying the adrenal is fatigued and shuts down... They are saying the adrenal gland is pushing the body to produce too much cortisol.
Fantastic interview! great job! thank you so much, beautiful information just wish it was longer :)
Thanks again, +Chloe Belmonte. I'm sure we'll have Dr. Jones on again :-)
yes please she's fantastic! and you make awesome interviews great questions always Thank you so much for quality info ;)
Thank you!
awesome!!! I was just diagnosed , with adrenal fatigue this week. my body was shutting down. totally frightening!!!. im still working on it always tired and drained unless I take a b-complex in the morning and in the afternoon. love your channel
How are you feeling now? I’m in the exact same boat as you were 4 years ago where I’m absolutely drained unless I take a complex b vitamin everyday.
I had been tired for years and years. I spent a lot of time on the couch crashing after work. I worked 7 days a week, , 14 hrs a days since I was self employed. I wanted to take a break for a long time but I couldn’t do it financially. I started keto IF 18 months ago, and haven’t been working since Jan 1 2019. I am 53 woman , 110 lbs ( my normal weight) , 5”4. I can finally breathe and take care of myself. I started taking adaptogens 2 months ago along with cold showers , because I was still tired. My energy pic was a 5 pm for years. I have no illness and my metabolic blood work in very good. Since I’ve started the adaptogens I feel better. This what I take:
Morning: 1 tsp of Ashwagandha +1 tsp of maca ginseng mix in a glass of water, along with 500 mg of rodhiolla
Evening: I take one tablet 1075 mg of blend of Ashwagandha, Eleuthero,astragalus codonopsis. I also take mushrooms tea or coffee mix during the day when needed( Four Sigmatic or Purica brands) huge improvement, physically and mentally.
🖖
Kobayashi Maru I hate the no win scenario! 😜🖖 LLAP !
This is fascinating for me because I'm struggling to find out what my symptoms mean. I'm working with a chiropractor who does a lot of supplements. I've been tested and my abnormalities are elevated DHEA and incredibly low insulin. My pegesterone is low (29) as well.
I've discovered that nightshades are a major trigger and gluten so diet change is helping.
Also last time I was muscle tested my kidneys and liver were majorly unhappy. Even after the diet changed.
BUT my major symptoms are moodiness, anger, weepiness, low libido, inability to lose weight and tiredness. Irregular periods. (I'm 18months post partum)
I don't have insomnia or hair lose.
My goal is to get out of the depression symptoms and get my pegesterone into a healthy level so I can sustain a pregnancy without pegesterone shots. I had a preemie for my first child and then they insisted for the shots for my second child. It was DISASTROUS. Worse mental and physical reactions to them. Crying, anxiety, exhuastion.
I also just had a cyst that was a week of pain and bloating that just burst and wonder if that's connected.
The supplements to fortify my adrenal glands were seemingly helping SO much and I felt myself for the first time in over a year. But this past few weeks I've been pushed back and I can't figure out why they aren't working still.
I'm considering finding a nutrapath who would be more knowledgeable about pregnancy because I feel like that's a huge key.
Having two boys under four I don't have the time to let this ride it out. I can't just retreat or rest it out. And I also can't be an angry sad mom for them. They and my husband deserve the me who loved life.
I'm sorry this is so extensive. Today hit hard and I'm digging for answers.
I don't care what you call it. If I can't workout without getting sick.
If it doesn't matter how long I sleep to feel refreshed at all.
If I can't even think or see clearly due to how tired I have been for a year - without anything showing up on blood work. Then it's a problem. Call it what you want but give me a solution.
@ minute 22 Accutane this is horrible. I have an employee with a short term memory issue he said started in high school. His grades went from A's to D's making him drop out of school. It frustrates me to no end. He has terrible scars from acne so I asked him if he took this Drug.. yes - a few rounds. This is SO SAD he does not even know that this caused his issue/s. Is there a way to supplement to get this back? At least now I can be more emphatic when he forgets something =(
I would love if they talked more about the solutions and not so much about the actual cause
I think it's great to have a different perspective, especially today with all the assessements on the web where people with a lot of symptoms (like me) think that they have X and Y and Z and so on, when in fact, it may be something completely different and underlying, something only a well experienced and educated person (practitioner, doc,...) can see and adress - aswell as adressing the probably most important and influential organ/organ system/problem...with a good plan (lifestyle, supplements, stress management, periodization, re-testing, adjustment,....) which may kickstart the whole healing-process and doesn't make it necessary to focus on the other problems, instead of adressing everything at once and investing in the 4 to 5 digits into supplements and whatnot.
