Adrenal fatigue is rarely the cause of what is going on in your body and is almost always secondary to some other problem in the body.
Here’s how it works:
The adrenal glands are the anti-inflammatory glands of the body.
If there is something in the body producing inflammation then the adrenals have to work really hard to try and stop the inflammation.
If the inflammation never resolves then the adrenals are constantly overworked and eventually fatigue.
Some of the things that would cause adrenal stressing inflammation would be; stealth infections such as, parasites, yeast, bacteria, fungus, mold, viruses and more.
In addition, heavy metal toxicity, environmental toxins and food sensitivities are just a few of the things that can negatively impact the adrenals.
