Stress, Adrenal Fatigue and Symptoms; Including Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
Tue, 09/09/2014 - 5:48pm
Adrenal fatigue is a cause of insomnia and other symptoms that are outlined very well at this Idaho chiropractor's topic at his website, which overall focuses on MTHFR information. He does not only national but international consultations by phone, which makes for a great resource for our YOUsers. So I was pleased to find this website and provide this topic. Link:
beyondmthfr.com/2014/05/26/adrenal-fatigue-how-to-beat-and-treat-the-effects-of-stress/
As I typically do, in order to encourage YOUsers to follow the links that I provide and suggest, here's the topic:
Adrenal Fatigue – How to Beat and Treat the Effects of Stress
26MondayMay2014
This Memorial Day post is not exactly a methylation-based presentation, but still worth your thoughtful consideration. Adrenal fatigue is a plague that impacts everyone whether we are genetically imbalanced or not. We cannot live without stress, yet our world seems to be running wild with stressful situations. It takes a toll on each and every one of us whether we know it or not. In this video I lay out the groundwork for why adrenal fatigue is such a big problem.
I explain how stress in its many forms manifests itself in a predictable fashion inside our bodies – impacting our gut, brain, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine system.
At the link you'll find the video embedded in the topic, it's very well done and interesting.
The goal for the viewer is to learn to recognize the effects of stress, and learn what we can do to help our bodies overcome the stress. Knowledge of what the problem is must come first before going out and trying to fix it. And this video explains in detail exactly what adrenal fatigue does to our bodies. The most common signs of adrenal fatigue are:
- insomnia
- depression
- anxiety
- chronic colds and flu
- low thyroid function
- inability to tolerate exercise, or stress at work and home
- chronic fatigue
- unable to wake up without coffee or stimulants
- afternoon fatigue
- narcolepsy
- Raynaud’s and POTS-type dysautonomia
- cancer
- weight gain despite diet and exercise
- infertility
- irritable bowel
- GERD and acid reflux
- chronic yeast infections – vagina, throat, and gut
- and more
Simply stated, the above health problems are often the result of an imbalance in our stress response. Meaning, when levels of cortisol and epinephrine/norepinephrine get out of balance, it drives our system into dysfunction. The hormones and catecholamines produced by the adrenal glands are powerful, life-necessary compounds that allow us to adapt to our environment. However, chronic stress and the resulting adrenal fatigue impairs our physiology due to the negative side effects of these powerful biomolecules.
Stress may just be the biggest threat we face to our health. It doesn’t even matter what genes you inherited. If your body / mind / spirit is constantly living a space where it feels like it is running for its life, the net effect will be multiple system breakdown. Chronic stress will impair all non-essential body systems, including methylation, since building a better, healthier body is something we do AFTER we’ve survived our bout with the saber-toothed tiger.
Stress shifts the body’s resources into fighting or running away. And to that end, it causes negative effects (on top of all our genetic imbalances mind you) to our digestion, detoxification, neurological, immune and energy systems. And what are the main complaints from patients dealing with methylation imbalances??? You get the picture. Enjoy the show and as always, share it and reach out if you have any comments or questions.
In Health,
Dr. Rostenberg

Editing this blurb / tip in about how-to be learning at Lumigrate's forums, or as a reminder on September 9, 2017. (570 reads of this topic at this time.) Several topics in this forum have had 1,000 views or more, and I hope people are knowing how to navigate the website to find more in the 'area' of information you seek.
You can see the 'map' of the website .. Home on the left, then the Forums tab, then container/section. If you just click on the one at the end (right) you'll then see other topics in the forum. If you click the one before that you'll see what forums are in the section, and if you click Forum you'll get the whole forum area. Click home and you get the landing page/home page. I think people know that, they often don't think to click on the link to look into the forum at what other topics there are. Particlarly when their brains are not working well, which --- is why you're here! So I hope that tip helps.
To make it easier if you'd prefer, here's a link to the forum showing all the topics that are in this sleep / insomnia forum. www.lumigrate.com/forums/health-issuesdis-eases/sleep-and-insomnia
You will see a sleep survey provided by Dr. Jim Kennedy, DDS of the holistic kind. I suggest you read and consider taking it and then taking action from there. Take Care! ~ Mardy
