Fatigue or ‘adrenal fatigue’ includes symptoms like body aches, sugar cravings, anxiety, and feeling absolutely exhausted all the time, even after a long night of sleep. Although it’s technically not medically proven, the people who suffer from this have very real and detrimental symptoms.
The theory is that with if you have Addison’s Disease, your adrenal glands cannot produce sufficient hormones. As a consequence, the endocrine system cannot do its job.While doctors cannot prescribe medication for this, the foods we eat can help to get you out of that slump.
Furthermore, if you feel you are experiencing these symptoms, consult your doctor.
