Adrenal Fatigue



Feel tired, unmotivated, foggy-headed or like you’ve “hit the wall”?

Tired of waking up tired? Hitting the wall mid morning or mid afternoon?

Get a sudden burst of energy when you should be winding down at night?

Your body clock could be out of balance and you could have adrenal fatigue. The adrenals regulate our stamina and energy hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. When these are out of balance from our busy “burn the candle at both ends” lifestyles, we can end up with adrenal fatigue.

Many people with adrenal fatigue have gone to their GP and their blood test results are normal and don’t reflect their fatigue. This is where seeing one of the Naturopaths at Vibe Natural Health in Brisbane for investigations into adrenal fatigue may be useful. Treatment with herbal medicine and nutrition can boost adrenal function to help you feel energised again.

SYMPTOMS OF ADRENAL FATIGUE may include:
  • excessive fatigue and exhaustion
  • non-refreshing sleep (you get enough hours of sleep, but wake tired)
  • feeling rundown
  • overwhelmed by life or unable to cope with stressors
  • craving salty and sweet foods
  • you feel most energetic in the evening
  • having disturbed sleep/ insomnia/ waking during the night
  • low stamina, slow to recover from exercise
  • slow to recover from injury, illness or stress
  • difficulty concentrating, brain fog
  • poor digestion
  • low immune function
  • food or environmental allergies
  • premenstrual syndrome or difficulties that develop during menopause
  • consistent low blood pressure extreme sensitivity to cold or excessive sweating
Get tested for adrenal fatigue with the Naturopaths at Vibe Natural Health in Brisbane. We offer Saliva Cortisol testing for adrenal fatigue. This tracks your stress and energy hormone, cortisol, 4 times in a normal day of your life. If you have adrenal fatigue, your cortisol will be below normal range, leading you to feel tired, hormonal and possibly gaining weight.
