A Naturopath gave me my life back after 25 years of Chronic fatigue. 25 years of being told I was depressed, needed to get a hobby, needed to get on with my life & stop complaining as everyone gets tired, was shown the door by my GP as I refused HRT as I knew deep down that wasn't the answer. I also tried bio identical hormones but found the costs too prohibitive and the results didn't reflect the investment. In the end a strict dietary change and a few supplements led to my energy returning in just 10 days, it felt like a miracle and 3 years on I still feel amazing and am busy making up for the 25 years of life I missed out on. I was lucky to find a amazing Naturopath locally who gave me the tools to heal myself and I only needed to see her once.

Thank you for sharing and caring. Loved your video. I've had adrenal insufficiency for over 15 months... what a journey! Was on crutches at one point. Ashgawanda helped with both thyroid and adrenals, as did Ribose re the fatigue. The latter is a pre-cursor to Adenosine Triphosphate, ATP (the energy molecule). ATP is also found in Royal Jelly... as are B vitamins. Good luck everyone... the amount of people who give up on you because you no longer have the vibrancy truly makes you realise who your true friends are... recovery can be a lonely experience although we aren't alone... thanks again.

Really powerful story, I'm going through adrenal fatigue after being in high stress for over a decade and I feel less alone by hearing you because I feel like your story moved me :)

I had this for years and like you, the Doctors kept telling me that it was nothing, or tried putting me on antidepressants. At the end, he told me it as just who I was. Nothing they can do. Finally I found this wonderful Naturopath who healed me!! I was so grateful. I still see him 3-4 times a year for adjustments, usually always my adrenals. I have a stressful life, and work does not help either. It is so sad and frustrating that the Doctors do not see this as a real issue! Thank you for your video.

I had the same experience with the exhaustion and trying to figure out what was going on. My thyroid was fine so my doctor just assumed I was tired. It was hard to explain how I feel like I should have to feel like this forever. I accidently found a doctor that suggested a ketogenic diet and I'm brand new person. I feel awake for the first time since I can remember and I lost 73 pounds so far. No drugs or supplements. I'm so glad I found out about this even if it was by accident and I'm a nurse. This is not even mentioned in school. You are right that it's not really acknowledged by the mainstream medical community. Thank you for your video and bringing more awareness to the subject. It makes me angry to think that too many people are being diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorders needlessly when they could be suffering from adrenal fatigue.

I am from a Nursing background. And hearing this woman story makes it quite clear our "Doctors of Medicine" are just that doctors for Big Pharma and know little or care about learning about what they themselves Should know. Yes I too am just learning about this... I have complained for some time. I even know now my Divorce can be blamed on my Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue. And I kid you not I finally got a copy of my blood test and the next time I went in I asked about my thyroid results as it was off.. and they then said Oh yeah.. you are hypothyroid... and would not even had said anything if I had not taken the time to figure out I had a problem from my own blood test. Because I had asked shouldn't I be taking something for this? LOL.... and now studying... I really find out I need to be taking Iodine for my thyroid... and now I am too learning that really when you have a low thyroid it really means you have a bad adrenal problem. and i just learned about the Ragland's Test. But I don't even have to do that. If you have suffered from this you know exactly what it means to be so tired. I almost a year ago started to have tremors.... and I knew on my own that I now suffer from Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome... and I do have Post Polio Syndrome which is a neurodegenerative disease. Damage to Nerve Roots. But too because of severe stress it too is affecting my Thyroid. So really I know now the tremors are from a further breaking down of the nerves... from the Adrenal Gland Damage. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

What helped to during your healing process?

Thanks SO much for sharing your story! I’ve really struggled for forever with health and spent a fortune on supplements/naturopaths and every time I try to get off sups I crash. You’ve explained to me, why! I’ve always tried to get back to my past lifestyle and productivity. I get it now. I can’t and won’t. It was all too stressful and on top of it all, I have PTSD. I can’t thank you enough. Your KZread comes at the perfect moment.

