JumpyTheFrog Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Someone here said they healed their adrenal fatigue by eating every few hours, day and night. I can't find the post. If you are the woman who did this, would you mind sharing your story again? I've been battling it for almost eight years and need to try something different.

plain jane Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have. But I caught it early and I think that really helped. Things I did: Acupuncture Homeopathic tincture specifically for adrenal support Being religious about being in bed and sleeping by 10pm every single night Cut out coffee completely Eating every couple hours and being very mindful of blood sugar Reducing all stress- to the point where I took all the kids out of activities for 6 mos- no rushing like mad out of the house, late dinners, being hurried from place to place etc. Essential oils- I know these can be a hot topic and I didn't rely on them much but I did use them. Nutmeg in particular. YL also has a couple others specifically for adrenals. But I am not "going there" on this thread. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 To add to that list would be to cut all sugar and find ways to reduce stress, like yoga and meditation. Adrenal fatigue can be hard to correct and your mental state of mind is as important as your diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I might have mentioned going on an adrenal diet - veggies and protein at every meal. Small meals 5 to 6 times a day. But I still struggle with adrenal fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbelle Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I had it. I had hypothyroid diagnosed at the same time. My integrated endo suggested lots of rest, high vit c, b complex, some adrenal support mix. I can't remember it all, but after about 6 months I was better.

*Inna* Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 How timely! I've been just diagnosed with it. What are the good sources to learn more about this condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Adrenal fatigue is usually a secondary issue. In other words, something is depleting your adrenals. It might be thyroid. It might be a virus. It might be hidden infections. Sometimes you can just treat the adrenals and it will work because the original problem was already fixed or gets fixed while treating it. Sometimes you haven't found the underlying source and treating the adrenals just keeps it from getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickerplum Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Has healing your adrenals aided weight loss that may have been hindered due to adrenal fatigue? I have thyroid issues in addition to adrenal fatigue and weight loss is a struggle. I wonder if they go hand in hand...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It's a struggle for me too but then I haven't actually healed my adrenals. I think there might be a bit of a vicious circle there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 How do you know if they are healed? I had some health issues this summer and am feeling much better. I'd still like to have some more energy, but I'm pleased with my progress. I have been taking some adrenal supplements, along with some other vitamins for Vitamin B12 deficiency/folate, and some to help with copper toxicity. They seem to be working.

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well, I would assume if they were healed that I would be able to function better than only 4 days out of 7. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ok, then I think I'm doing pretty good with my cocktail. :) All symptoms have disappeared, energy is returning. I'll take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
