Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

I've learned through experience that the best way to lower stress is to make the word "No" one of my best friends."

My exercise is the warm-up. After the warm-up, I am done. I don't know exactly but my get-up has got-up and gone. 😮

God bless you Peter Osborne you’re helping so many of us out here that need all the help we can get information for what to do. I got Addison’s disease and I need all the support I can get I’m not on any medication not yet but I’m really having a very, very difficult time, but I really appreciate all the knowledge I learn from you. It’s very helpful thank you God bless you.🥰❤️

Great video.

Thank you dr Osborne great eye opening ! listening from Mexico cty 🇲🇽 do u know any specialists like these here ? Have been experiencing a lot of these symptoms lately,, but regular Doctrs don’t solve these my these problems ✌️ Thanking so much ❤

I certainly have had the symptoms of adrenal weakness, and I’ve been diagnosed with Addison’s. Just in case it helps anybody else, here is what I have learned and what has helped me personally. You have to stay alkaline. Weak adrenals are associated with acidity. I noticed that if my pH strips with urine were below 6.5 or seven, that I would be very fatigued. But that if I had higher Ph levels, I would feel much better. Weak adrenals can also cause hypoglycemia per a doctor I had in the past. And I have suffered from hypoglycemia. I try to eat a lot of alkalizing things and drink a lot of grapefruit juice, unsweetened. But in addition to that, I have a quart of water, using a filter that causes greater pH levels, with a splash of lemon juice in it. And I sip on that throughout the day. In addition, I found some drops on Amazon that alkalize you. They have made a great difference in my energy levels. Some brands do, and some don’t really. You have to test with pH strips to be sure you are really getting what you need. The brand I use recommends a few drops a day. But since I have Addison’s, I have about 20 drops a day spaced out here and there. After over a month I have had no side effects from that just more energy. Keep testing your pH levels. As you experiment, you will find out what gets you alkalized. And by the way, it is very common that people with adrenal weakness also have hypothyroidism, though commonly it is not diagnosed or can even be misdiagnosed. I used to take hydrocortisone. That can definitely be effective. But taking adrenal gland supplements has also worked just as well for me personally.

Great video Would you do a video on Modified citrus pectin

Thank you ❤

10 years plus these. And i don't know way out. The few people around think im just getting dementia or not focused, though im caregiver and no support. Not yet anyway. Struggling....

Thank you!!!

walk my dogs now as this solve everything they are real blessing

I appreciate your videos Dr. Osborne! I would love to see functional doctors talk more on the role candida plays with adrenals/HPA Axis/Endocrine system/vagus nerve and our organs. I do not see much out there online about how candida overgrowth affects these bodily systems, especially when someone is trying to eradicate it. It seems like a lot of people who try to detox candida either through diet (low carb, keto, carnivore ) or supplements/antifungals make their adrenal fatigue worse? Personally, whenever I try to detox candida, I experience crazy B vitamin deficiencies and electrolyte imbalances. I am very low sodium, then the next week it is low potassium with POTS symptoms. I experience B1 deficiency where it gets so bad that I feel like I’m going into lactic acidosis. I experience several symptoms of elevated acid in my body including rapid, pounding heart, shallow breathing, air hunger, extreme muscle weakness, sleep apnea, low stomach acid, urine that feels like battery acid, inability to climb stairs or workout, burning muscles/joints, and bones that feels like they could easily break. Is it the acetaldehyde that candida is releasing that could cause this? I am forced to drink baking soda in water at night to get relief, though I’m also experiencing low stomach acid to begin with, so I try to take the baking soda long after my last meal. I never have sleep apnea unless I’m trying to detox candida, or the candida overgrowth has gotten out of control. It is a viscous circle of one thing causing the other, but it is definitely candida resisting the antifungals & trying to remain in the body robbing my body of nutrients. It is literal hell to get rid of. lol There are way too many people who have adrenal & candida issues for there not to be enough information out there correlating these two, unless I am missing it? I understand you can’t give medical advice, but I’d love to see this addressed generally for everyone who experiences similar symptoms. Thank you!!!

Having no support is the ultimate tip over edge.

thanx

What do I look for in my blood work that would indicate high cortisol levels?

I have Addison’s disease I was in the hospital I’m out now I’m not taking any medication, trying to heal myself naturally. Any advice from you would be nice of natural things.

I am here already. dUTCH test results showed almost flat line for cortisol.

How can the nutrients be measured? Excellent video, by the way.

I have a simple explanation: stress is a situation when brain need more energy. Energy is controlled by retinol (vitamin A; cell can't produce energy without retinol). So brain need more retinol => ACTH (is retinol sensitive) => cortisol. If you examine cortisol from the point of retinol as energy modulator you can realize the real role of cortisol. Cortisol maintain blood retinol level for the brain when liver can't do it by lowering organs retinol usage. Fat tissues are not energy stores they collect retinol and send back keeping the organ behind in a retinol deficient state. Problems begin when brain can't get more retinol (can't make more energy for itself). On the other hand if cortisol lowered a body function retinol supplementation won't help to restore. We need a opposite hormone. And fasten your seatbelt! Vitamin D (25(OH)D) is the opposite hormone of cortisol. D:A = 1:1 seems the best (but it is still question). Only retinil-palmitate is the safe form (artificial forms are toxic for the liver). And need calcium and magnesium because mitchocondria use a lot of calcium, magnesium is for ATP... From these you can derive vitamin D toxicity as retinol deficiency problem when vitamin D and cortisol interplay because liver retinol stores are depleted.

Hi Dr. Osborne. That's a great explanation of adrenal fatigue. Thank you so much ❤My morning serum cortisol is 10.6 µg/dL which is categorized as adrenal insufficiency. Is it permanent or temporary? Can adrenal glands fully recover?
