What is Adrenal Fatigue and why is it so important to stay on top of your adrenal health?

Balanced adrenal organs are a key piece of being Bulletproof. Your adrenals make and regulate cortisol, which makes it important for dealing with stress.  When your adrenals work in the manner in which they should, you turn out to be stronger and have a much easier time going up against life’s difficulties.

When you’re overwhelmed by constant stress, your adrenals can get worn out from constantly creating cortisol. The outcome is adrenal fatigue. Your natural cortisol rhythm winds up sporadic — in some cases, you create too much cortisol, sometimes not enough.  Your adrenal glands make a variety of hormones that are essential to life.

What causes Adrenal Fatigue