Example: sleep problems, toxins, pathogens, no energy, muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, digestion problems, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, allergies, intolerances, blood sugar problems, no motivation, depression, anxiety, low VitD, high cholesterol, tension in jaw/neck area,....well, sleep is probably the most important here, but where to start? Try over 40 sleep supplements like I did? Fix the diet? Force yourself into a proper sleep schedule? Do all the meditation, blue blocking stuff, f.lux, EMF, turn off W-Lan, go outside, get sunlight in the morning, daily walking, diary, aromatherapy, get rid of plastics,...? Take all the other supplements during the day that may or may not help (B-Vitamins, VitD, multivit, fish oil, magnesium, enzymes, HCl,...)? Do everything at once and burn away the little energy that's left? And for how long? What dosages? What combinations? What are the side-effects and what symptoms could occur that are acceptable while healing? When to stop? How to stop? When to cover the other stuff? What to cover next? How to re-test? But guess what, my liver is absolutely overloaded, so if I take a decent amount of supplements I'd run into serious trouble within a short period of time. In terms of the questionnaires on the web I'd have all the common problems (thyroid, adrenals, SIBO, IBS,....), when in fact it may just be a problem with it's roots in the digestion, or in the mitochondria energy production,... It's not as easy as so many people on the web claim it to be, and it's not always about popping some supplements (which aren't necessarily better than medication) and everything will be fine, or that we all jump on the Paleo/high fat train and we get better within a week (some people just can't handle high fat, some need carbs in the morning, some need to avoid fruit, some need to cook everything, some need to eat more meat while some need very little meat and so on....).
Some people may get better with all the supplements and tipps on the web (and even less really heal themselves but do symptom treatment), but I feel like most of us get really confused and even much more stressed out with all the stuff, and many take supplements that actually do them more harm than good. Yes, supplements have side effects. Yes, supplements can do a lot of harm. Yes, there are many low quality supplements out there. And there is SO MUCH that we still don't know today, especially long-term impact of supplements and the synergistic complex within a food with all the different amounts and combinations of amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, co-factors, phyto-nutrients. I'm not saying that they can't help, what I say is that we have no clue what they really do and there are a lot of people out there who wanna make profit out of your desperate need for relief and health.
So what did I learn besides that stuff in the last almost 3 years now of trail and error and suffering and investing a shitload of money? Listen to your body and throw away any dogmatic thinking!! You also don't need a test for everything, your body can tell you so much - I personally always felt like eating certain foods at certain times and that always fit the, for example, TCM recommendations (or Metabolic Typing, FODMAPs, GABA enhancing foods, allergy test,...). And if you have problems that are severe and/or several in number, invest in a holistic health practitioner who can find the real cause and send you to the right expert! Personally I found C.H.E.K. Practitioners to be very helpful and well educated. Also, having somebody around to help with the cooking and stuff, having some support or just somebody who understands you (a group of people with a lot of problems aswell who meet for example on skype regularly) is so so important.
Thomas Franz Great comment; it is very true. I often start to think ‘How the hell am I going to even know at this point if or what is actually working’?? It becomes very overwhelming & then dealing with hormones..those fluctuate! Maybe I’m using DIM or maca & need to stop at a certain point but who knows?? The body is so complex & the crossover of everything we’re doing trying to heal could actually be counterintuitive. I appreciate your comments; you’re speaking a very important truth.
I have adrenal fatigue.
Been running into this concept of "adrenal fatigue doesn't exist" a lot lately. It's a rather clumsy way of saying that "adrenal fatigue" as a label is a misnomer, and that a better label would be something like "HPA dysregulation". Problem is, saying it doesn't exist is easily conflated with the idea that the adrenals aren't part of the problem, and don't need to be supported.
