The Hidden Cost of Chronic Stress
You wake up tired, drag yourself through the day, and rely on caffeine to function.
You crash in the afternoon, only to feel restless or anxious at night.
Your sleep is broken, your mood swings, and your energy feels unpredictable.
This isn’t just a stressful week or a bad habit.
These are the signs of adrenal fatigue — a stress-related condition that disrupts your hormones and drains your energy.
At MyWellbeing, we help you understand how stress and hormone imbalances are linked and guide you to take back control of your health.
What Is Adrenal Fatigue?
Your adrenal glands produce cortisol, a hormone that helps regulate stress, metabolism, energy, and your immune system.
When you’re under continuous stress, your adrenal glands produce too much — or too little — cortisol, disrupting your body’s natural rhythms.
Over time, this imbalance affects other hormones, contributing to ongoing fatigue, poor sleep, weight gain, mood issues, and even low immunity.
Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Feeling tired all the time, despite rest
- Struggling to get out of bed
- Restless or broken sleep
- Increased anxiety, low mood, or irritability
- Craving sweets or salty foods
- Unexplained weight gain around your waist
- Low sex drive
- Frequent illnesses or infections
- Brain fog and forgetfulness
- Feeling lightheaded when you stand up
The Domino Effect of Hormone Imbalance
When cortisol is chronically imbalanced, it affects:
- Thyroid Function — Slowing metabolism and draining energy
- Sex Hormones — Leading to PMS, menstrual issues, menopause symptoms, low libido, or mood swings
- Blood Sugar Regulation — Causing cravings, energy crashes, and fat storage
This creates a vicious cycle of fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and hormonal disruption.
What Causes Adrenal Fatigue?
- High-demand jobs, caregiving, or family pressure
- Chronic sleep deprivation
- Poor nutrition and irregular eating patterns
- Overuse of caffeine or processed foods
- Chronic health conditions or inflammation
- Emotional trauma or unresolved stress
- Over-exercising or not exercising enough
