<p>My understanding is that what is commonly referred to as adrenal fatigue is a state where your hormones adrenalin and cortisol are abnormal, but not to the point of more several hormonal disorders such as Addison's. When my cortisol was tested over a day by a saliva test, I received a diagnosis of adrenal fatigue because the levels were half of what they should have been over the entire day. </p> <p>In the 2001 bestseller mentioned above, the author points out that AF is a general diagnosis. According to the book, AF is caused by stress, blood sugar instability (high insulin), lack of sleep . . . basically factors that lead you to be tired and chronically unwell. The best medicine for AF is diet that stabilizes blood sugar, ample sleep at night, reduced stress, and decent exercise. AF is becoming almost too popular of a diagnosis, however this might not be bad if there is some recognition that the high stress, awful diet, no sleep lifestyle is one that leads to hormonal imbalances and poor health. </p>
