I don’t know if adrenal fatigue is real or not, but I know chronic stress for a long period of time can ruin a person for life. I’ve seen it happen. The person operated on adrenaline for so long, that once the stress was taken away or reduced, the body can’t function without it. Now the person can barely handle any stress at all and if they do one thing a day, they are exhausted. So something is going on. Call it burnout if you want. It’s something to do with the stress hormones because the person was high achieving on those stress hormones for a long time. Now it’s like the body has trouble producing the energy it needs to do basic things in life. And the big stressor ended years ago. As far as I understand, this is what is referred to as adrenal fatigue. So if that condition isn’t real, then tell me, what is this condition and how how do you fix it?
You're talking about meeeeeeeee!!! 🫶 I work for 8 hours, and lay in bed for 13. I use to eat stress, and now I can barely think of anything stressful, before my heartrate increases. Something has gone haywire.
Yes, this happened to me. I now wonder if I am level 1 autistic and had what they term Autistic Burnout. It has been years and I am still working on it. I did find out I have multiple nutritional deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity though. It could be there's a level of mental and physical stress your body is able to take before your brain and body nopes out. That's my take anyway.
this is why you should never consume caffeine
The symptoms are real obviously. Whether it has anything to do with the adrenal glands is unclear.
However, I did cure something very much like it by going whole food plant based. I do recommend that approach to anybody suffering from health issues. Let the body heal itself!

As a person who was diagnosed with Addison's disease, thank you for this video! I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome until I ended up in the intensive care unit with profound electrolyte derangement and acute adrenal crisis. Claims of adrenal fatigue cause confusion, prompt unnecessary and potentially harmful "treatments," and prevent people from finding out the actual cause of their symptoms. Additionally, because of the way the term "adrenal fatigue" is thrown around, people take the very real disease of adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), which is life-threatening without proper treatment, less seriously.
I hear you. My daughter is the same - although for different reasons. She's missing half of her pituitary gland and can produce no growth hormone, thyroid hormones or cortisol of her own.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've wanted to bonk people over the head with my handbag, who think their exhaustion is the same as her crashing ...ugh.
The symptoms are not remotely similar.
The worst thing is that corticosteriod treatment, e.g., with hydrocortisone, can lead to permanent atrophy of the adrenal glands. Those patients then need to take the hormones for life.
I love this channel!
The scammers are PISSED how dare you call their scam a scam. ahah
Would you be able to do a video on Addisons and possible ways to treat it please?
Thank you so much for sharing
Wild stuff, love this!
a term coined by chiropractor who sold supplements ... geez
Dr Eric berg is an example of a chiropractor that does the same 😂
Tired of all these chiropractors on youtube calling themselves doctors and offering treatments for all kinds of maladies
@@mareezy Yep, nothing like seeing millions flock to talks on lipidology, cardiology, and oncology from a chiropractor deep into a sketchy religion. What could possibly go wrong?
This was news to us also!
@@ReflectedMiles exactly!
Any research on Seitan? Is it healthy to eat? I'm looking for high protein plant based foods for body building.
I would like to know if you have seen anything about fish oil containing a better type of omega fatty acid than flax seeds. Dr. Nicole LePera says in her book that they are different and the omegas from fish act differently on the nervous system, in a way that is beneficial to the people who suffer from high levels of psychological stress.
I am always tired,is it bc I am asthmatic.I am on medication that causes fatigue.
I suggest Breath by James Nestor and dive into nasal breathing. Or look for his interviews on yt. Then there are several yt sites with buteko breathing. Some are better than others. Nasal breathing and humming ups nitric oxide and energy. I cured chronic bronchitis with this.
I had really bad asthma as a kid until my mom was recommended a acupuncturist by a Chinese friend and what do you know it pretty much cured me...just putting that out there for ya. Also make sure you're not around mold, and ditching dairy would probably help
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity? Better Call Saul. 😁
I have it and it's a real condition. People don't understand this. He also sounds harsh, it's very difficult to heal my body, I have been trying for decades. He lacks insight and compassion. Easy to talk if you are healthy and have plenty money.
