To be able to tell from home:

Liver Problem - pain under right lower rib cage, yellowing of skin or eyes, discomfort between shoulder blades or in right shoulder

Adrenal - dark rings around eyes, dizziness standing up, eye pupils dilate slow, discomfort in left knee or in low back



From a doctor, a blood test can check for elevated liver enzymes indicating liver problem. I forgot offhand what blood tests indicate adrenal specific problems.

If there is stress on your adrenals, your liver becomes congested and vice versa....if your liver is congested that creates stress in the body depleting the adrenals....but if you focus too much on liver detox, you'll stress the adrenals further...so support both liver detoxification and the adrenals. Slowly and gently is key.

A simple way to test yourself at home for adrenal fatigue

Equipment required: chair, small flashlight, mirror, a watch (with a second hand), and a dark room.

In a darkened room, sit in a chair in front of a mirror. Holding the flashlight at the side of your head, shine it across one eye (not into the eye). Watch what happens in the mirror.

You should see your pupil contract immediately after the light hits the eye. The pupil will normally stay contracted, but if you have adrenal fatigue, the pupil won't be able to hold its contraction and will dilate. This dilation will take place within 2 minutes and last for about 30-45 seconds before it contracts again. Time how long the dilation lasts and record it along with the date. Retest monthly as it serves as an indicator of recovery.
