Listen "Adrenal Fatigue?"
Episode Synopsis
Is it Adrenal Fatigue?
No matter what call it, we all hit the wall sometimes. If you’ve been drawing on your resources for months or years, it time to rebuild, and it will take time!
You need to give your body the signals that the crisis is over, and the resources to put back wheats taken out. Sleeping more can, paradoxically, cause you to feel more tired than when you were going full tilt. But really, you are now feeling the fatigue that was there all along. It can take a few months of better sleep to feel a significant lift in energy, but by that time your mental state should be much better!
Resting in little bits throughout the day is a key signal to your brain to make less cortisol - if you keep powering through fatigue it’s much harder to rebuild.
Supplements for minerals, especially iron, should give you a lift with a few weeks. Don’t worry about missing a day, your body will be happy for whatever it gets!