This is ridiculous. I have diagnosed adrenal insufficiency and let me tell you, it did not happen overnight. Adrenal Fatigue was what I was experiencing until my adrenals finally gave out. I'm now on steroids for life. I can't stand hearing adrenal fatigue isnt real.
What if you have been tested and your cortisol is super low even though you've had a very stressful life? Mine was way too low..My adrenal test was super low..a 9.... It has gone up..21..by taking vitamin D.. But I'm always so very tired..exhaust very easy.. What can I do to help?
May I ask what you took to get your cortisol number up? I see vitamin d but did you take anything else? My number is also incredibly low right now. I’m always exhausted.
@@misselle3049 I am always exhausted too, but it's from my heart medications. My cortisol is ok, I guess. I'm under a lot of stress though. I wish I could complete get off of these meds. Hope you are ok.
@@aliceowens4346 I’m so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about heart problems to offer any advice but, I have had a lot of success following the advice from Dr. Izabella Wentz in regards to healing my thyroid - which I think may have been causing my cortisol issues. With her advice I’ve already been able to drop from 75 mcg of Synthroid to 50 mcg. Besides that I would also recommend Dr. Ken Berry & Dr. Berg for health advice. They both have plenty of videos on an array of different conditions.
I would caution about going full keto though as it made my HPA Axis/“adrenal fatigue” much worse. Low carb has been working wonders for me though. I hope some of that might’ve been helpful. I hope you get better soon. 🙏🏻❤️
Well in a nutshell, 'stress' is the trigger, any stress. Adrenal fatigue is when the body starts to not be able to produce enough cortisol. Cortisol is our major stress hormone, and so when we can’t produce enough of it you know, we get really tired because it keeps us awake, in the earlier stages, you might have trouble sleeping at night. Just having trouble getting to sleep and waking up multiple times throughout the night. A lot of people will experience blood sugar crashes, so they sort of get that “Hangry” feeling, where they are sort of hungry and angry at the same time. You know a lot of just mood and anxiety sort of symptoms because of the blood sugar crashes. Basically, these are going to be the main symptoms you are going to get from adrenal fatigue. So that is how you can sort of know if you have it, or if you should get checked out for it.But adrenal fatigue is caused by too much stress, for the short answer. Because our body can handle short bouts of stress, it is sort of made to be able to handle that. Our ancestors had to catch food to eat, they would have had these shorts bursts of stress. Then they would have had time to sit and relax, you there are these two extremes where one is the “Fight of Flight Mode”, where the body is stressed out, you are producing lots of cortisol, you are having that stress reaction. And then other times you know, you are really relaxing and taking it easy so your body can digest food, and do all that kind of thing. So, I would really like to call, instead of referring to it as Adrenal Fatigue, I usually like to refer to it as HPA axis dysfunction. That sounds really complicated, so, a lot of people don’t use that term, because it’s not a very good search term. And if you are trying to figure out what the heck is going on with your adrenals, you probably to not know much about the HPA axis.But, the HPA axis is basically the axis between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and the adrenal glands. All of them are connected. So what happens when we get stressed is, first: The HPA is the role center for the reaction to stress, and it regulates a lot of other body functions like digestion and immunity. So when we are in contact with a stressor, like being in traffic, the first thing that happens is something called CRH, which is Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone, is released from the hypothalamus. CRH travels within the blood, to the interior pituitary gland, and stimulates the production of adrenal corticotrophin-hormone, also known as ACTH for a shorter way of saying it. ACTH goes through the blood to the adrenal cortex, which it ultimately stimulates the release of cortisol, which is the body’s main stress hormone (which we have already talked about), as well as some other hormones, like DHEA and others.So that’s a brief biochemistry lesson as to how the body reacts when we get stressed out. That’s what’s going on behind the scenes in the body. Cortisol works to help keep blood glucose levels elevated, and to help the body retain sodium so that our blood pressure stays high, and so that our blood glucose can keep up with the fuel demands of the brain and other vital organs during times of stress. So you know how blood glucose and high blood pressure do not sound like a good, but when you are talking about being in a stressful situation, those are the things that the body actually wants to prioritize, you know, you want to have that energy to keep going. Because if you are running away from a bear of something, that’s what you want!So be careful lets say if you are on an atkins or keto diet, as his comment about sugar, good carbs, might be just what you need and a simple back loading of carbs might throw you out of ketosis, but you will sleep like a baby and feel super the next day, so remember adrenal fatigue has various situations, you cannot 'generalize' it as caffeine, a specific deficiency in a vitamin (by the way, Vitamin D is really a hormone not a vitamin as he says). Hope this helps some on a more scientific or practical level. What he is abosolutely correct about is STRESS, find it, minimize or eliminate it and pay attention to your diet type and fitness level. What works for the normal 9-5 desk working eating a SAD diet will not apply to a keto adapted active person or athlete. This is VERY IMPORTANT to consider. good health.
