The Truth About Adrenal Fatigue With Marek Doyle

I speak with Functional Nutritional Therapist Marek Doyle about adrenal function. We discuss:

• Why we shouldn't get bogged down in terminology.  
• The true purpose of the stress response.
• The connection between the gut and the adrenals.
• The two different types of leaky gut and why it may be an adaptive response.
• The self-perpetuating cycles that can develop after a triggering event such as a viral infection.
• How, at least initially, low adrenal output (low cortisol) may be an adaptive response (i.e deliberate) which becomes maladaptive over time.
• Foundational, and essential strategies to start restoring optimal function to the adrenals.
