Yes, please bring her back with more information. Many years ago a reflexologist told me my adrenal glands were depleted (my father had passed away - my world was shattered). I went to a doctor for my low blood pressure and asked for a test for my adrenals - he ignored me. He and his nurse tried me like a hypochondriac and blew me off. I took care of my mom (she had dementia) for nine years - lots of emotions, no family support - emotional or financial. I went to a Iridologist a few months ago and surprise - my adrenals are either still depleted or depleted again after taking care of my mom. She suggested an herb supplement but it makes me sleepy. I tried another one but my throat hurt so much I stopped taking it. I looked up foods for adrenal and am slowly changing my diet. Yes Sophia, I eat a lot of celery now - thanks to you!!! Will also try to the dead sea salt bath and electrolytes. Looking forward to more information on adrenal. Thanks again!!
Donna - just read this comment and wanted to make sure you had seen the new video I've just published on Adrenal Fatigue - you'll find it really interesting.
Oh my goodness I have been researching food and nutrition for four or five years now. I have probably watched thousands of RUclips videos and I don't know how many food related documentaries. I am plant-based and try to get all my nutrition in. I am very healthy I'm 52 no health issues. However I am routinely feeling run down, tired, anxious stressed out especially if I don't get my workout s in.. and sometimes I'm so tired during my workouts I don't feel like they're as effective as they could be. I've gotten to where I don't sleep welland unfortunately I'm a person who needs 8 hours sleep to function properly. I knew that I was missing something I just couldn't figure out what it was. And honestly with having to work, workout, food prep and keep up the house it's really hard to find the time to research properly. Listening to this video a light bulb just went on.. this is exactly what I needed to know and I have no doubt that this is the majority of my issues. Now I at least know where to start in healing Thank you for another wonderful video☀️🌻🧡🌈🌺

Hi I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I was diagnosed exactly 3 years ago with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, vitamin B12 definitely and rheumatoid arthritis and my health has significantly depleted since then to the point that I’m nearly on my knees with exhaustion, plus I’m going through the menopause. I have learnt more from you both in the last 20 so minutes than I have with 3 years with my doctor. I fit every symptom you have described and cannot believe I now have an answer to what is wrong with me and therefore cannot thank you enough. I just wish I lived in the USA to be able to attend a one to one consultation, but I live in Northern Ireland where we have little or no alternative health therapies, and are about 10 years behind the rest of the world in that regard. I shall be ordering a lot of the supplements you have mentioned and again thank you, thank you, thank you 💕 xx
Karen - I am SO SO happy that you found this video. I know that these tips are going to help you a lot. Let's get you feeling "yourself" again. You deserve to feel that way:-)
Sorry to add another comment but you are so right about post-partum 'depression'. The midwife came to do my 'test' for this and found me borderline stating 'I'm not really surprised with you'. My baby was sleeping only 8 hours out of 24, needed a lot of attention when awake and at the time my thyroid disfunction was not diagnosed. But I was considered borderline for depression. 8 months later my thyroid problems were diagnosed (apparently I was off the scale it was so bad) and 3 years later my son was diagnosed with autism. All of this is ascribed to your mental state! My lovely son is now 20 years old but my health problems persist as do all the difficulties with maintaining a life, career etc that come with them. Good luck everyone and thank you for this video.
This was a terrific video. Please interview Dr. West again about adrenal fatigue. I was diagnosed with AF and hormonal imbalance and would like to know more about dietary helps, supplements, lifestyle changes, etc. to help overcome this problem. Thanks so much!
Start RAW VEGAN diet ... or google dr Grundy ..... the plant paradox diet ... or buy ..a juicer ... and juice cucumber ... celery ? Apple .. ginger and lemon ., and beets ..every morning .. x2 a day ... no fruit juicing to much sugar ... OR google KETO diet ..
Please have the Doctor back again and discuss Estrogen Dominance with Adrenal Fatigue. ( I have had hormone testing & for Adrenal Fatigue ) And how do you know which hormone to supplement with when both your Estrogen and Progesterone are extremely low but your Estrogen is Dominant. I have been to several doctors and a clinic that specializes in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement and I'm currently on a Troche of Estrogen and DHEA. I still feel like road kill. I keep searching for a conversation about much bigger, heavy, swollen breasts (no pain or tenderness) but I think I must be the only woman out here in menopausal land suffering with this. I know my breasts have changed due to menopause but I have had no luck in researching what I can do to get them to return to normal. Thank you
It is so excellently put in this video that stress is as much an OUTCOME of adrenal fatigue/exhaustion as a cause, which then puts us on a downward spiral. It is frustrating for those of us with adrenal exhaustion when those with no understanding of it tell us off for reaching for coffee etc to get us through the day. I did the 24-hour saliva test which showed me at almost zero levels of DHEA and cortisol yet my doctor told me these results are not accepted and insisted on the short synacthen test at the hospital (UK) which was 'inconclusive' so I've been told I have CFS; the adrenal element has been ignored. Sadly I have a non-functioning thyroid and with no adrenal function to speak of, thyroid treatments do not work terribly well. It's very very frustrating.
I would love to go to a functional or integrative doctor but I can't find any that take insurance & the cost seems so prohibitive. I DO wish they would be covered as I much prefer them to a normal MD.
Very interesting topic and relatable in my current life...a lot of aha moments with several things discussed here. Looking forward to more discussion about this often mysterious topic. Thank you both! 🙏
No amount of genetic testing, hormone replacement or overpriced doctor visits or supplements will heal adrenal depletion until we change the diet and lifestyle habits that cause it
Sometimes that easier said than done. Adrenal fatigue can’t be done by eating different, I’ve done that and it didn’t matter, as long as you’re stressed out, that fatigue and weight will hang on, even when you’re eating right.
Thank you for this video. I think this is what I am experiencing and I would definitely love more videos with this doctor and to hear more helpful tips. Much appreciated!
I wish Dr. West was in my area. So many doctors will just treat symptoms and they wait until you get out of range to admit you have an issue.

Wow! This has been SO potentially life- changing... I hope I can afford to see a specialist as amazing as this gal! Thanks, Sophie. 🍃🌿🦋🦋
This video is by far in my opinion the most comprehensive. Easy to understand, and thorough! Thank you both!
Thanks so much - she is really great at explaining.
ya because of the DR. no whoohoo woo

Me too, and I do feel the same way!
such good information!! It's distracting how she doesn't look at you OR the camera while she's talking. But still worth watching! Thank you Sophie!
You know, Dr. West is not trained to speak in front of a camera. I am! So give her some slack!!!
She doesn't even make eye contact with Sophie. That is a little strange, and distracting.
Very interesting topic and relatable in my current life...a lot of aha moments with several things discussed here. Looking forward to more discussion about this often mysterious topic. Thank you both! 🙏
you are so welcome. Glad you found the video. And make sure you subscribe as so much more info coming along the same lines!
Thanks you so much for this informational video. Please do more of these with the doctor ❤️

I agree. I always start with diet - ALWAYS, and then stress management.
Sometimes that easier said than done. Adrenal fatigue can’t be done by eating different, I’ve done that and it didn’t matter, as long as you’re stressed out, that fatigue and weight will hang on, even when you’re eating right.
@@gaylakenney5939 For sure, gotta address the underlying stress and sleep too!
Thank you for this video. I think this is what I am experiencing and I would definitely love more videos with this doctor and to hear more helpful tips. Much appreciated!
