Wow it’s so great that she does a full hormone check on her patients. My Dr refused to test any of my hormones, so I found a different Dr. if your Dr wants to wait and treat you when you are sick instead of preventing the illness, it’s time to move on
This is the most awsome discussion i have seen, during my research after damaging my planter arches, which has led to the adrenal glands and hormone levels. For the first time i feel i am on the right track. I started trail running about 3 yrs ago, it is my stress relief, my meditation and my sacrifice. Lately i have begun to understand that every run is a gift and may be my last, but after watching yr video i am blown away. I can entertain the possibility that i may run to a ripe old age.
I enjoyed every second of this video Mike, thanks so much for bringing someone (let alone a doctor and woman) Who has gone through this. I cosigned her every word! I am currently going through the same although I haven't broken my legs, I believe my body was about 2 miles from some type of injury before my adrenals blew. A bit of background... I've naturally lost over 200 pounds in about a year or so. Mostly through changing my diet from eating complete junk to eating a clean diet for my metabolic body type. Now, A year after losing the weight I just had my first son five months ago (by c-section, which you can imagine this was also a beautiful little stress on the adrenals) then to top it off I'm now on birth control for the first time in my life which has my hormones beyond out of whack. I never imagined there could be a condition like this until experiencing this all first hand. Trying to explain this to others around me sadly seems to make no sense. Until doing this research I honestly didn't know what the adrenals even did so I guess you honestly have to go through it yourself to know that yes indeed "It is a thing!" and as humans we really need to honor the "Rest"... as if that will ever happen. I have stopped training completely for the moment being that I'm scared to cause any more damage, I'm working on getting more sleep whenever I can and aromatherapy along with meditation/yoga. I can't lie, I miss the gym like crazy but I'm determined to heal my body before continuing any weight-loss efforts so on so forth. Thanks again. You have a lifetime fan ❤ -Summer
O cam totally relate I was doing to much weight excersice, on top of a stressfull job (psycholigist, I thought a lot of excersice is good) + I was cointing calories (adds stress), people were dying and then I changed to another bc pill. 2 months later completely burned out (it is finally recognised by the WHO but will not call it an adrenal thing, which is kinda true cause its ur brain out of balance not being proper to give signals to ur adrenals). Im taking my rest now and a little walking is alla I do.
Really appreciate all you do Mike - love the diversity you bring...I love listening to the pod cast at the gym...much better than the bad pop music blasting through the speakers
Thanks, Zoe Sherrin! Great point, it's better to learn as you move. Seems to stick more and you can garner different ideas while exercising. Thanks for tuning in, Mike
Zoe Sherrin good point....the pop music is very annoying at my gym...lol I just drown it out with super heavy weights ...the pain causes me to lose my hearing ;-)
It has always struck me as strange that the way to becoming a medical practitioner involves living a lifestyle that is bad for one's health and doing all manner of things that one should be learning how to teach other people not to do.
Arletta Sloan hopefully when we know better we do better....Dr’s are only human’s who have read and learnt a lot about certain things. They still have to learn normal life lessons like everyone else.
Neena Me It's not an individual choice to be stressed while in medical school, it's the irrational demands put on the students which even lead some to suicide, something "hush hush" that I only learned about not long ago.
Great info. Wish people can talk more about how it affects the physical body. Like great a whole different body shape. I have experienced my legs getting smaller, my butt got flat flat and my belly is growing more on the sides like my body is starting to look boxish. It’s so sad really. I workout but my belly doesn’t move at all. It’s just getting bigger. Taking magnesium now to help with my sleep
and also for thyroid function? OMG...does it regulate and balance hypo and hyper? please refer me to the research if you know anyone good source. thank you for all great and amazing access to these amazing professionals.
Exercise is the best way stress out . I do more cardio than exercise,after 20 minutes cardio then I will start my weight training .... I think cafe isn’t good for stress.... but with out cafe I cannot start my workouts...
Anyone watching this in 2020: RASA ADAPTOGENIC COFFEE ALTERNATIVE contains all the adaptogens known to help regulate the HPA axis and balance the adrenals. It’s saved me! Rasa is it.
TRUTH. I discovered I had a vitamin and mineral deficiency behind my burnout. Coupled with negative mindset and forcing myself to face stressful situation that I did not have to.
