Do You Have Adrenal Fatigue?

What is adrenal fatigue? Adrenal fatigue is a collection of signs and symptoms, known as a syndrome, that results when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level. Its paramount symptom is fatigue that is not relieved by sleep.

 

Adrenal glands look like hats that sit upon our kidneys. The adrenals allow us to adapt to changes in the environment. They are chiefly responsible for regulating the stress response through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamine, including cortisol and adrenaline. But when our adrenal glands can not meet the demands of stress, adrenal fatigue results. Stress has us in what is known as the 'fight or flight' state. When in this state the adrenocortical hormone is released into the blood stream. The fluctuation of adrenal hormones results in exhausted adrenal glands, causing fatigue, insomnia, irritability, depression, PMS and symptoms related to menopause.

 

The mind-body connection is very evident with the adrenals. Certain emotions, such as anxiety, fear and anger, affect the production of adrenal hormones. Times of personal stress, such as moving, separation and loss greatly influence our stress levels.

 

Adrenal fatigue can seriously disrupt your well-being. In some cases, the activity of the adrenal glands is so diminished that it may be difficult to be out of bed for more than a few hours per day. As adrenal function reduces, our organs are profoundly affected. We experience changes in our macronutrient metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance and cardiovascular system. Changes at the biochemical and cellular levels occur to compensate for the decrease in adrenal hormones that comes with adrenal fatigue.

 

There is a way to test your adrenals simply and privately at home. The Osumex Adrenal Function Urine Test allows you to check adrenal stress and fatigue using a non-invasive method. This test measures the salt content of a urine sample quickly and accurately utilizing a simple titration procedure.

 

It is important to know if you have adrenal fatigue so that you can best deal with it, in a way that suits you. By testing yourself at home you are able to determine if your adrenals are in need of some support.
