Ageless Functional MedicineIt’s 2025, and chronic stress, poor sleep, and overload are burning people out. Your adrenal glands—key to energy and stress response—can get overworked. Let’s uncover signs of adrenal fatigue, what causes it, and how to restore your energy.
Ageless Functional MedicineHPA Axis Dysregulation, or adrenal dysfunction, occurs when stress causes miscommunication between the brain and adrenal glands, affecting hormone production like cortisol. Common signs include fatigue, cravings, anxiety, and dependence on caffeine. Chronic stress, emotional or physical, plays a significant role in adrenal health. Support your adrenals by practicing morning sunlight exposure, regular exercise, cold showers, consistent routines, and stress-reducing techniques like meditation. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and supplements like magnesium also help. Balancing cortisol levels can improve energy, mood, and overall health.
