Here are the key takeaways:
Fatigue is so common but it is not “normal”
Providers in the conventional medicine often dismiss women and their symptoms
Women experience fatigue more easily than men.
“Adrenal fatigue” also know as HPA dysfunction is at the root of fatigue for busy working, high-achieving women
The sympathetic nervous system AKA fight or flight is triggered by stress
There are 3 phases of the stress response: acute phase, compensatory phase and exhaustion phase
I find most women with fatigue are in the compensatory phase or exhaustion phase
You feel fatigued when your cortisol is low
We can test cortisol levels with salivary cortisol testing. I prefer to use the DUTCH Plus from Precision Analytical with my clients.