Thanks, Paul!
Adrenal exhaustion is not a joke. Chinese traditional medicine is way superior to this bio chemical causal diatribe. All disease is founded in the disruption of qi. The kidney is the store of primary essence (jing). When it is depleted there is deep fatigue and the ageing process is mostly rooted in this eventual natural depletion. Manifestation of weak kidney meridian including adrenals are weakened will, poor memory, weak bladder, loose teeth, hair loss, hearing/ear problems and so on. All the symptoms of ageing but in a young person fatigue and other illnesses. Western medicine could learn a lot.
👍
+Beadybonce I agree 100%. Traditional Chinese Medicine is excellent. The body is treated as a whole. Not just the symptoms. The Qi need to be in balance. Qi Gong is also excellent. It is gentle and very healing.
*****, awwwwww does somebody need a hug...............and some acupuncture maybe??? :p
+ArnoldJudasRimmer - ha ha ha ha ha! Someone has an overcharged liver meridian. Easy to treat and would be very beneficial to you in the end!
Beadybonce Is there any channel you can refer me to for all of this Chinese medicine/chinese herbal/ chinese home remedies/ chinese exercises?
So basically the name given to the disorder is poorly worded adrenal "fatigue " isn't the right word , more like adrenal "disruption" or adrenal "miscommunication " .. You're not claiming it doesn't exist , just the semantics of the word fatigue ...
This shit doesnt even make any damn sense. . . . let me ask you this, if I do a bunch of curls my muscles will get tired yes? Okay what if I keep doing curls? My bicepts will get more tired right? Okay so what happens if I keep doing curls then and dont rest day after day after day and keep curling high weight? My muscles will burn out, wont recover and probably will get damaged yea? Well shit, I know the adrenals aren't muslces but ummmm they can get fatigued. Same concept really. How is this not a thing? This video doesnt really explain t me on how it *doesn't exist*
!POTATO Then why doesn't your heart brain lungs liver fail ?
After being under sustained stress for a ,long time I developed adrenal fatigue or adrenal burn out. I am recovering from it now without medication with organic, hormone, chemical free and super dense nutrition, natural supplements and stress management techniques. It is making a great difference to me. Maybe it is a question of semantics and how you call it does not matter. Whatever it is called, this condition exists and is very real.
He's trying to get her to speak in layman's terms but she doesn't get it. It's just confusing to listen to her.
Also, at the start she says that there's no such thing as the adrenals ceasing to produce, they don't just stop working. Then at 20:39 she says that the adrenals say "I'm out" and they stop producing. So which is it??
Lexi Lee i agree. She needs to tone down and stop trying to impress. Stopped listening to her.
Well to me adrenal fatigue is real I've been dealing with it all my life. So not understanding the title especially since half the time I have a foggy mind where I can't think straight. So if you really want to try to help someone it's best to try to make it plain and simple especially those that are dealing with it and and they have a very difficult time even making a simple decision.
So the first issue is the host discussing "does it exist" and it's a shame that this was brought up at the beginning because no one heard a word after that. Perhaps the narrator Could improve his communications so people can hear the real message.
Man, this video is pure gold. There is so much more here than just adrenal fatigue!
referring to the chaste tree berry... what to use for post-menopausal women?
Would be beneficial if someone like Dr Jones could research the effect of prolonged "meditation" on stress and the endocrine system. I put meditation in quotes because there are many different types with various benefits.
