Adrenal Fatigue Recovery
Joel Hensley, Burlington KY /Cincinnati OH. Clinical Nutrition/Health Coach/ Fitness Coach is a client guest with a personal story of adrenal fatigue and more natural recovery based on, as we heartily and repeatedly recommend, informed biomedical testing. With testing, he discovered the reality of what he felt somatically and sought to correct his unexplained chronic fatigue, lethargy, and confusion.
Adrenal Fatigue, Adrenal Exhaustion, Chronic Fatigue Are Treatable
Noteworthy is his consequential use of the Qualia supplement from Neurohacker. Joel ran an adrenal hormone panel [see the second page here for hormone testing video explanations] to discover confirmation of his suspicion of adrenal exhaustion.

His presentation: foggy mind, no concentration, drive or mental stamina. His treatment with a variety of supplements helped him deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder, mild depression, anxiety, and anger. He felt better, but still had no edge, so he went deeper in his search for improved recovery strategies.

His adrenal fatigue search and journey, with links to his process below, led him to the Qualia supplement protocol.

Ed Note: I started posting about adrenal fatigue issues at CorePsych more than 10 years ago, and in that span of time witnessed an evolution in thinking, medical recognition, and treatment options. Why consider adrenal fatigue? Simple: treatment failure occurs if the underlying cause is not first identified, then measured, then treated appropriately. Cortisol imbalances in the adrenal don't respond effectively to neurotransmitter manipulation with psychiatric medications.

Stimulant medications frequently cover underlying medical issues such as adrenal fatigue.  See this video playlist on ADHD and symptoms of ineffective stimulants through watching for the PM Drop: http://corepsych.com/drop.
