Hi Janelle, I've been looking for Phosphatidylserine supplement but they all seem to be either to low a dose or soy based. Are you able to recommend a brand?
Great video, nice and clear and not too long. I have found taking vit b1 at 400mg in the morning with magnesium certainly helped with alieviating energy dips mid afternoon. You just have to find what works for you😁
This is the best video I have come across! Straight to the point (no stress). and very informative on what Vitamins to take. I'm won over and have signed up.
@Umer Malik did you suffer from adrenal fatigue? I am deficient in pregnelonone and my doctor did not prescribe anything... do you have a medical following to see if you don't have an impact on your hormones? thank you
Thanks for the video:) I've heard that adrenal cortex (from the pig or cow) can exhaust adrenals completely and make things worse. I'd be interested on your thoughts on this??
Hello Doc.! I suffer from high anxiety (Cortisol) just around & before waking up in the early mornings - any suggestion? Thanks for all the informational videos and your service to humankind.
Check out my video called "waking up anxious". Hope it helps. If you want a more comprehensive approach (diet, intolerances, gut health and nutritional deficiencies) to resolving anxiety check out my online course www.drjanellesinclair.com/ecourse
Thanks for that very enlightening clip, Dr Janelle. A lot of us dread the monthly mood issues! I hope this will help many women (and all those around them! ;-) )
That's bcos of moon cycle of 28.3 days notice your mood on full moon n new moon periods. Go for a low diet in two days around full and new Moon. You will feel better
how do I know if I have adrenal fatigue? other than the clinical symptoms. is it possible to get it diagnosed via blood test or any other certain method.
Hi I herb has sunflower Phosphatidylserine I take it everyday. I am a health coach and I like this video as it's exactly the same answer I would give to someone and I do. Just some information
What are your thoughts on taking several of these to help with chronic lack of sleep. Recent bloods showed low DHEAs and lower cortisol. I have been experiencing some kidney pain (thinking this is my adrenals screaming at me as well). Previous bloods had me with higher cortisol, I am thinking I may be actually in an adrenal crash phase. I have not slept good for several years despite diligently working towards that goal with every bio hack and supplement I can find info on. Considering the following to help get my adrenals sorted out (all from your above recommendations and my ongoing use of Thorne for supplements): Stress B complex Adrenal Cortex Viamin C with flavonoids I generally only like to add or subtract on thing from my supplements list at a time to allow me to really data log any changes, but I am frazzled. I need to SLEEP!

I am using licorice powder for balancing adrenal function along with MSM for detox for chronic candida overgrowth problem that I had for 10 yrs or so. One of doctors in videos mentioned that adrenal gland has to be fixed with liver and lymph for fighting against it. Would you recommend that to a patient. I have oral thrush, digestive,memory, concentration, anxiety, depression issue for many years.
Hi Janelle, how safe is it to take adrenal supplements such as cortex and phostadytlserine daily? For some reason when I take PS it makes me energetic which is good, but also a bit "shaky irritable". On the other hand cortex, helps, but makes me really sleepy, so I actually take that to help me sleep and not during day. It is a bit strange, so wondering if there are any potential pitfalls of taking these two supplements every day long term. Thanks.
@Dr Janelle Sinclair my blood cortisol at 8 am and 4 pm are ok, but my 24h urine cortisol is very low. Which supplements do you advise me please? all of them? What about DHEA supplements? thank you so much
Dr. Janelle I have found sun-theanine to be very effective in temporarily reducing my anxiety symptoms when they occur. Do you have any comments on this please?
Hey Jenelle, I had Cushing disease, and my adrenals were removed. I take hydrocortisone to supplement the deficiency. But I feel fatigued all the time. I have had Autoimmune hemolytic anemia that flares up, I think from stress. What natural supplements would you recommend??
I'd suggest that you look into working with a integrative medical doctor that is familiar with working with hormones. You could consider using DHEA, and adrenal glandular (with hormones removed). Ensure that you fix the anemia as you're always going to feel tired with that.