Lots of emotional reactions that don’t even relate to the actual title. It’s a question on whether it exists, not a statement that it doesn’t, yet people are having knee jerk reactions yet obviously never listened to the video. Like how adrenals aren’t the one and only issue, it’s just part of the greater picture. It shows you hit a nerve and that people still want quick fixes and easy answers. Blame the adrenals, done. They wouldn’t dare look at other things, thinking the treatment of an obvious symptom (rather than all the ones they missed and caused the adrenal issue in the first place) is somehow a cure.
i went through a very stressful period 2 years ago. it really messed up my sleep. i can only sleep around 4.5 to 5 hours a night. I can fall asleep easily but i keep waking up beteeen 2am-4am. how can i stop this? i am currently going to bed at 10.30pm and trying to wake up 4.30am for work. but i never get a full nights sleep. can you please help me?
moey hamze uropathy
Great interview. Her and Rhoda Patrick r my 2 favs
Gee Carrie, you must have never experienced your sympathetic nervous system not turning off. Please speak about NeuroEndoMetabolic response/reaction. Look into Dr.Lam and his healing protocol.
From the moment you feel it..... EXISTS! Case closed!
But the whole point is that the issue isn’t adrenal fatigue, but a systemic problem that harms adrenals that ends up giving you your symptoms, but that “adrenal fatigue” isn’t the only answer. Anyone who has spent time studying this knows that adrenals and thyroid work in balance. Your adrenal fatigue means hyper thyroid. Hypo thyroid goes with excess adrenals. Adrenal fatigue is part of a balance, not the answer.
Lol ya
You're an idiot. This isn't Twitter, watch the video before you spew your stupid.
@@decolonizeEverywhere
Damn....take a happy pill. I can see why you watched the video. Stress words/emotions, cause adrenal problems.
Nope that isn't how things work. Lot of people claim things that dobt hold up to objective analysis or double blind studies
This is absolutely great and addresses my life long issues. Great show. Also, as a film maker, she is beautifully lit.
Thanks, +Chris Penney. It was all natural light as well. (Thanks to Sam Han of RudyStudios.com)
I agree to disagree with Carrie Jones, ND about adrenal "fatigue"/ adrenal insufficiency, Stress is huge !! if you think about the condition "diabetes" and the role the pancreas has on maintaining levels of ph in the stomach as well as controlling blood glucose levels with insulin and other hormones that aid in the control of blood glucose levels, they include the liver and adrenals. I believe in adrenal fatigue as a part of pancreatic exhaustion, using supply and demand theory. Gut imbalances and Malnutrition results from years of improper levels of stomach pH for foods to be digested properly.....I also believe that many people have hypothalmic or pituitary issues that are not diagnosed or underdiagnosed and that may be recognized as a part of MEN conditions may possibly be inherited, creating a smorgasboard of symptoms that are confusing for those suffering. If you are so "hypo" anything or one of your glands is dysfunctional, then you are unable to perform to any standard recognized and therefore may not be recognized as being unwell in the first place. I haven't had a temperature for any infection above 99 since my mid 20's with my first pregnancy, that was a result of a bacterial incisional infection post-op a c-section and I was very malnourished and hormonally unstable at the time, unknowingly. I believe that most problems lie in root from pancreatic fatigue and pain. escalating over time with liver complications in response to glucagon and sugar stores along with pain and eventually adrenal insufficiency due to extremes in lifestyles, leading to overgrowths in intestinal microbes but also setting up scenarios for poor immune responses with weakened defenses. After my 4th child I had trouble getting through the days and for 20 years I relied on many medications to relieve my symptoms. By mid 40's my experience from waking every morning with sweating and bilateral mid-back pain up rising each day, migraines and tons of intestinal issues with ensuing hypothyroidism with my body shutting down from total exhaustion and from malnourishment from earlier years while trying to fighting virus', fungus, bacterial and other pathogens that we are exposed to throughout life. Childhood illnesses and STD's, Lymes disease, and any exposures including TB are always being controlled by immune system and response. If you have incurred any injury throughout your life, then demands are doubled for every injury or surgery that the body attempts to heal in addition to routines of fighting external microbials. Other factors to consider in adrenal fatigue and pancreatic pain and fatigue, is daily mind stress, some of us tend to be complicated thinkers and it takes a great deal of energy and glucose, those with anxiety and other OCD scenarios, all affected by foods we eat and our sometimes learned personalities and high levels of cortisol from our Mother's. I am a 50 plus year old inactive Nurse, Mother of 4 (all c-sections within 5 years), with 7 total surgeries (removal of gallbladder and 2 parathyroid glands) and head injury and chronic pancreatitis, now diet controlled diabetic recognized by Dr. of Functional Medicine as living with adrenal fatigue. I am 75% better as long as I mind my limitations and embrace all holistic avenues available and eat clean fresh foods. I agree hormones are key and our foods play a huge role in nourishing our cells. Sugar, caffeine, and alcohol is our enemy. Sugar and Estrogen plays a huge role in weight gain and also in hormone related cancers, specifically breast cancer. So regulate your hormones by stabilizing your blood glucose levels. I believe that glucose intolerance is a result of too much glucagon being released. High demands cause many of our problems.
