A List of Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms

Over time, excess physical and emotional stress, poor food choices and an unhealthy environment tax our adrenals to the limit. The adrenals are responsible for stress control. If we are in a constant state of fight or flight, these glands will become fatigued, exhausted and burnout. The healthy balance of cortisol and DHEA secretion will deteriorate along with our health.