2 thumbs up from this couch potato! :-) But kidding aside, that's the golden rule of everything, take the middle way, and fit it to our exact situation (gender/age/time/health condition/body types) in life. Just remember, the first Marathon runner, Pheidippides, died from exhaustion, and that he had a job to do, not to exercise to lose weight. And how many joggers died from heart failure each year? Adrenal fatigue is just a fancy name for stressing our body too much. It's a violence done to our beautiful, evolving stream of consciousness. Thanks for posting, couldn't agree more.
Dr Kinnon, are you opposed to bodybuilding types of training, like 4 sets of 8-12 reps? Is it ok to do? Or do you have to stick to powerlifting reps? For adrenal fatigue.
Very interesting! I'm burned out for years but doctors don't find anything in blood-tests. Are urine or saliva tests more reliable for cortisol,.... ? thx.
Kristof Lemmens Hi. You might be having a reaction to the food preservatives that are in most foods. You might want to try going into an organic clean food for a while to detox and see what happens. That was my first experience where I was reacting to sulphurs in the food and felt always exhausted all of the time with very few windows where I could function.
Try a water fast for a few days. Also, your stomach acid levels might be low. Try drinking apple cider vinegar before meals to aid digestion. Digestion takes a lot of energy.
I went for a walk last night at 10pm, and today at 8:50am (I didn't sleep all night DUE TO NOISY NEIGHBORS FOR A YEAR). I hadnt exercised in the day in 10yrs. I had to do this because I recently got sleep apnea, I need to lose weight. PLEASE HELP ME HEAL SLEEP APNEA WHILE HAVING ADRENAL FATIGUE.
Doctors that don’t believe in adrenal fatigue haven’t been through it that’s the only reason they don’t believe! It can be absolutely horrible! It can be a lot more then just being tired! Dizzy, pains that don’t exist, your bathroom schedule, digestion can be too stressful if you truly hit bottom with adrenal fatigue, workouts won’t exist it’s horrible
Yes, more information about nutrition would be of interest. What is a good "healthy" breakfast post workout? She didn't specify. I assume it's not cereal as you both made light of this in the video.
Jorge Posada I can say that for me I ended up with a brain tumor after a lifestyle of vegetarianism from about 15yrs to 21yrs. I was told by a very old Dr at the time to change my diet and eat more red meat and especially liver....that was forty years ago!! Now eating a Keto lifestyle I have never felt healthier.
Jorge Posada definitely... vegans have to eat so many varied amounts of different ‘foods’ that they are at risk for toxins and bacteria and chemical affected plants...not to mention nutrient deficiencies like B12 and bioavailability of nutrients is far lower in plants than meat.
Broke her legs? She just realized that one day? Does the ND indicate naturopathic doctor? If so, why talk to an ND instead of an exercise physiologist etc?
Wish I knew this 3 years ago, lost my job and girlfriend to an extreme amount of stress and extreme trainingregiment, combine that with a rational mind and its a recipe for a major crash!
your videos are usually very informative however this doctor is not a good speaker and communicator she did not add anything to things that we already knew about adrenal fatigue she never mentioned what if she takes or go down the list of to Do's for adrenal fatigue not a good video
@frostek Its not in the medical books or taught in any University med school THAT is why no clinician or even Endocrinologist "believes" it's existance....but ask a Naturopath or any other alternative medical clinician...THEY know. However, Adrenal fatigue, insufficieny, exhaustion, burn out is very real, and can be lethal.
Don't really like how they put down cardio in this - any weightlifting program should be supplemented with at least SOME cardio, or would be better off with it at least. Such a binary view of good VS bad when the truth is so much more nuanced.
It really depends on the person. Not everyone absolutely needs cardio. If you are pretty skinny, it’s in your best interest to focus on building muscle only.
@@selenearteaga6865 If you are solely focused on aesthetics, then yes you are right. Health wise, however, being skinny does not mean a healthy cardiovascular system. Cardio strengthens the heart and lungs in ways that weightlifting simply can't, and helps with circulation. Cardio could be fast walking if running is too taxing for a certain person. Ultimately you don't NEED cardio to be in decent shape, but you will definitely be in worse shape/health if you don't than if you do the right kind and amount for your body. Anybody without a debilitating illness/condition can at the very least do fast walking.
Too much cardio is what killed me. I have had to go to no cardio. Only walking. Exercise is a stress on the body. A body with adrenal insufficiency is already overly stressed. Cardio and adrenal insufficiency does more damage to the body. I gained weight when I was pushing my body so hard. Once I stopped my body showed progress. It was crazy.
It is really funny women afraid of weightlifting. Even a man cannot make that big mass of muscles without supplements. How it comes to that point of fear? and Why?
Wth she sounds like she’s 12 - the constant um and her way of speaking. This was not very helpful in any case- the content and the way the info was presented. Far better info out there on this topic.

