Re: fatigue

We are talking about so-called "adrenal fatigue" (a fake disease), not adrenal insufficiency (a medically proven real disease). Adrenal insufficiency (Addisons) is not determined by a saliva test, but by blood tests and you would be put on corticosteroids by your MD.

Alternative practitioners, like Naturopaths, claim saliva test prove so-called "adrenal fatigue", but almost everyone in the AF support section who did saliva tests all report that in some part of the day their cortisol level was HIGHER than normal.

What were your saliva test readings? And where can I read in the medical literature about "phase 3" burnout? I'm unfamiliar with it.

Obviously if you have a hormone imbalance and a practitioner gave you hormone replacements, why wouldn't you start feeling better? But if you don't find out what the root cause of your hormone imbalance is, then you're just being bandaided with hormone replacements.

Btw, how many calories do you average per day? Everything you say points to what everyone else in the AF support section is suffering from; starvation. Tweet