Hi Doctor, which supplements if you have high blood pressure, sugar cravings, low morning Cortisol, low-moderate noon and evening cortisol, and low-moderate night cortisol where I wake up every night around 3am? Constantly fatigued, muscle weakness, brain fog, etc. I can't do ashwaganda, holy basil, kava kava, valerian, lemon balm, St. John's wort as these supplements make me feel worse in one way or another. I would love to try licorice root in the morning but am concerned of the blood pressure effects. Thank you!
i have all these symptoms. omg this video made me cry. i cant sleep at night its so bad. and i sweat so easily. so tired. i take iv vitamin c injections a week & increased salt. ima start taking b 5 vitamin and others you recommended. :'(((
I've had hypothryodism since 1996, on thyroid medication. A complete hysterectomy in 93, was on HRT until 2018, went off and all the debilitating symptoms began, which led me to a host of doctors and specialists. Recently in past 2 weeks back on low dose HRT. I had cortisol blood test couple weeks ago, and it returned a little elevated, than a "one" night time saliva test was done and it returned 204 ug/dl, on high side, next step is a suppression test to check for Cushings Syndrome or Disease. If it's not that, wondering what supplement to take for high cortisol as I don't want to take medications if I don't have too. Thank you
Definitely check that iron and b12 levels are optimal (not just at the low normal level). Omega 3 and MSM are helpful for lowering inflammation and helping pain.
I just got my blood results back from EverlyWells Female Hormone Test. I am worried and would appreciate someone’s help or opinion! I am 24. I’ve been very tired for the past few years, and I am losing my hair. I have also been experiencing low blood pressure the past few weeks (101/50) and recently fainted due to LB. I tested positive for TPO Antibodies. Both my progesterone (2.8ml) and cortisol (0.3ml) are very low. FSH high at (10.0ml) Yet my TST (2.4ml) T3 (2.8ml) T4 (1.4ml) are in range Is this PCOS, HYPOTHYROIDISM, OR ADRENAL FATIGUE? Please someone help me!!!
@@jessie0078 I was finally diagnosed with both PCOS & Hashimotos last year. I found out that the low cortisol was caused by an underlying Candida infection which damaged my adrenals temporarily, all back in range now. I didn’t want to go the birth control pill or hormonal replacement route for either, so I decided to switch my diet after researching online from other people suffering with both. For the past seven months I’ve been following a Whole Food Plant Based diet, with only minimal amounts of meat, which include only chicken and fish. I only eat them twice a week, and cut out all dairy completely aswell as gluten and I cut out sugar and any processed foods. Ever since I did that, my TPO Antibodies have come back negative three times in a row. So I’m not sure if it was the infection I had, or my body may have been reacting to the gluten. I have been exercising more, and making sure to get plenty of sleep. I recommend you going to an endocrinologist like I did, to get a actual diagnosis. Then if you are up for experimenting before they stick you on medication, I highly recommend looking at your diet first. A lot of my problems, especially with my PCOS was caused by insulin resistance because I wasn’t eating healthy. I’ve been supplementing with selenium capsules and omega 3 for my Thyroid, and I’ve been drinking spearmint tea and taking saw palmetto capsules to lower my testosterone, my progesterone has raised ever since I changed my diet and vegan a consistent exercise regimen. I also take Ovasitol (inositol) powder, which has helped with balancing my hormones and improved my ovarian function overall. Diet is key though! Your body is reacting to something. Hope this helps. Wish you the best of luck and hope you get better!
Hello, great advice thank you ! Do you think it could be good to also take a glandular extract from the adrenal medulla ? Wouldn’t that favor a more balanced healing of the adrenals ? Because the one you recommended in this video only contains adrenal cortex extract. When I take that one I have a feeling of imbalance like it helps only the top of my adrenals and not the bottom part.... of course that is just a sensation but I find that my intuition and feelings are actually very important and have to be taken into account along more the more traditional methods of diagnosis that lab tests are. I hope you can answer ! Thank you so much !
i took a supplement with medulla in it, and the adrenaline in it amde me very shaky edgy, not nice. So I only look for cortex only adrnal glandulars now. But you can only try it and see for yourself.