I'm quite young and I had IBS and now have fatigue, brain fog, disturbed liver detox phases (made the coffee detox test), mercury and aluminium in blood, leaky gut, elevated cortisol...what's the way out of it? I had all this tested, I even have infections like yersinia and ascaris roundworm. But antibiotics would f*ck up the gut even more so my doc won't give it to me. She only gives me antihelmitic medication. You say some smart things, I was an analytic and a complicated thinker and had a little anxiety for years since I was very young. What's the way out of it , where to start? I spend a fortune on supplements and I spent a lot on a therapy but the only thing what helped is diet change and supplements.
Why do you think people have improper levels of stomach ph? Maybe it is just a symptom of an overworked liver? Lots of people get detox crisis when they take stomach enzymes. I wasn't really helped by them.
I feel an extreme rush, it's like I had taken drugs, it's too much energy, it's frightning because it feels like too much for my body
This is CRAZY! I have a very near and dear friend who wenr fot decades sick to the core without knowing why. Couldnt work or anything, her life was destroyed. 6 months after trying natural medications for Adrenal Fatigue, all her symptoms dissapeared including PMDD, a diagnosis which there is no cure for. I have seen what HELL ON EARTH shes went through and what a difference those meds did for her so to ay it doesnt exist is UNBELIAVABLY CRUEL AND INCONSIDERANT!
Please, do you know what natural medication did she take? Please help, I'm kind in the same situation. I just found about Ashwagandha and started to take it, but I don't know if it will be enough. This condition is terrible indeed and it is even worse when people around me tell me that I am just lazy or that I only have to sleep 2 nights and it will pass.
What herb do you recommend for menopausal women if not chasteberry?
Samina Jafree uropathy
Sorry did not understand, uropathy ??
Samina Jafree search Dr. Armstrong...his audiobook is here on yt. called the water of life. also d. Murphy.
good luck. it works.
Adrenal Fatigue absolutely exists and can be found in blood work when there's a problem. Those who end up on prednisone to save their lives, most.. know this to be true. Including me. The pathway and processes involved are very serious. Adrenal Fatigue is not only serious... it's deadly... unless there's intervention. If people end up in an addisonian crisis because they decided to change the way they ate, etc... they're in real danger and one that can end their lives. Adrenal Fatigue absolutely exists.
Thanks for your opinion.
High Intensity Health Do you not agree with any of that?
@autumnwhispers2me you are asbolutely right. I too had to get prednisolone to survive. And all this has nothing to do with communication and brain signals, because taking hormones works, whick means the feedback loop works. The problem is that the adrenals are not producing what they should. And I also got very close to an Addisonian crisis, which left me almost dead. I do not drink coffee. In my case I also need to take progesterone, and DHEA. The first time I took DHEA I realised what it feels like to be alive. I'm sorry but I cannot take this interview seriously.
I took accutane 6 months. If the dommages are permanently in the brain, do we have permanent hormones issues ? Do I need an endocrinology doctor ? Thank you for this interview and i'm afraid for my memory and hormones after took accutane
Wow, love this layout in the Desc ....well done!