You are saving one life at a time by sharing your story. To open up to the world and by being vulnerable and raw and honest about the good and the bad, you are just a breath of fresh air to those who have lost hope in ever finding an answer. My heart breaks for you and the years you were in search of help and could find none. To advocate for your health while in the condition you were in and all the time effort and energy that you had to use in such a difficult time in your life just amazes me. Something that is exhausting for a relatively healthy person to try and do, you did while you were so sick and you never gave up. I can’t imagine how you did it! But then to go forward and share your story and give others hope, it just shows how much compassion you have for others and it resonates throughout your whole video. I have been searching for over 10 years for why I got sick and what is going on in my body. After the countless doctors, drugs, therapies and every test imaginable I am worse than when it started. This has never been brought up. All this time. Never brought up. Like you said about the bloodwork, my thyroid was in normal parameters and they wouldn’t test for more and I have a doomed feeling that this has been the answer the whole time. For me, like you, they said it was other things. First it was depression, then chronic fatigue and pain disorder, then vitamin deficiencies, then they said it was all in my head, then fibromyalgia and 3 years ago when I couldn’t stay awake during the day and would fall asleep driving and speed just to get home to lay down (just like you described) and doing brain scans and a sleep study with no conclusions they diagnosed me with excessive daytime sleepiness/ narcolepsy. But all the videos I’ve watched and all I’ve learned along the way, none describe what I’ve been going through like yours did. It seems you and I have a lot in common. The stress and perfectionism aspects too. Your story and you telling it the way you did was what I and I’m sure many others have been just waiting to hear. So from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you for sharing your story. I will remember this day the rest of my life. God bless you!

Thanks for sharing your story. Had me in tears multiple times. Still searching for answers and a doc who actually helps.

Thanks so much for sharing your story and being so transparent. When I speak with patients, adrenal fatigue is a HUGE place where we start otherwise the thyroid, progesterone loss and gut dysfunction can ensue. Healing the adrenals and how we show up in life is massive!

This has been incredible to listen to, im 23 and have been seriously worried about my life for the past 3 years, thankyou again!

Anxiety, worry, depression, work stress, lack of sleep, I believe caused me this... I would sometimes "crash" to where i would have to stop working and lie down for 20 minutes.. like my blood sugars dropped or sompthing...I sometimes get palpitations, feeling like it's tight to breath, anxiety, feeling tired but not tired.. more anxiety.. low mood

Thank you for sharing your experience! I feel like I'm on the verge of Addison's disease, and so grateful that I've found some hope in healing from this. Bless your heart.

Thank you!! I have been suffering with Adrenal fatigue for nearly 20 years on and off myself. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety.... when I knew I wasn't depressed ! the irony of how much that increased my anxiety lol. Triggered by PTSD , childhood trauma, several terrible and intensely emotional periods including life threatening experiences a pregnancy at 44, single motherhood and a highly stressful job. I hit stage 3 again after first year of motherhood and found myself in perpetual burnout.....AGAIN . Can completely relate to the stairs and not having the energy to pick up a book. It is then that I can add depression to the list, but as a symptom, not a cause. It has had various levels of intensity over the years depending on stress and overall health. I have a little man to take care now so health and longevity is my primary focus obviously and have been cleaning up my diet over recent months, eliminating stress and stressful people, researching more, probing deeper, eliminating toxic foods one after the other trying to figure out what is wrong with me. No energy, no sex drive, brain fog, at times sleep issues, excessive thinking, exercise exhausts instead of invigorates, not losing weight even though my diet is now 95% plant based vegan. That's when I made the breakthrough. Thinking my Thyroid may have been off, again symptom not cause. It is, but it's my ADRENALS that are shot. 🙏 Broken fight/ flight=broken rest/digest .I have just put it all together in the last month and researched (scientific papers and functional medical practitioners). I am so relieved, I want to shout it from the roof tops... I know what is wrong with me !! 😆So I have made an appointment with a functional medicine woman, who will be visiting my town in the next month. will go back to my useless GP and have all my blood work done in the meantime. and continue 1. Healing my Gut 2. Healing my Adrenals and 3. Working at a cellular level to detoxify my body. You know what I really miss is the exuberance I once had. I thought my lack of vitality was based in experiences of past, but as I have truly done the emotional work to heal from them, I am just so happy to have found the solution to repairing the physical too. I want my energy back, I want my body back, I want my life back and I AM going to get there. Just starting the journey but so nice to hear personal testimony about healing it, as you said its very hard to find. Thank you once again and Greetings from Darwin NT 😊

The research is not settled, and there might be huge individual considerations. Still, your testimony makes me curious about carnivore. I’m so tired of being tired, and people thinking I’m lazy, or not “adult” in meeting their expectations. Oh yeah, and exercise more, it’ll increase your energy. It puts me on the couch for the rest of the day. Then depression follows as my life disappears.

