Do You Have Adrenal Fatigue?

It can present itself as depression, aching and exhaustion, burn out, fibromyalgia, auto-immune deficiencies, low sex drive, insomnia, hair loss, and a host of other things that make life a struggle every day. Adrenal fatigue will ultimately compromise your immune system, which is your health.

I remember first hearing about it nearly 20 years ago at a time when a series of external events had me running on fumes ... which is a good way to put it. Our adrenal glands manufacture cortisol and adrenalin, things I'm sure you're heard about, and associate, correctly, with the fight or flight response.

"I was running on adrenalin" you might say after giving a presentation, or simply on an ordinary day that began with a kid that wouldn't get dressed for school, running late on a jammed freeway, facing an angry boss ... You go into "overdrive," and stay there, and this makes you over-react to things and also causes more trouble for yourself as you elicit stressed reactions from others.

In fact, I'm sure you know people who are "addicted to adrenalin," those hard-driving Type A personalities who are always flaming and have a big ring of sweat under their arms. Or the new Type D, the ones who've gone through it to the other side, and are cynical, bitter and depressed. Depression, after all, has been called "anger without enthusiasm."

It's your body moving into basic survival mode, which it does in a split second. Your heart rate and blood pressure increase, your body goes after stored energy resources, pumps out chemicals, and makes you very, very "alert."

All well and good if there's a gun at your head, but when it's chronic, it's monstrously hard on your body, and takes it toll. How so? Well, as we learn in studying emotional intelligence, our reptilian brain -- the one with the basic instincts for survival has the strongest impact on us, and it doesn't really think. It's not good at rating "crises" on a scale of 1-10.

It also confuses a thought or memory with "now". You can raise your blood pressure telling an old war story, or listening to someone else's, right? Furthermore, and this is why EQ is so important, we all have different "set points." Some of us are more innately reactive to stressors than others. You know if you have kids -- with one you might have to raise your voice and really make your point. With the other, just a look will do.

Our lives are full of stressors. Then we eat poorly, the best of our food isn't that nutritious any more, and we get hooked on the temporary "highs" of carbs and caffeine. So there you are -- under-nourished, over-worked, bombarded with environmental toxins, unable to manage your emotions which take an added toll on your immune system, and locked into a nasty feedback loop.