Hi guys thanks for the video! I just was wondering what your thought's are on Ashwagandha, Licorice root and Holy basil for lowering stress and healing up the adrenals? Cheers
The Last Baron it's a shame they never answered your question I wanted to ask the same😐
B C >>>>me too👍
The Last Baron
I started taking this along with black cohosh because I noticed my mood was scratchy and I can't have a scratchy mood at work.
Same night, I slept through the night. Stopped having hot flashes & night sweats and stopped feeling like I was going to flip the f out on stupid people. I forgot to take it a couple days & I had a hot flash.
So, for the sanity & safety of everyone, I might that "stress formula" a priority!
I feel great taking these, getting good sleep & not waking up multiple times a night to urinate, or to change my jammies because I sweated through them, or just stressing about stuff.
I take a brand called Gaia Stress Response that contains those herbals you mentioned: rhodiola, ashwaganda, & holy basil, plus some other great things.
Great formula!
Good luck!
The adrenals don't really give out but can be "sabotaged" causing other organs like the thyroid, kidney, liver, other areas to malfunction. I also think HPA axis dysfunction, or functional adrenal insufficiency as defined by Ari Whitten is a better definition. I'm not a doctor, or in medicine, just a concerned citizen who wants everyone to be healthy. Great video.
The subject about Testosteron for woman OMG she did not even mentioned Natural Progestrone therapy omg omg
what a superb enlightening video ! I just realised my metabolism is more catabolic than anabolic, its time to take some DHEA's !
Wonderful, Ra! Appreciate you tuning in.
Thanks
I'm certainly catatonic. Severely underweight, rh o negative blood type, subclinincally hyperthyroid, enlarged rt lobe, was Vit D..
Taking nac and thiamine and women's multi has helped a little, IE my heart is not racing so much, but I am eating well and struggling to gain weight.
I knew my adrenals played a part, but you revealed to me what could be going on. I'm catatonic!
I took Accutane seven years ago, it has ruined my life.
I took it too (twice) the first time was fine. The 2nd - it has ruined the balance of my body. I was really ill for 2 1/2 yrs after taking it. I found homeopathy has been helpful for me.
Explain more...
+Stefan Alexander Lay Ⓥ hey, I took accutne 4 years ago and it ruined me. I spent the past 4 years healing myself trying everything, all fruit diet, paleo, keto and all the other bs. None worked, but then I went on what I like to call the original human diet and healed. Take your vitamin b12 shots. Look up Brian clement and watch all his videos. If you see this reply consider it. Blessing. It's you go super human or nothing. Take what Brian clement says seriously and leave all these other clowns lone, especially Robert Morse
Arya viejo so you went raw vegan and that helped it?
That blue light is so detrimental, and going dark like 2 hours before bed (which should be like 9-10:00) helps so much.
Listen to these two everyone! I've tried both hormone therapy(for adrenal fatigue) and IF and working out. The latter was much more helpful. I'm not completely out of the woods, so to speak, but I'm much better now and sleeping better. Plus, you can never know how much of a hormone you need at a given time of the day. Plus those "outside sources" will shut down your natural hormone production for 3-6 months.
Great information - will need to listen several times to absorb it all - quite fatigued at the mo and hoping to get to the bottom of it FINALLY. Thank you so much. Ignore the reactive types - they obviously haven't listened to the full interview - or would prefer to attack than try to understand what Ms Jones is saying ...
Can weight training everyday cause this?
Mike Wagner Yes! Intense workouts without proper recovery will absolutely lead to burnout & actually decrease gains/benefits you seek thus negating the work. Very important to rest enough & vary intensity. If you already know you’re feeling the exhaustion you better pull way back!
What an insightful revelation on cortisol... .Thank your Dr.Carie!!! l enjoyed the last one-"'when we consume a lot of caffeine, we are whipping a dead horse".
Killer content. Great interview. As the interviewer you had a ton of knowledge. However you used that knowledge to empower Dr. Jones opposed to showing the world how smart you are. Killer job making it about the information and helping people versus about you. I love it.
Beautiful Audio.