Hello Doctor..I suffer from anxiety and tension when I face a problem. My body trembles, my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak...Do you recommend supplement to treat my condition..Please help my age 40 years
Please recommend dosing amount for glandulars. Capsules can vary widely in mgs, and some are cortex only, while others are complex. I realize this can depend on individual circumstance, but I would appreciate your general input. Thank you!
1-2 caps 1-3 times daily. Start on a low dose and increase over a couple of weeks. Reduce dose and/or doses later in the day if it affects your ability to go to sleep
I have been struggling with anxiety/depression for 10 years or so. I have recently tried Ashwagandha root powder and it seemed to help for the first week or so but now when I take it I notice my resting heart rate is much higher then normal and I get more dizzy spells. Only taking recommended dose on the package. Recently watched your blood sugar video and got me thinking so I took my blood sugar and after eating I have a 90mg after eating reading. Checked last night after fasting for 4-5 hours and was 80mg reading. I’m trying a magnesium/calcium/zinc mixture to try and help. Would love to see a video on l theanine as well. Nervous about trying 5-htp. Sorry for long winded comment just so many questions and not many results for me. Thank you so much for your videos!
Ashwagandha can increase thyroid function. That's good if your thyroid is underfunctioning. However hyperthyroidism (high thyroid function) can be exacerbated by ashwagandha. You may like to ask your doctor to make sure hyperthyroidism isn't contributing to your anxiety.
I found this very enlightening thank you doctor. I'm caregiver for My daughter age 45 who is schizophrenic/major depressive. She's on amisulpride and fluoxetine. Which supplements would you suggest she can safely use for Adrenal Fatigue?
I am currently also dealing with AF and have improved greatly over past two months using about 13 different supplements plus ozone therapy. My problem now is restoring atrophied muscles and getting enough sleep. Will try the supplement for sleep you suggest in the clip.
All of the adrenal products recommended should be fine alongside those medications as I haven't seen any contraindications. But the glandulars are probably the safest in my opinion.
The vagus nerve and the adrenal glands are different things, but they are both related to the fight and flight response and how your body deals with stress.
You left out WHEN to take the supplements (morning, midday, night) and before or after eating. Dosage means nothing if that dose is taken at the wrong time.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Also what are some trustworthy tests or companies to work with? I was going to do a saliva test with Genova, but they have very bad reviews. i thought to get a good assessment you need blood test with a reputable company to check adrenal levels
@@Elcherino123 the Dutch hormone test is the most accurate adrenal tests in my opinion. Saliva testing is good but the Dutch gives a lot more information.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Thanks for the response. I am in the US, so not sure if I can get the Dutch test. I am just looking for one as accurate as possible (like blood/urine) and with a trustworthy company, so I can find out why as a young man I feel I have low energy at times even though trying to live as healthy as I can.
Ashwagandha gave me super energy for few days but i think I od-ed on it bcs after few days i was experiencing heart palpitations seveeeere, parchment dry mouth and throat and insomnia. I was so upset! Bcs me and ashwagandha had such a beautiful love story until it went wrong! What about rhodiola?
@@intermilan6202 with my heart racing so fast, what do you think? 😪 Now Ive switched to Adrenal Vitality by Kal. Even that made my heart race a bit but it went down slowly after the second dose and i slept very well
Which of these supplements are the best to combine and how long?... if I have too high cortisol, insomnia, fatigue because of it? And ongoing stress for a while because of my father's diagnosis (cancer). Thank you in advance!
For cancer Auto hemotherapy(search what is autohemotherapy on youtube) -Alkaline and keto diet -drink alot vegetabes juice(broccoli , carrots , cabbage , cucumbers etc) - supplements ( high doses vit C , Magnesium Malate , Vit d3 k2 , Zinc , B1 , B12 ) eat alot potassium and alot water - 2 teaspoons of baking soda in water per day - lemons -flaxseeds or flaxseed oil -natural herbs and plants -soursop tea -deep breaths -walk everyday (do yoga)
Balancing my blood sugars and taking a selenium supplement (on a Paleo diet) healed my anxiety and my chronic insomnia. But lately I've tried ashwagandha because all the doctors recommend it. But after a week of use, it gave me anxiety so I couldn't sleep. I had to take magnesium, passion flower, potassium salts etc to calm me. I suppose I have low cortisol since I have chronic fatigue, but I still don't know. Is the cortisol low or high in adrenal fatigue?
