http://www.SportsNutritionVlog.com Adrenal Fatigue Tests are increasingly popular Matt Lovell describes the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and what you can do about it.
@ratiocinativeness: Your diet sounds a lot like mine, but I also focus on hot soups with good combination of yin and yang foods inside. The hot soup going down feels great at my thymus, which, I believe, has been affected by my adrenals. Exhausted adrenals can often lead to underactive thymus. this, in turn, affects heart function (circulation) and breathing. This is how I understand it, anyway.
I practice Chi Kung and meditation (Hindu chant), incoorporating color visualization.
@escapeclaus My TCM doc prescribes herbal formulas that come in a pill form.
I selected supplements myself after researching them and trial and error- B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3/K2, low dose of calcium/magnesium/zinc, MEGA doses of probiotics and krill oil. 2/3rds my diet is veggies, greens, mushrooms, berries, and seasonal fruit. 1/3rd organic meat, dairy, nuts/seeds, and grains.
I used to have a slight "mystery" cough (asthma). I wonder if that's typical for overactive adrenals?
@ratiocinativeness; I hear you about stimulating foods. As soon as I went from coffee to green tea, the chills and asthma almost disappeared. That's amazing that your naturopath and your T.C.M. doctor came up with the same systemic condition.
I wanted to ask you about your supplement regimen. Did you arrange and select it yourself? Or did a professional guide you? My T.C.M. doctor prescribes a custom blend of herbs that I boil in a strong decoction.
@MrChuckmiclickurmom I saw 2 doctors... a chinese medicine doctor and a naturopathic doctor. This is the crazy thing... my naturopathic doctor diagnosed me with weak but overactive adrenals. My chinese medicine doc diagnosed me with kidney yin deficiency and a lung chi deficiency. The cool thing is that those 2 separate diagnoses across 2 different medicinal systems were the same, that is if my understanding of kidney yin in TCM is correct. I am fine now. Read my other comment here I left today
@escapeclaus yeah, strange thing is that I actually saw a Chinese medicine doc. I was deficient in Kidney Yin; my lung/defensive chi was deficient/stagnant. I'm taking mega doses of krill oil, Vit. C, magnesium, calcium, zinc, B complex, phosphatidyl serine, and probiotics (probiotics eliminated ALL my digestive issues)-- I'm seeing VERY excellent results. I think this all means my cortisol/adrenaline levels were too high, esp as I cannot eat anything simulating... so, you were right.
@MrChuckmiclickurmom: Doctors will tell you nothing. They will either ignore you or totally dismiss your suggestion. I saw an endocrinologist and an infectious disease specialist. They came up blank. Traditional Chinese Medicine is superior in cases of endocrine disorder.