Great lighting.
And Man she’s beautiful AND smart!
Critique. It would’ve help me at the end of each small topic or segment to dumb it down into layman‘s terms and say 10 to 20 seconds.. A lot of information to digest. 😅
Thank you for creating this!

So she explains where the dht and alpha hairloss comes from, but what can we du to reverse it's effects or lower dht and 5alpha??
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed this interview with Dr Jones, I wish I could get a provider like her that would listen to my concerns about my Adrenals, I see you recommended a few folks in responses, do you have anyone in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk Va area you can recommend? Looking forward to your enlightening interviews, I found you thanks to trying to find answers on adrenal fatigue, have a great day!
Hello +Michi D,
Thanks for the note. I put some feelers out and don't know anyone. I hear there is a Dr. Eric Berg (spell?) that is pretty good in the Virginia area. Might want to give him a call!
Mike
good information.. i think that it should be titled adreanal stress. but nothing to get to worked up about. the information was great and valuable.
Glad I paid attention in A&P. Ha ha. I'm glad you made this video. Definitely have a better understanding. Thanks!
I thought this was so informative. There is so much to learn. My mind is spinning. I just discovered this topic adrenals issues. The title is catchy. Thanks so much for the notes as well. Again so informative.
Man she is so knowledgeable!
How would you suggest that someone with asthma get off an inhaler like Advair? I have had my thyroid removed so I really feel my adrenals are very overworked.
Please just watch dr berg.
Dr berg is the best and he makes more sense.
He's a Scientologist chiropractor (who stop practicing sfter disciplinary action) who has been repeatedly fine for false therapeutic statements and pushes anti vaccine misinformation. Far from the best
Can short-term adrenal glandular supplementation (1 month) help boost the process as we are correcting our sleep? I understand we're not supposed to depend on it as a long term solution but can it help as we are healing the cause?
Hi+Ria Mag,
I believe so! Many practitioners that I know report great benefits through this approach.
One school of thinking is that we used to eat many organs of animals, but now we don't.
The other school of thought it is we're exposed to so many endocrine disrupting chemicals and artificial light etc... so our endocrine system is being stressed in an unprecedented way; hence the extra support is needed.
(I personally take XYMOGEN T-150, it works really well as a broad spectrum, yet balanced, glandular.
Thanks,
Mike
Interesting video. I wish they would explain how to heal non-existent adrenal fatigue.
Would you be able to let me know why there are short of breathe from horizontal movement? Like doing burpees, walking up one flight of stairs and running uphill? Much thanks! 🙏
Just watching this is spiking my anxiety.
Thank you I'm having so many problems and all this information is so helpful
what about when free and metabolized cortisol on the dutch are both low?? cause and cure??? isn't that what most of us mean when we say 'adrenal fatigue'.... solution? you're addressing a bunch of specific side topics but not actual lived experience of adrenal fatigue/low cortisol. I was a patient of kressers years ago... nothing resolved.. I get HPA axis stuff but 10+ years later, my cortisol is still low.... I live low stress, eat well, healthy routines, adaptogenic herbs, gut healing diets........ etc.... so ????
To suggest adrenal fatigue doesn't exist is a very naïve and illogical statement for a student of medicine who should know the physiology of the body.
Thanks for your opinion.
Im trying to study this topic can you help me out. Where are the studies about adrenal fatigue? the only people I see who talk about it have no degree in the medical or medical related field. Yet everyone believes in it. Im very confused! However I think we need to fix our diet, sleeping habits, and exercise habits before we take. anything for fatigue.
Moxie
I don't think she's saying that exactly - I think it's just more complicated, and I say that as someone who has been a healthcare professional for decades and has been studying physiology for even longer. This is good information, and I learned something new from this interview. I think what she has to say is very valid.
LEZLIE WIAZOWSKA
No need to shout. We can take in the info just as well in lower case. It makes you come across as someone whose adrenals are frazzled..
Sounds good..Thanks for the discussion! .......but most of us don't know enough to talk to a doctor about this alphabet soup test results. And the doctors don't care enough, know enough or are just mouth pieces for big pharma! But I will keep listening and try to learn more.