@@WestTexasTumbleweeds Yes, I have low cortisol and ashwagandha lowers cortisol and I didn't know it. I took 1600 mg a day. It was way too much. All my anxiety and insomnia came back because of it. It messed me up. I regret so much I took it.
@@WestTexasTumbleweeds so you take 500 mg in the morning and 500 at lunch? That's 1 gram. I am thinking about trying licorice root. That raises cortisol. But honestly I am afraid to use any adaptogens because of what happened to me.
@Arrasel I think the key is to start with a low dose of whatever you’re trying and build up. My dr had me start Licorice tea however I haven’t noticed a difference with anything. Very pleasant flavor. I’ve just been scouting around RUclips for other things I can do for my adrenals. The best thing I’ve done was to go on a carnivore diet. My energy and strength has improved 80%. I’ve been on it 3 months.
Yes I am a doctor. I have a doctorate (a PhD) in biochemisty, which makes me a true doctor. No I'm not a medical doctor, but on most occasions clarify what time type of doctor I am.

Hello Dr. Sinclair what do you recommend taking for insomnia?
As discussed in this video phosphatidylserine can be helpful. Also basics like magnesium, melatonin or 5htp.
Magnesium can tank you potassium & sodium which are often already low with adrenal fatigue. Test dont guess.

@@dreamon70228 ensure you are getting enough protein in your diet to help muscle growth and sleep
All of the adrenal products recommended should be fine alongside those medications as I haven't seen any contraindications. But the glandulars are probably the safest in my opinion.
Interesting about the liquorice root
👍
is adrenal fatigue and low vagal tone the same thing?
The vagus nerve and the adrenal glands are different things, but they are both related to the fight and flight response and how your body deals with stress.
Where is your video on controlling blood sugar as mentioned?
Look up Dr Janelle blood sugar and anxiety
You left out WHEN to take the supplements (morning, midday, night) and before or after eating. Dosage means nothing if that dose is taken at the wrong time.
Potassium is good too i took 2.8 g of sr daily potassium for 3week
Thanks you doctor
Make. sure the b vitamins are not synthetic, take a good nutritinal yeast supplement, high in B vitamins
I have trouble with adrenal glandular
Great video but how do you know if have adrenal fatigue would have like that explained :)
Ok. I'll add that to the list of future videos.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Also what are some trustworthy tests or companies to work with? I was going to do a saliva test with Genova, but they have very bad reviews. i thought to get a good assessment you need blood test with a reputable company to check adrenal levels
@@Elcherino123 the Dutch hormone test is the most accurate adrenal tests in my opinion. Saliva testing is good but the Dutch gives a lot more information.
@@DrJanelleSinclair Thanks for the response. I am in the US, so not sure if I can get the Dutch test. I am just looking for one as accurate as possible (like blood/urine) and with a trustworthy company, so I can find out why as a young man I feel I have low energy at times even though trying to live as healthy as I can.
@@Elcherino123 dutchtest.com/about/ it's an American company
Can this be cured?
Make a video on niacin, vit b3..
You are brilliant
Ashwagandha gave me super energy for few days but i think I od-ed on it bcs after few days i was experiencing heart palpitations seveeeere, parchment dry mouth and throat and insomnia. I was so upset! Bcs me and ashwagandha had such a beautiful love story until it went wrong!
What about rhodiola?
@Beverley Marsh - Did Ashwagandha prevented you from sleeping?
@@intermilan6202 with my heart racing so fast, what do you think? 😪
Now Ive switched to Adrenal Vitality by Kal. Even that made my heart race a bit but it went down slowly after the second dose and i slept very well
@@OzmaOfOzz Any improvement ?
