Adrenal Stress – Know the Signs & Symptoms
Are Your Adrenals in Trouble?
Your adrenal glands play a critical role in how your body responds to stress, maintains energy, and balances hormones. However, chronic stress and modern lifestyles can lead to what's commonly referred to as adrenal fatigue—a condition that often goes unrecognized in conventional medicine.
Common Signs Your Adrenals May Be Fatigued:
Persistent fatigue or exhaustion
Body aches and general discomfort
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Unexplained weight gain or loss
Low blood pressure and dizziness
Skin discoloration or changes
Hair thinning or loss
Cravings for salty or sugary foods
Insulin resistance or blood sugar issues
Hormonal imbalances
What Wears Down the Adrenal Glands?
At Chiropatrick Chiropractic, we educate our patients on the root causes of adrenal stress. Understanding these triggers is the first step to healing.
Prolonged physical or emotional stress
Lack of quality sleep
Nutrient-poor diet
Overuse of caffeine or stimulants
Chronic inflammation or pain
Food intolerances or allergies
Surgery or trauma
Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis
The Vicious Cycle of Adrenal Burnout
Think of your adrenal system like a boat—built to carry stress, but only so much. The more weight (stress) you pile on, the more it sinks. Eventually, hormone production slows, dehydration sets in, and your kidneys—already working overtime—begin to suffer.
Even though traditional lab tests may show your cortisol levels are “normal,” many patients still don’t feel well. That’s because your overall hormone balance and resilience may already be declining behind the scenes.
How to Break the Cycle and Reclaim Your Health
At Chiropatrick Chiropractic, we believe healing is possible with the right support and lifestyle shifts. Here’s how to start your recovery:
✅ 1. Reduce Stress
Stress may be inevitable—but how we respond to it is within our control. Prioritize mental health and physical activity:
Get consistent, restorative sleep
Practice mindfulness or relaxation techniques
Exercise regularly—especially low-impact movement like walking or yoga
Seek support: talk to a professional if needed
✅ 2. Let Your Diet Work For You
Food is medicine. To support your adrenal glands:
Eliminate or drastically reduce caffeine, refined sugar, processed foods, and hydrogenated oils
Replace these with whole, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats (avocados, olives, nuts, seeds, fatty fish)
Choose natural sweeteners like raw honey or stevia instead of artificial ones
✅ 3. Support Recovery with Strategic Supplementation
Sometimes, lifestyle changes aren’t enough on their own. That’s why we often recommend high-quality nutritional supplements to help the adrenal glands bounce back.
Key nutrients and compounds include:
Whole food B vitamins
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids
Organic minerals & amino acid chelates
Rhodiola rosea
L-tyrosine
Chlorella
Glandular extracts (Adrenal, parotid, thymus, spleen)
Our recommended formula, Opti-Adrenal™, combines these therapeutic ingredients to support stress recovery, hormone balance, and cellular repair.
Dosage: Take 2 capsules twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider at Chiropatrick Chiropractic.
