Is Adrenal Fatigue Farce or Fact?
Manage episode 226692695 series 2366424
You may have heard the term adrenal fatigue but did you know that there is currently no such accepted medical diagnosis?
Generally, adrenal fatigue refers to a cluster of symptoms which may include fatigue, body aches, weight changes, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and may even contribute to PCOS.
Adrenal insufficiency is recognized medically as Addison's disease and occurs when there is inadequate production of adrenal gland hormones as a result of another underlying disease.
Adrenal fatigue refers to a less severe form of adrenal insufficiency caused by chronic stress from our perpetually high-paced lifestyles. Many women may be suffering from these symptoms for years with no solution as blood tests often come back normal.
This leaves the questions:
1. Does adrenal fatigue exist and should it be recognized in medicine?
2. What tests can show if adrenal fatigue is the culprit to your mystery symptoms?
3. What is the solution to reversing symptoms and damage done by chronic stress?
Dr. Nisha Chellam is a Board certified Internist who is also board certified in Integrative and Holistic medicine. She believes that diminished health and vitality can be reclaimed by just about any proactive person at any age.
