In reply to Shasha. Katie I’m nursing my 8 month old and my Dr. recommended I start an adrenal fatigue supplement. I trust your research, but I’m struggling with cost. We have 8 children and 1 income. Can you suggest supplements that will help but won’t break the bank?

Yes! I think it was on Aviva’s podcast, she interviewed someone who recommended 2 twenty-minute sessions a day where you are lying down. This tells your flight’or’fight…”It’s okay…you are safe….” and essentially ‘reboots’ the system. I use this for my clients who screen compromised.

Thanks so much for sharing this info! I definitely have adrenal fatigue – most likely Stage 3 because I now have no good days any more – always exhausted as a baseline. Re 40 g protein (and also healthy fats): Would almond butter be a good source of both the protein and the healthy fat? Thanks! (Also, I’m so glad to find a community who is knowledgeable and talks freely about natural/holistic health remedies.)

Hello.. my hormone doctor just prescribed ashwagandha and I’m hesitant to take it as I got off short term use of benzo 8 months ago and don’t want to mess with my gaba receptors. Is ashwagandha going to cause any dependence or tolerance issues? Thanks!

I have used chromium yeast to combat my afternoon “hangovers” at work and it has really helped balance my blood sugar. I take CoQ10 (ubiquinone) in the morning and at lunch and that has really given med a solid energy foundation. I have been fighting Chronic Fatigue (and possibly adrenal burnout) for the past couple of years and the myoqinon CoQ10 really did bring back my energy and allowed me to contribute more at work – my boss has actually noticed. I look forward to adding some of your suggested supplements, especially magnesium and vitamin C+B.

Instead of gaining weight Im loosing weight. Is this also a sign of adrenal fatigue?

Can adrenal problems contribute to weight loss? I’m down to 105lbs and am 28yrs old. I used to be 125lbs 7-10 years ago. My blood tests always show that my health is fine, but I never have energy – just drag through the day usually. I did hormone saliva tests, which showed my hormones are generally too low. Cortisol is whacky. My cycles are so regular that I can hardly believe I have hormone problems… I guess I’m just confused what causes what and if the adrenals can cause all this other stuff – low other hormones, weight loss, weakness. People always talk about needing to lose weight. I eat and eat and can’t gain. It’s frustrating because I just got married this year, and we want a baby but it’s kinda depressing to think of that process when I can hardly carry myself around. I’ve spent so much $ on medical and natural stuff and haven’t found much -if any- relief. Any thoughts?

I was just diagnosed with adrenal situation – I would peter out substantially after noon. Got some adrenal supplements recommended to me and I feel better after 3 weeks, but not quite 100%. Thanks.

In reply to Kelly. HI, This supplement with the Ashwagandha would lower the cortisol more. I stopped all adrenal supplements thinking the adrenal extracts and Ashwangandha etc are hurting me. Rhodiola is good and organic oranges/coenzymated B vitamins. Licorice root helps cortisol last longer, but maybe only 75mg dose. Just try one ingredient at a time to see how it helps maybe. LDN and gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO free/grain free etc. help my adrenals also and eating no food with a label. Eating pure organic food helps me and sunlight/Vit D3 5000IU. Vit B12 methylcobalamin with intrinsic factor helps my stress. No/low sugar/progesterone helps my adrenals. Protein powder gives me energy...Nature's plus kind. I have Lyme..ozone helps and herbs. Most adrenal supplements are for stage one and try to lower cortisol so I may need to avoid all adrenal supplements except a few ingredient now. Best wishes.

In reply to Shasha. This is the exact supp I am taking. My cortisol levels are to low also.

Ashwagandha lowers cortisol and I need to raise cortisol with licorice etc. The rest of the supplement looks good. This is for stage 1 not stage 3 adrenal fatigue due to the Ashwagandha. You can try separate ingredients in this and see if that help. Eating organic oranges helps me compared to Vit C in a supplement. This is the one I prefer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZ9L96Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=wellnessmama-20&linkId=39fbff09fa9bdbdbcf94cdbc0150f3df&language=en_US

In reply to Deborah.

Alternative doctors check ferritin levels…first time I had it checked. I am low in iron due to Lyme/coinfections. My nails are pale. I had to take a multiple vitamin with iron and extra iron also, but it is not helping. i can’t eat meat due to the fat clogging my blood vessels. Some people use an iron pan. I eat mostly raw food. Celiac is high in low sunlight/far from the equator countries. Celiac has gluten hurting intestines so less minerals/nutrients/good oils absorb. Restless leg can be due to low Mg and low thyroid due to gluten making antibodies to the thyroid. Gluten may hurt the adrenals and all glands. Hair tests are awesome to show minerals levels and heavy metals. Heavy metals may build up in Celiac people since their liver is not working well. Heavy metals may block zinc and other minerals from working right. Yes…at menopause some people maybe higher in iron and some men maybe high in iron if they eat a lot of red meat. . Some people donate blood or throw it away after an EDTA IV chelation IV to lower their iron levels. Iron may cause free radicals. Tests may not work to diagnose Celiac.

In reply to Katie - Wellness Mama. Does this brand of mag spray leave a white residue on your skin or burn?

Something to consider that has overlapping symptoms to adrenal fatigue. Hemachromatosis; high iron levels, a genetic condition. I had severe adrenal fatigue, then menopause which aggravated the adrenal fatigue. I also have restless leg syndrome. Had some blood work done which revealed high ferritin levels (not a standard iron level test). hemachromatosis in the US is 1 out of 200. In Ireland and Scotland, 1 in 4 people. Since I stopped periods I have been slowly being poisoned by high iron levels. symptoms are low energy, fatigue, depression, anger/frustration, low stamina, muscle weakness; but really these can be different with each individual. Not many physicians check for Hemachromatosis but should. The body begins to store iron in all the organs which begins slow breakdown. Google for more info.
