Adrenal Fatigue - Do you have it?

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a condition where your adrenal glands become "tired". This can be due to chronic stress or a host of other illnesses. Your adrenals control many critical hormones in the body. All body parts are affected if the adrenals are not performing optimally. Illness associated with this includes chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ovarian-adrenal-thyroid imbalance syndrome, estrogen dominance, and hypothyroidism.
