Adrenal Dysfunction

Do you often feel tired?

Have you discovered why you are tired?

Would you like to have more energy?

I treat low energy by first looking for the cause. I explore anemia, thyroid, cardiovascular, and adrenal causes of fatigue. My goal is to find and treat the cause of your fatigue. Our first visit together includes a thorough history and together we discuss which lab tests we need to find the cause. Once I have your lab results, I create a custom treatment plan addressing the root cause of your fatigue.

A common cause of fatigue that often goes unrecognized is adrenal dysfunction. The adrenal glands sit on the top of the kidneys and secrete stress hormones. Chronic stress (physical, mental, or emotional) can at first cause increased secretion of these hormones but over time, hormone production can be very low.

The result is that you feel tired every day. Other symptoms include feeling tired even after a good night’s sleep and taking longer to recover from illnesses like colds and flus. The good news is that adrenal dysfunction is treatable and reversible.
