Are you suffering Adenal Fatigue?
Adrenal Fatigue is a condition that turns up when we need it least - when we're stressed!
Many people may experience these symptoms and think it's associated with depression or another issue, and try to resolve the symptoms rather than permanently fixing the real problem.
If you suffer from three or more of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from adrenal insufficiency or fatigue:
1. Abuse alcohol, drugs or food as a coping mechanism
2. Anxiety and/or depression
3. Energy slump especially in the afternoon around 3.00pm
4. Exhaustion/extreme fatigue
5. Frequent headaches
