Feeling Drained, Wired, and Wondering Why?
You wake up feeling exhausted, no matter how early you went to bed.
You push through the day with coffee, feeling anxious, foggy, or irritable.
Your energy crashes, and you crave sugar or salty snacks just to get by.
By evening, you’re either wired and restless or completely flat.
These aren’t random symptoms. They are hallmark signs of adrenal fatigue — a condition linked to chronic stress and hormone imbalance.
At Global Health Clinics, we help clients identify the root causes of fatigue and restore their health through integrative, personalized care.
What Is Adrenal Fatigue?
Your adrenal glands, located just above your kidneys, produce critical hormones — most importantly, cortisol.
Cortisol regulates your metabolism, immune response, blood sugar, blood pressure, and how your body handles stress.
When you experience stress — whether physical, emotional, or environmental — cortisol rises to help your body cope. This is a healthy response in short bursts.
But when stress becomes chronic, your adrenals struggle to keep up. This leads to cortisol imbalances that affect your energy, mood, weight, and immune system.
Common Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue
- Constant fatigue, even after sleep
- Difficulty waking in the morning
- Poor sleep or waking frequently at night
- Anxiety, irritability, or low mood
- Cravings for salty or sugary foods
- Unexplained weight gain, especially around the middle
- Low libido
- Frequent colds or infections
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Dizziness when standing quickly
How Cortisol Affects Hormonal Balance
Cortisol is designed to follow a daily rhythm — peaking in the morning to wake you up and tapering off at night to help you sleep.
Chronic stress disrupts this rhythm, leaving you with cortisol levels that are either too high, too low, or fluctuate unpredictably.
This imbalance affects more than just energy:
- Thyroid hormones slow down, affecting metabolism and mood
- Sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone become imbalanced, leading to low libido, mood swings, menstrual irregularities, or menopausal symptoms
- Insulin sensitivity drops, contributing to blood sugar swings and weight gain
What Contributes to Adrenal Fatigue?
- High-pressure jobs or life circumstances
- Lack of quality sleep or irregular sleep patterns
- Poor nutrition, frequent caffeine or sugar intake
- Chronic illness, pain, or inflammation
- Emotional trauma, unresolved stress, or grief
- Over-exercising or leading a sedentary lifestyle