@@Merializerokay chuck
@@bellenesatan You know nothing, Jon Snow.
@@bellenesatan You don't know how wrong most studies were done. I do, because I actually checked how they did them. Most people only read the result.
@@bellenesatan Did you and this Doc check how studies were done? No. I did. Not done right.
Supplements should be more regulated. What is on the label should be in the bottle without heavy metals etc! 😢
THANK YOU!!! PLZ do one on those fake colon cleanses and mucoid plaques that is all over the internet. My poor hubby bought a parasite cleanse 😅😢😢😢😢😢😢
Long term stress and depression is the main cause of cortisol hormone... or you caj say over all health..me too suffering from lots of trauma including financially emotionally family career health ..dont know what will happen..but keep struggling myself
Sorry you’re struggling so much. I hope things get better soon.
From a nutritional stand point there is such a thing as adrenal fatigue caused by stress and lack of proper nutrition and it can be helped with nutritional improvement, lifestyle stress management and supplements but not using hormones. I agree with this video there and do not recommend taking hormones unless absolutely necessary and with a doctor but i do believe your adrenal glands can experience imbalance and benefit from nutrition and mental health support.
Avoid getting it , never overstuff yourself, no no be pushy with it , if it's to late , stop ! try a vegetarian diet & exercise 💝🚴♀️
So many people who want solutions to their conditions who are led astray by false diagnoses.
But don’t forget there was a time when chronic fatigue syndrome was said to be a made up, nonexistent condition.
But that was denying the problem. Dr. Greger is denying the EXPLANATION. He's not saying people are fine.
I am out of energy when i didnt sleep enough like today meh
same, i always feel short on sleep... i need at least 10 hours. it sucks!
That really didn't seem like a particularly rigorous analysis
Rigorous compared to what? More than 46 studies are needed or more labs need to verify corrupted ingredients (a major problem in the supplements industry generally)?
@@ReflectedMiles I'm not saying it wasn't rigorous about the supplements I'm saying that it wasn't rigorous about the analysis of the illness
@@factitiously There is no such illness-the chiropractor who made it up to go with the supplements he was selling was just borrowing a collection of symptoms associated with other, actual conditions and assigning them that name-and anyone suffering from those symptoms needs to be authentically evaluated instead. There’s no way to cover all of the possibilities in-depth in a reasonable-length YT video, but it was important to say what isn’t true but, due to false labeling of some steroidal medications as “natural,” etc., can reasonably make someone believe is real and that they are getting real treatment. A little over a century ago, people were being treated for hysteria, too, and many other falsely diagnosed conditions that didn’t exist. Lots of “snake oil“ concoctions were sold, but that also meant that those struggling were not getting to the bottom of what was actually wrong, which is sad.
@@ReflectedMiles You basically just repeated everything he said in the video. My point is that this was not a rigorous analysis of adrenal fatigue. I'm a journalist and I have written about this topic in the past. There are dozens more research papers that he could have pulled in to really flesh out this topic and be far more rigorous. It was super basic.
@@factitiously Dozens more published, peer-reviewed papers on “adrenal fatigue” in reputable journals? Are there a similar number on hysteria, or maybe bicycle face? The video is about a non-existent disease, so addressing the relationships between the underlying symptoms and the range of possible actual conditions could be very long and complex, and even then would probably be less than rigorous since he isn’t a specialist in those fields. The similar, other comments under this video seem to be inadvertently announcing who got suckered into the false diagnosis and don’t want to have that part of their health schema overturned. Perhaps you did the same in writing about it?
Another clickbait title
Better call Saul
This one falls short
Compared to? In other words, you got sucked into one of the zillions of alt scams out there? Probably most of us have at one point or another.
Hard boiled eggs and sugar water gets rid of it totally.
Sorry Doc , as an Aircraft Engineer i do not agree on the standpoint that Oversensitivity for Radiation does not exist. Some kinds of radiation from trunking systems do affect health in a great way . And i was a victim of it because i work in a high density radioactive environment . For mobile phones the chances are lower ..but they are there . But testing it in a lab on 2000 individuals would not let it be detected … great for the mobile phone industry …. but not for humans. So please can you leave that last part out please . Y will hurt a lot of oversensitive individuals ….and you are quite wrong to do so.