Glad to hear this! I always worried that I HAD to quit training, when I just need to help my body recover, rest longer, etc.
Really appreciate all you do Mike - love the diversity you bring...I love listening to the pod cast at the gym...much better than the bad pop music blasting through the speakers

You must lower cortisol
We can't lose weight with high cortisol
Great interview!
Wow!!
She sounds like the doctor I need.
and also for thyroid function? OMG...does it regulate and balance hypo and hyper?
please refer me to the research if you know anyone good source.
thank you for all great and amazing access to these amazing professionals.
This lady doctor is one cool cucumber. She is showing us what correct weight training can do for your nervous system.
Thanks, john novick!
I like to cucumber analogy.
Cheers,
Mike
Why 🥒 ??
@@janjamesramos247 google the phrase
Mike, thanks for having these interviews
Great info...what are the herbs she took...I am 54 and battling with insomnia due to A.F.
Holy basil..there's a supplement from garden of nature for AF that I take
Ashwagandha helped me more than holy basil
Always appreciate your videos and their content, Mike. Thank you
Hi loved the video was very helpful and informative. With me I've noticed loss of muscle mass.... What can I do to get that back.. Thank you..

Thanks so much, Paul!
I'm honored that you found it helpful.
Have a super-duper episode coming to you next week!
Mike
You videos are so great and informative. Thank you so much for that. :)
Thanks so much, Ana Luisa!
Glad you find things helpful and ppreciate your kind words.

Adrenal insufficiency is helped with high dose Vitamin C, and B’s and multi vitamins, good balanced diet, water, and aminos, just to name a few.

Cant believe ive just only found this AAA content everybody like an get this information out there!
Please be so kind and let us know what were the supplements that she recommended , some I heard of but....Thanks. Excellent interview
Thanks again Mike! What's the name of the herb that helps the convertion of dhea to testosterone ("colias")?
Hi there Jordan,
I believe it was Coleus forskohlii.
Give it a try,
Mike
Haven't seen any studies supporting this claim. Would you be able to provide a reference or this more from her clinical experience?
Really great video/conversion! Thank you - What is the best test to see about adrenal health?
Debbie Driver DUTCHTEST.com
Very informative! Thank-you!
Dr Kinnon, are you opposed to bodybuilding types of training, like 4 sets of 8-12 reps? Is it ok to do? Or do you have to stick to powerlifting reps? For adrenal fatigue.
Not a lot of specifics here, in spite of great attempts by the interviewer. Her experience could have been distilled to 5 minutes.
thank you for the positive insight
I’m too sick barely walking . I’ll move on to hopefully getting there
You'll be just fine Kimberly 🤗 Have faith and yeah you will get there soon 😊
Thank you so much for this!!!
Very interesting! I'm burned out for years but doctors don't find anything in blood-tests. Are urine or saliva tests more reliable for cortisol,.... ? thx.

