Holistic Treatment Approach with Dr. Sokolova

Adrenal fatigue occurs when adrenal gland function declines, typically due to chronic stress. This condition affects individuals facing persistent or severe emotional, mental, or physical stress, and its impact on health is often overlooked by the medical community. Adrenal fatigue can influence conditions such as allergies, weight gain, and even immunity, yet it remains misunderstood.

Adrenal fatigue is a syndrome that presents through a variety of symptoms, most notably fatigue that persists despite adequate rest. Those affected often feel "off," lacking vitality and energy, even if they appear to function normally. Many rely on caffeine, sugary drinks, or snacks to get through the day, yet still feel more energized in the evening.

The body undergoes numerous changes at the biochemical and cellular level to compensate for reduced adrenal hormone production, but this adaptation comes with consequences. It’s essential to address the root causes of this condition before more significant health problems arise.