The term adrenal fatigue is still being used, but the alternative medical community has discovered that the Hypothalmus (H) - Pituitary (P) - Adrenal (A) axis becomes dysfunctional with chronic stress which in turn causes many of the fatigue symptoms. I'm so glad you have overcome your fatigue!

I’ve been praying God gives me wisdom and shows me what is wrong then I run into your video out of no where I’ve never heard of adrenal fatigue but it makes so much sense now I will turn my focus and prayers to this!! I’ve had surgery to remove a cancer nodule so half of my thyroid is gone! Also have Hashimoto and really hoping to keep the remaining thyroid gland but I have to make some changes so my auto immune system doesn’t go down and welcome stupid cancer again! God bless you and thank you sooooo much for making this videos ♥️

Please check out Anthony William's books!! I have two videos on my channel about it - his books have changed my health so much. Here are they are: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2SnwbKiY722n6w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/app8ucOGg5PVpLw.html

I'm trying to control myself from commenting before I finish viewing your video completely but sorry I've got to say you are very inspiring and deserve a zillion viewers. You are so forthcoming with your troubles and I can so relate with the things you say and I can see the honesty too. You are amazing. Keep it up!

Thank you for your kind video and all that you taught me. I am more hopeful to overcome adrenal fatigue. God bless you and your family!

Just wanted to let you know that your video has helped me a lot today. Been feeling like this since high school and I am 27, have been through the medical system so I know how exhausting that it. Started to see a Natropath five months ago for adrenal fatigue as it had gotten worse since my mom passing away. At times it's discouraging be said you wonder hey it's been five months why the heck am I feel super crappy still!! Had to stay home today from work because of adrenal fatigue might have to go on disability leave but wanted to let you know your video really reached out to me and gave me hope while being in such a dark place! All the best on your continued recovery! :)

I'm so glad it was helpful, and I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I know that the recovery is discouraging at times as it can take so long. But just keep on looking after yourself and you will get there!

Thank you for sharing the part about trying not to fall asleep at the wheel. This whole time my doctors attribute it to narcolepsy, but the diagnosis didn’t quite fit since my symptoms didn’t completely match, except for the micronaps. This explains so much. Thank you!

Thank you for your honesty and sharing. I’m dealing the same issues as you do. You have been helpful in so many ways.

Awww, Jen, you've had a rough time but it sounds like you are much better now. I'm so glad about that. Keep taking good care. Hugs to you.

I am so, so happy that you overcame adrenal fatigue! Thank you so much for making this video as well! I found out that I have severe adrenal fatigue and that some of my hormones are almost nonexistent. I'm only 23, but I have been extremely hard on myself in the past and put myself under loads of stress for over five years. I guess my body finally had enough. Your video has given me so much hope in myself and my ability to heal. :)

Thank you So much for sharing your trial and your success. Dealing with Adrenal Fatigue at the moment.... on the mend, but it's such a journey.

Excellent video....thank you for sharing your story!

I love how you continued searching for answers, and then after all that fighting, you're sharing with others. One of the true light-bringers in the world. I wish you blessings from God and will also share that I am currently fighting through adrenal fatigue and finding my own answers. One resource that has been invaluable is Dr. Berg here on KZread. Anyways hope you are well.

Thank you SO much for sharing your story! I'm sure I'll watch this multiple times. I was just diagnosed by a naturopath with Adrenal Fatigue last week. It took me 8 months, 3 medical doctors, 2 longtime excellent holistic doctors, and 2 naturopaths to finally find this root cause of why I was so sick and tired. So now I go about the next part of the journey to learn about AF. Again thank you for sharing the details of what you've been through to get well.

How do they do the test?

Thank you! I’ve been battling Adrenal fatigue and thyroid disease for about 5 years (working with a functional medicine and naturopath doctors) now if I recall correctly. I moved from the east to west coast of the US two years ago to continue in the same job I had. However, the job has become extra stressful due to some unforeseen factors. I love the job outside of the problems that should be temporary, but they aren’t going away. I feel as though it would cause about as much stress to find a new job as it would to stay as this issue gets resolved, but I’ve had some recent sleep issues that have me struggling more than usual lately. I look forward to reading the book to learn more things that may help. It is good to hear from someone else who has had this as I’ve never met anyone with it.

Wow!! I'm so shocked how much I could relate to your story. So many of the same stressors I was dealing with since 2014. I finally have realized my adrenals are in really bad shape. My gp gave me the same song and dance that yours did. Your before story, I could have wrote myself! It was almost exactly the same. I'm starting to work with a naturopath now. Since my gp is absolutely useless. I just found out from the NPD, that I have low cortisol and low testosterone. I'm really worried and don't know where to go from here. I guess I need lots of rest and eliminate all stressors in my life. Any other advice would be great! Thank you so much for doing this video. It helps me feel not so alone.

