It is not only a Modern society disease, it has just been ignored by the medical society, as it is too expensive to look into..............that is the saddest fact. I have Addisons too, but it took 3 years to diagose and my partner and myself demanding test after test, videos like this are what we rely on for information....thank you Dr Keenan,

Indeed.. a widespread and poorly diagnosed condition which is extremely prevalant, especially in industrialized nations (and it will be more and more common in the future as we desperately try to outcompete each other in this mindless, consumer capitalistic world of ours).

And yet doctors deny it (damn big pharma and their greed driven mandates.. no money to be made, no diagnosis).

nice video, but adrenal glands are just responding to the pituitary gland input. The Pituitary gland is the master gland and it tells all the other glands in the endocrine system what to do. I also thought i had adrenal glands issue, but found out i have a pituitary gland adenoma, which is secreting to much hormones and making my life a living hell.

Okay I need someones help.... For the past few months I have been getting in cars (it mostly happens when I'm in a car) and I start to have a panic attack for no apparent reason. It's like my life is about to end I feel so hopeless and lost during these intense panic attacks.... Could it be because of Adrenal fatigue?

What about the Flight or Fight feeling ? I have this 12 times a day. Cortisol, angry, tears, goose bumpbs and stuff .... What do you think i should do ? I'm in Australia ...

@XforeverlongingX Bullshit. the proper term for it would be insufficient cortisol metabolism, but I am not in the position to correct the established term. And I don't know where you get this from.. only a small minority of doctors diagnose adrenal fatigue via DHEA sulfate alone, and that is an incomplete approach.

The adrenals may be damaged by stress, but the most likely cause is stress related ACTH downregulation, causing reduced downstream metabolites, including cortisol.

@XforeverlongingX @XforeverlongingX I consider 24 h urinary testing to be the most reliable marker for cortisol metabolism.

And again you demonstrate your institutional arrogance; the fact that a lab is "alternative" doesn't make it any less valid. Besides, your precious mainstream cortisol serum tests are useless because they can easily produce a false negative result ("sufficient cortisol") even in patients on the threshold of total adrenal failure (addisons).

@XforeverlongingX Again you're putting words into my mouth. I know damn well the difference between full adrenal failure and the condition known as adrenal fatigue. Christ, I feel like I'm being patronized by a little child whose ego has run far afield of his actual medical knowledge.

"Adrenal fatigue" can be a misleading term, but it is not my task to correct anyone on that. Whatever term you wish to use, subclinical adrenal hormone insufficiency (most often cortisol) is a real phenomenon.
