adrenal fatigue

May 21, 2006

I think I have had " adrenal fatigue " since the age of 26. (I'm now 31

and pregnant with my 2nd baby). I have recently become motivated to

start adressing this issue. I'm sure my husband also has adrenal

fatigue. For both of us, it is most certainly related to stress. We

had a doctor tell us that most Americans experience adrenal fatigue by

age 28. It took a couple of years to identify my own fatigue, but I

looked back a few years ago and somehow came up with age 26 as when it

became noticable in me.

I am wondering what I can do to address it, besides TRYING to go with

a WAP style diet. I do the best I can given that I'm in a period of

life that involves intense hands-on parenting with (almost) two kids

in diapers, when just getting food in our stomachs is sometimes the

best I can do. At least we are mostly organic and somewhat

pasture-fed. I am relying on supplements a lot to get us through, but

working within a budget, too. (I just posted also about minerals)

When trying to follow the WAP/NT diet becomes more of a stress than a

joy, I question the value. Like I said, I do my best and have a long

way to go to implement some of the NT components.

QUESTIONS:

Does taking freeze-dried adrenal glands like the stuff you find at

can see where the glands taken as a food provide more vitamins,

minerals, fats, etc. as a food, but do they also have some sort of

hormonal action? It seems like there are some things that just

wouldn't work to take orally, that you would have to inject something,

maybe?

Should I see a doctor for hormone balancing? What kind of doctor?

Should I try to go to Dr. Mercola himself?

Where do I begin?