Great story very encouraging. I have been struggling with this I thought I was crazy thanks a lot .

Thank you so much for this video. Just hearing about your journey helps ease my fear that I will never be back to normal.

I can't tell you how thankful I am for the video. I am seeing a functional medicine doctor for my adrenal fatigue. It was so encouraging and validating just to hear your story and know that someone else has felt what I'm feeling and come out the other side. Thank you so much.

such a wonderful woman to help us with her video, very informative. I think my hubby has this, hes so unwell, boiling hot then cold, nausea, pains, hair loss, tired tired tired , feels so ill but doctors cant find out whats going on, bowel issues, heart attack at 37. my hubby has had soooo much trauma , one thing after another , loss, more loss etc etc ... thanks for the video and i hope u stay well.

Thank you for this video. I am experiencing a lot of these symptoms. Especially the fatigue.

Thank you for sharing your story. This gives me sooooo much hope that I can and WILL get better ❤. I am glad to hear you were able to heal and feel better.

Thank you so much for the information. I been years looking for an answer for a terrible problem with sweat, fatigue ,panicked, lack of sleep and so on. I live in Australia. In here is so difficult to find someone like you describe. A big hug from the bottom of my heart.

You are correct. My GP also wanted to put me on antidepressants because his quick diagnosis was anxiety/panic attacks. I was at a point where I couldn’t even walk because of extreme exhaustion and that fell on deaf ears. I think, respectfully, that a lot of doctors are just prideful and don’t want to ever look like they don’t know something. They give you a quick diagnosis, get you out of the office asap and collect their payment.

They dont get paid enough from some insurance companies to spend larger amounts of time on each patient. That's why they often don't or can't really help until things get really bad.

I love your voice accent and your experience is amazing the same as mine; my stress was a caused by my marriage two narrist over many years and not being able to figure out the problem and blaming my self. Very stressful, iam in counseling now! Your experience was very helpful and so comforting! Thank you!

Your story is relating to mine as far as going into the Adrenals issue is concerned, but for recovery you are right I will have to implement the No to stress options strictly, I am dealing with it for past 9 years and till now couldn't recover completely but have partially due to beautiful people like you, who share good tips and stories, that give me confidence. The difficult part right now is that I am the sole earner for my family, that makes me constantly work harder in my job to have better pay every year, I don't know how to lower that stress currently, but will have to analyze it and plan. Thank you so much for your story and fantastic recovery plan.

Great video, thank you for sharing your journey. I like your clear, concise and helpful style.

I was just finally diagnosed with both adrenal fatigue/failure AND Hashimotos thyroid. You have given me hope!

Thank you for sharing! I've had hypothyroidism since I was 13, my doctors always said it's fine even though my TSH has always been around 3.5. That combined with huge amounts of stress lead to me falling ill to adrenal fatigue when I was 20. I am 21 now. The hardest and best thing I have ever done was learning to say NO and being okay with it. Life got so much easier and now I can just float. The road to recovery will be long and bumpy, but I am ready for the ride :)

Normal range for TSH is 0.3-4 so at 3.5 it is within the normal range. Learning to say NO is a huge milestone and makes a big difference, so well done!

I was told in many groups on Facebook that the normal range is from 1-2, and a doctor told me up to 2.5. Anything more than 3 is definitely too much! I have symptoms for 8 years now and it's become so bad I developed AF :/

Thank you so very much for sharing your experience in such detail. You're helping lots and lots of people. Plus the conversations that result in the comments are changing lives. God bless you and may you enjoy great health for the remainder of your life

Thank you very much for taking the time to talk about your experience, to give people in the same situation hope and valuable advice. Very much appreciated 🙏 I've been battling mental health issues since I was a child due to bad parents and I know how unhelpful doctors are. I learned by myself that I have C-PTSD, but it's impossible to see a psychiatrist through the NHS in England, and therefore it's impossible to get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I suffered with low energy my whole life, to a lesser or greater degree, and at this point I'm 33 and unable to have a job, don't socialise, don't go out, don't do anything! I've only learned a couple of days ago that there's something called adrenal fatigue and that's so obviously what I have. Before that, I realised I have chronic fatigue, but that's slightly different as it's not caused by huge amounts of constant stress, which is the root cause for my fatigue, my depression, my anxiety, my low immune system, etc. It's post traumatic stress, but it's sooo hard to get the right help and sooo discouraging, specially after 3 decades of suffering and not really knowing any better. So again: I really appreciate your advice and message of hope ❤ and I hope you're doing well with your health!