@@anissweb dude no. Ive stopped taking it.
@@OzmaOfOzz did you try rhodiola ?
Which of these supplements are the best to combine and how long?... if I have too high cortisol, insomnia, fatigue because of it? And ongoing stress for a while because of my father's diagnosis (cancer). Thank you in advance!
.
For cancer
Auto hemotherapy(search what is autohemotherapy on youtube)
-Alkaline and keto diet
-drink alot vegetabes juice(broccoli , carrots , cabbage , cucumbers etc)
- supplements ( high doses vit C , Magnesium Malate , Vit d3 k2 , Zinc , B1 , B12 ) eat alot potassium and alot water
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda in water per day
- lemons
-flaxseeds or flaxseed oil
-natural herbs and plants
-soursop tea
-deep breaths
-walk everyday (do yoga)
Pregnenolone in low doses really helped me. Amazing....as well as phosphatidylserine! Ashwaghanda helped for a while but decided to give it a break.
try fasting
@@LTPottenger fasting is horrible for the adrenals . It gives your body stress
I took b complex and it made me sleepy why?
Funny you mention that , the same exact thing happens to me to
Balancing my blood sugars and taking a selenium supplement (on a Paleo diet) healed my anxiety and my chronic insomnia.
But lately I've tried ashwagandha because all the doctors recommend it.
But after a week of use, it gave me anxiety so I couldn't sleep.
I had to take magnesium, passion flower, potassium salts etc to calm me.
I suppose I have low cortisol since I have chronic fatigue, but I still don't know.
Is the cortisol low or high in adrenal fatigue?
Ashwaganda can’t be taken after 2 pm or it can interfere with sleep. Should be taken early am and/or lunch time. Your dose could’ve been too high.
@@WestTexasTumbleweeds Yes, I have low cortisol and ashwagandha lowers cortisol and I didn't know it.
I took 1600 mg a day.
It was way too much.
All my anxiety and insomnia came back because of it.
It messed me up.
I regret so much I took it.
I have LOW cortisol and take 500mg ashwagandha in the morning and lunch time. It has been a Godsend. 1,600 mg is a lot!
@@WestTexasTumbleweeds so you take 500 mg in the morning and 500 at lunch?
That's 1 gram.
I am thinking about trying licorice root.
That raises cortisol.
But honestly I am afraid to use any adaptogens because of what happened to me.
@Arrasel I think the key is to start with a low dose of whatever you’re trying and build up. My dr had me start Licorice tea however I haven’t noticed a difference with anything. Very pleasant flavor. I’ve just been scouting around RUclips for other things I can do for my adrenals. The best thing I’ve done was to go on a carnivore diet. My energy and strength has improved 80%. I’ve been on it 3 months.
Awesome ❤
Thanks Thomas. Did you find out what you needed?
Thanks :)
My pleasure Wilson. were all of your questions answered?
What about coq10
B5 gave me neuropathy 😢
Thnk you doctor
My pleasure. Hope you found it useful.
I sleep too much
You're probably low în cortisol
Nice
Are you a MD or DO?
No as specified in most of my videos I have a PhD in biochemistry and been working in the natural medicine industry for over 15 years.
Great info but one of the supplements mentioned are from animals and I’m vegan
You don't have to take all 5 supplements. The other 4 will be helpful
darwinism at work
You had me until you included animal parts.
Hope you find something that works for you.

Adrenal Fatigue is not a real condition.
Adrenal fatigue may not be the most accurate term but adrenal dysfunction (which is the better term) definitely exists.
And who are you Mr king?
Exactly , Adrenal Insufficiency is a real condition though and is diagnosed by testing cortisol levels
Noooo youre not a dr
Yes I am a doctor. I have a doctorate (a PhD) in biochemisty, which makes me a true doctor. No I'm not a medical doctor, but on most occasions clarify what time type of doctor I am.
Go see your medical doctor then lol
Who wants to see a "Real" doctor anyways - all they do is push pills for big Pharma.
