Adrenal Fatigue Studio City & Los Angeles

Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome has become more common due to the fast-paced, high stress daily environments produced with modern lifestyles. This syndrome is usually brought on with stress, and it can cause men and women to wear down their adrenal glands. The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and are no bigger than the size of a walnut. Their sole function is to help the body deal with stress. They affect every tissue, organ, and cell, and they also influence thoughts and emotions. The adrenal glands secrete hormones in order to help the body maintain functions while dealing with stress.

Stress can come in many forms, and each day small stressors begins to wear on the adrenal glands. If the adrenal glands do not have time to recover, and a large traumatic event occurs, the adrenals may stop functioning at optimum levels. The adrenal glands respond to stress the same way, no matter what the cause of the stress may be. Physical, emotional, and mental stress can induce the adrenal glands. The number of stressors, how long they last, the frequency they occur, and the intensity affect the way the body deals with stress in the long run.

A Whole-Body Approach to Healing Adrenal Fatigue

When my patients complain of exhaustion along with having high levels of stress in their life as an ongoing thing, I suspect adrenal burn out or adrenal fatigue. When adrenals are not working properly, one may experience fatigue, dizziness or difficulty focusing on the task in front of oneself, feeling tired when challenged with some monumental deadline or a presentation that needs to be prepared in speed break time, loss of motivation, Heart palpitations, difficulty getting good night rest, low blood pressure or feeling dizzy when getting up from sitting position, exercise intolerance or low body weight.

One usually feels better in horizontal position than upright position of the body. When a person feels stressed, the adrenal glands are forced to excrete cortisol, which is a steroidal hormone that protects the body from inflammation created with stress. Over time, the constant excretion of cortisol begins to fatigue the adrenal glands, and because the adrenals produce reserve stores of sex hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, it may cause the body to steal the materials needed to make these sex hormones and convert them into more cortisol.

The body chooses to do this because the body can continue to live with hormone deficiencies, but it could literally die from the internal inflammation produced from stress. This process exhausts the adrenals, and it can produce or exacerbate sex hormone deficiencies.

Risk Factors For Developing Adrenal Fatigue

Anyone with a high stress lifestyle can acquire adrenal fatigue syndrome; however, people going through middle-aged changes are more at risk for developing adrenal fatigue syndrome because their sex hormones are already beginning to decline. Another group of individuals at risk for developing adrenal fatigue are those that stay up all night long for recreational purposes or that must stay up all night working. The body is programmed to get drowsy when it gets dark, but when a person stays up or must ignore the natural chemical drowsiness, the adrenal glands are forced excrete adrenaline to keep the body awake. If this happens once in awhile, the adrenals have time to recover from this, but if it occurs on a regular basis, the body cannot recover, which fatigues the adrenal glands.

How Do We Diagnose Adrenal Fatigue?

Of course, diagnostic tests for adrenal fatigue have to be done to diagnose this condition. These include a 24 hr urine test for cortisol and other adrenal hormones, as well as a saliva test to determine the rhythm of cortisol secretion during a 24 hr period. If your test results prove your adrenals are not functioning properly, adding more salt to your diet will allow your adrenals to rest so that they can repair themselves.

What Can Be Done About Adrenal Fatigue?

Dr. Anju Mathur and the team at Angel Longevity Medical Center are passionate about treating patients with adrenal fatigue. With a targeted combination of healing herbs, low-dose cortisol, and DHEA, the adrenal glands can often be restored to normal, productive function within just a few months. Once the adrenal system is repaired, patients may no longer need these supplements—provided they make the necessary lifestyle changes and address the underlying causes of their condition.

Patients undergoing hormone replacement therapy who also suffer from adrenal fatigue often benefit greatly from wellness IV drips. During periods of stress, the body requires higher amounts of B-complex vitamins. Riboflavin (vitamin B2), a key component of this group, is naturally yellow and plays a critical role in supporting the body's stress response. Adding B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C to IV therapy can help the body better manage stress. These nutrients are so effective at combating stress that even conventional medical practitioners acknowledge their importance.

As an adrenal fatigue specialist, Dr. Mathur helps both men and women identify the root causes of their symptoms through her comprehensive Back to Wellness Program. Because adrenal fatigue can stem from multiple contributing factors, it is essential to determine the correct cause and address it without adding further strain to an already overburdened hormonal system.

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) helps correct hormone imbalances that contribute to adrenal fatigue symptoms.