You are diagnosed with A F😂
As opposed to being diagnosed as being twelve?
@@dianeladico1769 being 12 is ingenious and some people are eternally 10 although physically 30,40,50, whatever+- ready to fight. Laughter is healthy ☮️
@@aumnamashivaya4 Absolutely. Because feeling miserable and being diagnosed with a fictitious condition causing the real disease to be untreated is freaking hysterical.
@@dianeladico1769 welcome to the real world.... Unfortunately you have to help many doctors discover their own brain and that's if they are normal enough to not be brainwashed or have any ulterior agenda or God knows what 😱🤷
You didn't mention ways to treat it. Just that the current methods and understanding of the condition is wrong, harmful and filled with snake oil salesmen. I'd hope a more accurate title for these types of videos "What is Adrenal Fatigue? Mistaken condition filled with lies and charlatans?" something like that, then the next video would be about finding ways to treat it with whatever methods you have found to be clinically working.
How do you treat something that does not exist?
I.e. There may be various reasons for the overall symptoms attributed to "Adrenaline Fatigue".
😂😂😂
@@mariotonchev1310 as he mentioned in the video "the symptoms are very real" thus an overall exploring of these factors might lead to something that can at the very least alleviate the symptoms of exhaustion without chemically induced euphoria and osteoporosis. As this is a nutrition channel based on clinical analysis of studies he might have something he finds. Regardless I find the "how to treat it" part to be misleading.
It specifically says it may not be an actual condition, and while the symptoms are real, they may be caused by something else.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 exactly, by what? And what could one do to alleviate the symptoms. Nutrition? Well what foods specifically might work? What to avoid, Even in plant foods.
Outlaw naturopathic medicine.
Videos title: Adrenal Fatigue: What It Is and How to Treat It. Content: No mention of how to actually treat it, just attacks opportunists. Impact: ZERO.
Well, hey, he mentioned that corticosteroids help.
As it's not currently an accepted medical diagnosis, the cure would be to diagnose the condition properly and treat the real cause of symptoms. It was unspoken and possibly too subtle.
@@weirdunclebob So as someone who had to deal with this let me tell you how that process did not work. I went to 3-4 doctors who all misdiagnosed what was going on, all specialists or ER doctors. I had to go to the ER the first time because I started passing out for no reason and my condition became life threatening. Not one doctor could tell me what was going on. The cardiology told me my heart was normal and looked great. My ER doctor had no idea what happened to me and told me I must have suffered a heart attack at 26 (hence the visit to the cardiologist). My GP had no idea and admitted as much because I did not present with zero cortisol function. There needs to be a diagnosis for this condition and a protocol. It was not too subtle, it was a non-answer just like I got when this hit me like a brick wall. The current process says you are either Addisonian or not when clearly there is a middle ground, otherwise, I would be dead now because I do not take any hormones. Not having a diagnosis does not mean the condition does not exist!
@@Qstandsforred 🤣
The whole "not surprised they are saying that because they sell suplements" works just as well against Nutrition facts who sell books to remedy issues they identify.
Surely you care less about faith in stories than this and more just about claims of science being done?
All proceeds from his books are donated to charity.
That statement was followed by citing a study showing the supplements contain undeclared steroids which will relieve the symptoms, effectively masking the 'effect' of the supplements. Meanwhile, every statement of fact in his books is supported by at least one, often many, peer-reviewed study/studies that support the claim.
There's a profound difference.
Thanks for posting today's "False equivalence trying to discredit Dr. Greger." It happens every video and always fails, but it's good to get it over with early.
No amount of illegal steroids will give you the ability to read. The proceeds of his book go to charity. And his claims are all substantiated by scientific evidence. 😂
@@tamcon72 no not at all you, clearly didn't read my comment at all. Dr Greger takes $200,000 a year from nutrition facts which means he profits from his claims in his books if people buy them
