How to Overcome Adrenal Fatigue | Dr. Josh Axe

1. Realise it doesn't exist
2. Do nothing

Thank you! That was excellent!

Hey doc. Just wanted to chime in and say how frustrating it has been over the years to keep hearing how important sleep is and to get more sleep. I'm well into my second decade of poor sleep. I've tried many modalities to help me sleep. I learned about 3 years ago I my sex hormones were nil, adrenal burnout and a slow thyroid. I've been on HRT for almost 3 years. I decided yesterday to stop usin HRT. I also quit taking my thyroid medication about a year ago. I moved out of state and haven't been able to find a functional medicine endocrinologist her in rural upstate NY or VT. So I can get my thyroid tested properly. I have all of the thyroid symptoms and adrenals too. I'm 13 days into eating just meat, salt, water, and as many animal fats my body can handle.

I haven’t overcome it...btw it should really be called HPA axis dysfunction. It’s very complicated bc it is really a broken brain that causes symptoms. I am in my 70s and don’t realistically expect to recover, but since taking DHEA, I do expect improvement of my severe fatigue. This condition is fucking hell!

❤ ❤ ❤

Tired after exercise is also asign of a fatigue syndrome. I had this for 35 years, no one knew about this then and was called lazy. It doesn’t get overcome! We exercise, we oay the next day. And if you cant sleep no point telling us to get sleep😂however, It can improve and be manageable. Walking, alternate days and build up strength and diet as this doctor says. And goid luck getting rid of stress in this extroverted , noisy world. But you have to try. As in all things, get out of the comfort zone:)

Does ashwahanda make your hair thin?

Is it related to low dhea levels ?
Mine was at 149 and i feel a lot of the same symptoms...

Yep caffeine had to go. Doing so much better! I could barely even walk a month ago. Adding in infrared sauna tomorrow

This 8 year old video is still on point.

I think exhaust fuel bombs...also cause exhaustion...and even kills parakeets.

The reason you need to get off coffee is that it causes inflammation which affects the adrenals.

Dr. Axe you really are amazing!! Thank you SO much! About how long would you think it takes to heal Adrenal fatigue? Love your channel! ❤️

Thank you Dr.Axe

Thank you Dr. Axe!

Great advice ❤

Is this possible with having 2# adrenal mass....?

Hmmm if you have adrenal fatigue I don’t think you’d be in the gym for hours

Raw Dairy, I know some people don't want to hear it but it fully healed my adrenal issues and got my sleep back to normal

High b12 and magnesium
Cocunut oil milk and meat, olives olive oil and raw dairy
Seaweed and hugh quality meat
Adaptogen herbs
Ashwaganda , holy basil, liqorice route, ginseng

Is 1 cup of coffee ok?

But what if because of your adrenal dysfunction you have chronic onset insomnia therefore you’re not getting the sleep you so desperately need? That is my case and I have yet to come across anyone who talks about what to do when you have insomnia due to it?

Why do adaptogens make me grind my teeth and set off my fibromyalgia? What do you do when even low doses are too stimulating?

About half of what you said is wrong. You are talking rubbish. Charlatan. Get a real degree.

Can we eat chocolate or consume cocoa instead of coffee?

I desperately need to break my chocolate habit!

Wow, thank you, I just subscribed to your channel. The caffeine in the morning and coffee catch ups will be challenging 🙏❤️

Thanks for this video, I just want to share the things that helped me:

1. ACV Lemon Water every morning
2. Less meat more veggies
3. Hydration


I saw a massive spike in my energy in less than a week of taking ACV and now my hypersomnia and fatigue is gone <3


Will also add Sauna :)

I can’t eat chard,kale upset tum

thanks

Thanks for the video. This resonates a lot. Is there a link between Adrenal fatigue and night eating syndrome?

Thank you very useful

This is a great video! I'm going to take notes and follow this advice.

My problem is that I can't do tiring things, otherwise I'm ok and I have a lot of energy and I sleep well but if I do something tiring I'm on the verge of a crash... any ideas please i m desperate

You forgot to mention the part where adrenal fatigue is not actually a real thing people need to worry about

This video is terrible… you can’t sleep when you have adrenal fatigue… if adrenals are messed then your thyroid is messed up…

I am very often tired but my DHEA is very, very high. Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Hi, how much Ashwaganda do you suggest? Which form? Liquid, powder or pills? How do you know if Ashwaganda is best for you pr holy basil? Thank you

I really struggled with Arendal Fatigue during the pandemic due to very high levels of stress and anxiety. Only now beginning to understand what it was!

I feel this video is not sponsored. He spotted all the right reasons of adrenal fatigue with right priority. Caffeine and sugar are the no 1 reason of adrenal fatigue.

Morninga ?

Thank you and All the best

Cut out caffeine
Cut out sugar
Eat coconut oil, coconut milk
Raw dairy, organic meat
Spinach, seaweed
Olives, olive oil.
Take ashwaganda, holy basil and liquorice root
B12 supplements
Magnesium and selenium
Lower stress, get better sleep 8-10 hours.
Write down all.things that stress you out and work on it.
Have more fun,add joy into your life.
Do stress reduction exercises like pilates, tai chi, walking in nature.

Dr. Axe, Ten months ago I had a stroke. I sleep well and have recovered well. But I still fight every day with weakness in my legs. Most of the time they feel heavy. Would your protocol in this video help with my condition? Thank you.

Tapering off, will implement immediately! Thank you sooo much!!!

I cut my caffeine intake down to one cup of coffee a day. I had to have a nap every day! I couldn’t keep up with my son who is now 5. Back on two cups of coffee every morning and sometimes green or black tea in the afternoon. I am overweight and miserable. I’ve tried to change my diet. I quit the sugar and feel great when I’m off of it. I am tired all the time no matter what I do though.
I’m miserable.

I can’t take b12 because my liver has too much on bloodwork. I do take a adrenal complex and a b complex w no b12 or folate. I do take D and epa/DHA and I drink coconut water.

Sleep

Gracias

People r sick because thy eat too.much these days. The diet is too rich. Too many nutrients r as bad as too little nutrients. Our ancestors didn't eat nearly the amount we do. U only need one plate of food per day.. not 3 times per day. Too much.
