Question 2

how to determine if i have adrenal fatigue?

Accepted Answer

See endocrinologist: The adrenal makes cortisol and adrenaline, both of which are stress hormones. People who are stressed out and having trouble coping are sometimes persuaded that it’s the adrenal’s fault. This is usually not true. Poor adrenal function is determined by an acth (cotrosyn) stim test, not by simply measuring a random blood/saliva level. See an endocrinologist if you have concerns.

Question 3

are there any helpful tips in managing adrenal fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Adrenal Fatigue: Adrenal fatigue often leads to chronic fatigue syndrome, so it is very important to treat it.   The most important treatment is lifestyle.

Specifically, avoid overuse of stimulants since that puts more strain on the adrenals, increase your vitamin C, decrease your stress level, avoid overexercising, go to bed at a consistent time, maintain steady blood sugar, and consider using adaptogens.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Feed your adrenals : Cortisol - as are all corticosteroids is derived from cholesterol. Studies have shown that a high saurated fat, low polyunsaturated fat diet will increase corticosteroid levels. Also supplementation with pregnenolone will increase ability of your adrenals to make cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and other corticoids. Reduce all forms of stress. Get sleep and sunlight.

Question 9

is adrenal fatigue pupil test always true?

Accepted Answer

worthless test: Even in complete adrenal failure (addisions disease) I am unaware of this sign.  I would place no reliability on this sign.
"adrenal fatigue" is a fake diagnosis, and this is a fake sign that tries to trick you into thinking you have something.  Elsewhere on healthtap, there are many answers to the question of adrenal fatigue by many doctors.

Question 10

is corn bread good to eat with adrenal fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Adrenal fatigue is not widely accepted to be a medical diagnosis by endocrinologists. If you meant 'adrenal insufficiency, ' then i'd say there usually is no recommended diet, so corn bread is neither good or bad.
