ADRENAL FATIGUE

Tired of feeling this way?

We all experience stress and even exhaustion at times, but chronic ongoing stress can lead to adrenal fatigue and burn out resulting in physical, emotional and mental health challenges

Tired? Overwhelmed? Flat?

Stress and burnout aren’t signs of weakness. It’s your body telling you that you’ve been doing too much, for too long without support.

Let me help you figure out what you need to feel healthy, happy and in control again

Discover life beyond burnout

Unique to my approach is therapeutic wellness coaching and therapies that reset your nervous system, retrain your brain, provide emotional and trauma healing, and mindset and behaviour changes, to provide immediate and sustainable changes.

Too many people in our modern world are tired and dream of having more energy. Life’s so busy, it’s hard to find work-life balance and time for self-care. Nowadays, being tired, busy, stressed all seem ‘normal’.

But lowered energy is not a natural state.

The Stress Response System (fight, flight or freeze) is activated when we perceive a threat (real or imagined), releasing stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline) and other chemicals from the adrenals, two tiny glands with big impact for our physical function and emotional regulation.

Cortisol is released when your body is under any physical stress, infections, blood sugar issues, nutrient deficiencies, under eating, over-exercising, over-working, injuries, toxins and inflammation.

Ongoing release of hormones with constant stress places an enormous demand on the adrenal glands, gradually wearing them down leading to leading to exhaustion.

In order to perform your best, you need a full tank of mental, emotional, and physical resources. If you’re in the burnout cycle, you drain your resources before being able to refill the tank.

When you reach this point, you don’t have the internal resources you need to manage stressors. The problem is you keep going, keeping you stuck in the burnout loop.

Adrenal fatigue occurs when stress exceeds the body’s ability to adjust to and cope with the demands it’s placed on the body.

Once you get stuck in the chronic stress, burnout cycle, it can be hard to get out. And it can be even harder to know what to do to prevent yourself from getting sucked back in. I educate and give you the resources to create a healthy, sustainable, enjoyable life.

Using the functional wellness approach to identify causes, address adrenal health and contributing factors, to overcome physical, mental, emotional and spiritual stress. I help you break the burnout cycle, rebuild your adrenals, and get your energy back!

Functional Testing Assessment 

Standard lab testing often miss adrenal fatigue symptoms:

Fatigue, body aches, weight changes, dizziness, hair loss…

Symptoms are a great place to start, but I test (not guess) for accurate assessment, testing cortisol levels via saliva, at different points of the day and night plus blood testing first thing in the morning.

Fatigue testing and assessments to understand all underlaying factors

Physical: 

  • Insomnia, sleep apnoea, pain
  • Thyroid, hormonal and blood sugar imbalances
  • Poor diet, nutrient deficiencies, aneamia
  • Gut issues, dysbiosis, IBS, leaky gut, food allergies
  • Adrenal insufficiency
  • Toxin overload, medication side effects, environmental stressors

Psychological: chronic stress, emotional shock, trauma, depression and anxiety, negative behavioral traits and thought patterns, personality sub-type predispositions, energy prioritisation, life purpose, unprocessed trauma, emotional well-being

Lifestyle: alcohol, drugs, exercise, caffeine, night shifts, daytime naps

Treatment for effective results

No two people are the same. Adrenal fatigue can present differently in everyone.

Personalised, targeted treatment delivers better outcomes.  Treating the nervous system, brain chemistry, biology, genetics, hormones, digestion, mental and emotional health may be required for full recovery.

Recovery is enhanced with emotional healing, mindset coaching, behavioural and lifestyle changes and neurofeedback therapies.

Mind-body therapies reset your nervous system, retrain your brain, provide emotional healing, mindset and behaviour changes.

Therapies include: breath, Vagus Nerve and Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, HeartMath, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping), Matrix Reimprinting, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) and Neurofeedback brain training.

I was fortunate to meet Carolyn about 8 years ago.  At my first consultation, I immediately felt comfortable with her.  She has a beautiful, warm and compassionate nature and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to health and nutritional support.  
She has supported me through adrenal fatigue, hormone balancing and keeping my immune system strong during this time.  I don’t have any hesitation in recommending Carolyn to my friends, family and clients.

Adrenal fatigue affects millions of people – are you one of them?

Adrenal fatigue is a serious epidemic affecting many. Whilst not yet seriously recognised by the medical profession, every day I see more and more people suffering the affects of adrenal dysfunction, and believe me, their symptoms are real.

The fact is most of us experience stress in our every day living, and feeling tired almost seems ‘normal’. Our busy, fast paced, modern world places us under continual, constant stress like never before. This gradual, consistent pressure has a cumulative effect that over time wears down the adrenal glands, depleting energy, making people feel tired all the time or just plain exhausted.

Symptoms and the level of adrenal “burn out” vary for each person, made worse by poor dietary choices, no exercise or relaxation, lack of sleep, alcohol, smoking, physical illness, trauma, emotional and financial stress.

To overcome tiredness people start relying on stimulants like coffee, energy drinks or sugary, carbohydrate heavy processed foods, to get going in the morning and keep going for the rest of the day. Unfortunately both stimulants and sugar significantly deplete the adrenal glands further, plus stimulants can interfere with sleep further worsening the situation.

You can still look and act relatively normal whilst actually having adrenal fatigue. There may be no obvious signs of physical illness; instead just a feeling of being unwell, rundown, flat, irritable and tiredness not relieved by sleep.

If you find yourself constantly fatigued, struggling to get out of bed in the mornings, have difficulty falling asleep even though you’re exhausted and unable to cope with stressful situations then you may be suffering from adrenal fatigue.

It’s essential that you determine whether it really is adrenal fatigue and at what stage of dysfunction your adrenals are operating.

Besides adrenal dysfunction, there are many health issues, some very serious, that can cause fatigue. Other causes of fatigue include; hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, nutrient deficiencies, depression, mental illness, heavy metal toxicity, digestive disorders, chronic infections and auto-immune disorders. Often these health issues also adversely impact the adrenal glands. But sometimes it’s the adrenal fatigue driving thyroid, hormonal, digestive and mental health issues.

So it’s vitally important to work with a qualified health practitioner who can diagnose you correctly, identify the underlying cause(s) of your fatigue to design a treatment program that effectively restores your energy and wellbeing.

Next week you will learn how to tell if you have adrenal fatigue or are just really tired.
