Diana Schwarzbein, M.D. - Adrenal Gland Burnout

[TheSonyb90]

bullshit look at her gooseneck she doing something that making her hyper.wonder what it is. ............candida is root of all evil........study and learn.

I too am dealing with adrenal burnout. I think the best way to just recover is just too simply rest! You can't just take supplements and continue to work at a high level and expect to get better. I think this thing could be simpler than what we are making it out to be. Just simply slow down eat good (which is what you supposed to do anyways) and light exercise (walk).

[palatiality]

wow this is interesting, it seems that the adrenal gland is the 4th most important part of the body (with heart, brain, and stomach being the other 3) although people are welcome to disagree :D i know the thyroid is vital too.

[Denishinobi]

zerglings like adrenal glands evolutioned

[MadelneG]

I definitly agree w DrHMFIC on the no shortcuts and pushing harder but also agree that a bio identical hormones are to be homostasis purposes and not to keep doing the stressors..

anyone know on the "time" to recover?? curious to know more.

[DerekChaunessey]

My doctor gave me an adrenal support supplement by Standard Process called Catalyn. But I have no symptoms of adrenal fatigue, only low thyroid symptoms. But the supplement contains wheat germ and soy, two things I avoid vehemently because wheat at least causes me to have facial tics.

[researchfiend]

@DerekChaunessey Soy is the last thing a person with thyroid problems should consume. As a rule wheat is bad as most people in the West are allergic to some degree. I would ask your md for something purer and more healthy or find another endocrinologist.

Learn to read. Commentator said "always check with a doctor before using these supplements" and secondly just because you have a differing opinion about hormones and adrenals does not make it a fact. Nobody needs to read comments from some self-proclaimed anonymous You Tube know-it-all spouting off misinformation and rhetoric. As a "Chillologist" you don't have any qualifications to

make any health statements.

DON'T TAKE DHEA IF YOU ARE A WOMAN! It collects over time in your brain and can have masculinizing effects that take time to go away.

[Soulnik]

The hormones DHEA and Pregnenolone (among others) may help with adrenal burnout. Always check with a doctor before using these supplements.

[DrHMFIC]

The mechanism by which these hormones work risks further exhaustion of adrenals. Probably the most idiotic way to deal with or ADVISE OTHERS for how to deal with adrenal fatigue.

Sorry, but no shortcuts to proper nutrition and allowing time to recover, meaning reduced exposure to whatever stresses are causing the problem in the first place. Training harder, pushing harder, taking hormones that help you keep pushing harder....is the bonehead approach that makes for advanced burnout.

[soulextremist]

Of course you have to eat good and identify the stressors in your life...but I dont think bio identical hormones are meant for you to keep pushing harder..its meant to put the body into homeostasis..and that combined with good nutrition and stress management will for sure put the body into balance!

[researchfiend]

@Soulnik Even though I have stage III adrenal fatigue aka borderline secondary adrenal insufficiency I have high DHEA.

Those who have AF need to do saliva testing for your DHEA levels as you don't want too much DHEA in your body particularly in supplemental form.

[XforeverlongingX]

@researchfiend You're being scammed. The saliva tests are rigged. You do not need to replace DHEA. You don't need to treat adrenals unless you have a disease of the glands.

[XforeverlongingX]

@Soulnik There is no such thing as "adrenal fatigue" unless you have an adrenal disease. These people are trying to A. get you into their office B. buy their products. These people are treating you for things that you don't have by telling you that you have adrenal burnout or adrenal fatigue. It's simply impossible unless your adrenal glands are diseased, which can be VERY serious and would require that you visit an endocrinologist, which is a licensed medical doctor.

[dannybex]

@XforeverlongingX Man, how long have you been working for Big Pharma? A four year old child understands that prolonged stress is going to affect SOMETHING, and that's likely the adrenals, and that they can become "diseased" (look up the word) from prolonged stress among other things. By the way, Dr. Schwarzbein is in fact, an endocrinologist.

Sheesh.