Girl I know the feeling. Everything you just mentioned. It's so frustrating that doctors aren't always helpful. It's so hard to reduced stress. I feel that I also have adrenal fatigue do to stress and also hormonal changes.

Thank you, you've helped me tremendously! I pray the best for you and all of us here looking for answers.

It took me today and this video to know what I've been stuggling with for the past 4 years. Thank you.

I am not surprised you were stressed with all that going on! 😳 I have fibromyalgia and suffer extreme fatigue. They say they don't know what causes Fibro but i'm guessing chronic stress plays a big part. Thanks for posting this video. I hope you are well now-7 years later 😊

And anxiety and depression

Everytime I feel like there’s something wrong with me, everyone around me like friends & family are like “just go to the doctor!!” Likeee I don’t even knows what’s wrong with me wtf is a doctor going to do? Prescribe me with pills and send me on my way? Along with charging me up the ass in medical bills for not even resolving the issue? No thank you. Update: went to the doctors. Got physical, pap, blood taken. I was diagnosed with pcos & hypothyroidism (hashimotos disease) yes they put me on medication 😭 but I honestly feel better.

You’re exactly right that’s usually all doctors want to do so be careful if you go to one. I do however recommend that you go for a basic physical and allow them to do tests through ordering lab work which is done with one needle drawing your blood into several vials, they can run so many tests and find out so many things about you that way and that’s the best way to start out when you are new to seeing a dr

Thank you for taking the time to explain well what adrenal fatigue is and the challenges. I can SO identify. I went through a similar process. I recently experienced a traumatic event that threw me right back into adrenal fatigue. You're right: saying "no" isn't the hard part, being okay with saying no is what's difficult. I'm learning! Thank you for being so candid. (I do have a wonderful functional medicine [holistic] doctor who was the one who diagnosed me - AFTER I had spent thousands on medical tests to get diagnoses on symptoms, not root cause). Thank you for doing this video!

Thanks for narrating it so wonderfully. It's very hard to explain people how you feel it when your suffering from it.

What helped me vitamin c camu camu powder life saver magnesium , b vitamins( nuitritional yeast) for anxiety /palpitations eat complex carbs like oats, sweet potatoes brown rice for sustained energy take good quality plant based minerals eat healthy fats coconut oil , Avacados, Ghee, avoid vegetable oil, soya , canola oils heal your gut with probiotics home made sauerkraut, fiber to avoid constipation at all cost Avoid following avoid fast food at all cost, no sodas , store bought juices, avoid refined white flour and products made with refined flour. avoid coffee, sugar, simple carbs, processed foods at all cost no alc, no smoking drink clean water buy a distiller if you can best investment light exercise like walking meditate and relax go to bed at 10 pm if possible

I'm crying thank you for sharing this video

Wow this is so powerful...I have adrenal SOMETHING...it’s not fatigue though. It’s like I’m constantly activated and too “on” and suffer from vertigo and congestion. It was triggered by stress and some days it’s a blessing that my body is talking and I’m listening. I’m also working with an acupuncturist who I adore!

I cried watching this video. I am SO GLAD you found help! Thank God! Thank you so very much for this video. I'm going to get the tests you mentioned. I've been in and out of hell for eight years now and unable to drive because of what I believe is the same condition you conquered!!! Congrats!!!

Just finding this video! Thank you for posting as I am just starting my healing journey with moderate AF. I identify with most things you are speaking of.

I'm from Singapore , there's no dr who recognise adrenal fatigue in Singapore. Had to call dr lam in USA but no dr in Singapore for face to face consultation. Prayers for those going thru fatigue be it AF or ME It's super hard but hopefully we'll see the silver lining soon

ooh lala There is no and I repeat NO such thing as adrenal fatigue.. there IS something called adrenal insufficiency which is a very rare + VERY deadly disease that affects one in one hundred thousand ppl. Those of us that have it are steroid bound every day for life or we die, period... DIE... no holistic anything can (or should ever be used by themselves) replace the life saving steroids that we must have. I would suggest you get an early morning cortisol to see where you’re at and if that comes back low then ask for an endocrinologist in order to see whether you have A.I./Addisons, but the rest... the rest I wouldn’t listen to
