You shouldn’t need to add an additional supplement if you are taking the adrenal support supplement

I would look at tips given in this article as well as these articles:

Hard to say. You may have a food sensitivity. I would focus on healing your gut

I truly Appreciate your wealth of knowledge and your refreshing approach on wellness.

I resonate with your clear and concise communication style, simple yet strait forward, Thank U.

Gr8 info on adrenals in general, however looking 4 specific protocol for Extreme adrenal exhaustion, self diagnosed of course.
I believe its epidemic ; )

I was never a caffeine consumer as coffee makes me irritable and edgy and never needed it.
But now I cannot function without a stimulant. Coke cola was working short term but fizzled out, along with my precious minerals I learned, so no longer an option, thankfully!

I am in dire need of a reliable and effective stimulant that works with my body rather than against it, as my lifestyle and dietary changes although healthy still leave me depleted and drained of NRG.
My zippy D do-da disappeared long ago, and I could sleep all day and night with no recharge whatsoever.

How does one make cortisol?

Please advise on what you would suggest to provide NRG 2 function thru the day?

I realize I may also b low in iron and possibly B12, supplements are in my routine but take time to work and I need something for nrg today and everyday, not a quick fix, but an NRG assistant…….

would a B12 shot help me with quicker NRG?

A Coffee substitute more effective than green tea would be helpful…..

I heard licorice but not the candy kind, how does that work?

Thank U 4 sharing & caring,

looking forward to your response

Blessings ~

I feel my cortisol just collapsed….the well has run dry

Is there any hope to get cortisol pumping again???

Much

Make sure you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night, cut out sugars and grains of your diet, try using grapefruit essential oil, and try a licorice supplement.

You are typically better off only exercising lightly while trying to heal from adrenal fatigue

Veronica, did you use the liquid or the tea? How long did it take to start feeling better? Like you, I have abused my body for years and have felt awful for years with no result. I just recently started looking into adrenal fatigue and it sounds exactly like what I have. But still unsure how to fix it.

I would follow recommendations given in this article. Also check these out:

I would cut out grains and gluten, sugars, fruits and dairy.

I agree, it absolutely does!

I would consult with your physician regarding your concerns and discuss with him different testing options available and relevant to you

I personally use Terrain Holy Basil by Beyond Organic and do a tbsp of it each day!

WOW! Thank you for sharing your story. I’m SO sorry that you are going through this!!! I just wanted to post because I can relate to your feelings of going from a “productive” person to someone who LITERALLY cannot get off the couch some days!!! Please know that you are not alone. I definitely have SEVERE adrenal fatigue and yes my body has “crashed” now. I’m on the mend… doing all I can but it seems that is a long and slow process!!! Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing!

Dr. Axe, can you give specifically what tests are needed for this?? I have been suffering from profound fatigue for years. I have gone to so many doctors over the years and none have prescribed any kind of adrenal testing……I have been searching for so long !! Please Help!!

I recommend following dosage amounts on the supplements. I would also follow tips from these articles:

One of the ways to know for sure is to get testing done

Hi Liz. Just to give you some more feedback on the green tea – I really love green tea and didn’t want to give it up, but I found that every time I had it I would crash soon afterwards and my adrenals would physically ache. So definitely listen to your body on this one. If you love the taste like me there is always decaf :)

Where do you get that? What oils are in it? Thanks!

Some people do well with green tea some do not. Listen to your body on it. You can always cut it out and add it back in later on after you have given your adrenals time to rest. Krill oil and fish oil will have the same effect on your gallbladder. I personally like fish oil more and consume that.

I would find a maximized living chiropractor in your area.

Is Krill oil a comparable substitute for fish oil -we have burping up issues with fish oil [and truthfully the krill at times also]. I have gallbladder issues so can’t handle too much fat at one time, so the krill is more manageable. Is there perhaps another option that would give me the benefits of fish/krill oil & be easier on the digestive system/gallbladder?

Sherrie, I had Lyme for about 14 years before I was finally diagnosed. I was told by several that there was nothing wrong with me, it was all in my head; my shampoo was the problem and to use baby shampoo … blah, blah, blah. I have a wonderful doctor in Hendersonville, TN who is a naturopath and a Lyme literate medical doctor (LLMD). He treated me with the Borrelia series therapy made by Deseret Biologicals. It was hard to get through, but it works. I’ve been in treatment for three years now and am a great deal better. I had Lyme so long that it caused a lot of damage, so now some of my body systems are still healing, especially my thyroid and adrenals. I also had mercury poisoning, heavy metals poisoning, and Candida. I only had one co-infection, Bartonella. The anxiety caused by Lyme is horrible. You might want to consider the possibility of having Candida. Lyme feeds off Candida, and Candida causes weight gain, sleep problems such as insomnia, and fatigue. Wishing you the best!

Although nothing works for everyone, diet is THE biggie. Keep on trying things and keep good records about what works for you. THERE IS HOPE!!!