Try a water fast for a few days. Also, your stomach acid levels might be low. Try drinking apple cider vinegar before meals to aid digestion. Digestion takes a lot of energy.
Salivary cortisol is the best
Thank you. Good guidance. 🌸
Appreciate you tuning in,
Mike
great info. thank you mike, and yeah Dr. Sara Kinnon looks beautiful.
English is not my first language, what supplement is she talking about at around 32 mins? I'm trying to hear but can't. :)
Great video
Lisa Wagner she said Turmeric😊
Wish she talk slow
I went for a walk last night at 10pm, and today at 8:50am (I didn't sleep all night DUE TO NOISY NEIGHBORS FOR A YEAR). I hadnt exercised in the day in 10yrs.
I had to do this because I recently got sleep apnea, I need to lose weight. PLEASE HELP ME HEAL SLEEP APNEA WHILE HAVING ADRENAL FATIGUE.
I've had AF for 10yrs+.
You are too tired to exercise
Don't fast and don't exercise
Just take walks
Take ashwagandha if you have high cortisol
Podcast for hypoglycemia pleaseee
Wonderful tip!
for adrenal fatigue take 500mg arginine 500mg b5 and 500mg choline everyday
Doctors that don’t believe in adrenal fatigue haven’t been through it that’s the only reason they don’t believe! It can be absolutely horrible! It can be a lot more then just being tired!

I'm ten months into my recovery from a broken femur.. 9 metal screws in my leg, now. Because I got addicted to powerlifting every day for years.
Powerlifting is just for showing off, I don't think it's necessary
Wow! Sorry that happened. Hope you feel better now
Would you say someone on a plant based Vegan diet has a higher or lower risk of developing Adrenal Fatigue?
Jorge Posada I can say that for me I ended up with a brain tumor after a lifestyle of vegetarianism from about 15yrs to 21yrs. I was told by a very old Dr at the time to change my diet and eat more red meat and especially liver....that was forty years ago!! Now eating a Keto lifestyle I have never felt healthier.

Jorge Posada Excellent question; wish somebody with authority rather than opinion had an answer
Hahaha "I realised i had two broken legs". Realised? How the hell do you break both your legs from training and not realise?
Vic Sandhu ask David Goggins
Vic Sandhu stress fractures aren’t like a clean break
What herb is she mentioning at around 27? Choleus? That is a flower. Or is she saying something else.
Thank you :)
My pleasure,
Mike
The interview was not bad, but she didn't provide much information. Just basic things any adrenal sufferer knows.
Stasha Gominak was way better :)
Low levels of progesterone is normal before periods
Broke her legs? She just realized that one day? Does the ND indicate naturopathic doctor? If so, why talk to an ND instead of an exercise physiologist etc?
what herbs?
I heard rhodeola rosea, ginseng and what are the others? English is not my first language
marijuana is good
Just curious does she speak with Canadian accent ?
Jaydon Nguyen depends...there are more than one....she does sound a bit like Samantha Bee though
She's in Vancouver
Wish I knew this 3 years ago, lost my job and girlfriend to an extreme amount of stress and extreme trainingregiment, combine that with a rational mind and its a recipe for a major crash!
You worked out too much or??
@@nolimitinvestments298 Sam e I worked out too much too and crashed
Same I crashed too due to too much excersice.ntoo bad she left u. Guess she's not the one. A person who loves u will stay in sickness and health
"I exercised too much and found out I broke my legs." Uh, what?
thank god shes not a centipede
I think she should have said stress fracture.
thought the same thing, immediately went to the comments to see if anyone else thought that... lol
Ride a bicycle.
Garzascreek I think it sounds better though. Like when you say you broke your back when you had a hairline vertebra fracture.
4 minutes in... does she know she's vaccine injured?
your videos are usually very informative however this doctor is not a good speaker and communicator she did not add anything to things that we already knew about adrenal fatigue she never mentioned what if she takes or go down the list of to Do's for adrenal fatigue not a good video
why am i 19 with adrenal gland fatigue!!!!!!!
