Weil On Adrenal Fatigue
Many clients who frequent naturopathic doctors come away with a diagnosis of adrenal fatigue. What, exactly is adrenal fatigue and what are its symptoms? Alternative medical guru, Andrew Weil, MD, speaks out about adrenal fatigue.
Some alternative practitioners claim that constant stress drains the adrenals, leading to a drop in the hormones that help your body function normally, but I don't buy it.
Several adrenal-gland deficiency disorders exist, but these are serious conditions with challenging symptoms that require careful diagnosis and treatment. Learn more about them from the National Institutes of Health.
Weil suggests a B-complex vitamin, a daily walk, and relaxation techniques (such as massage) to help reduce stress.
