People may experience adrenal fatigue, a condition in which the adrenal glands are unable to manage current stress levels in the body.
A functional diagnosis of adrenal fatigue implies that the adrenal glands are functioning properly but require increased support such as nutrition, lifestyle changes and elimination of physical or mental stressors to help the gland work more effectively. Most people experiencing adrenal fatigue describe symptoms including difficulty waking in the morning, excessive sugar/carb cravings, fatigue occurring at 2:00pm and difficulty staying asleep at night.
