The adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, secrete stress hormones including cortisol and adrenaline. Adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenal glands produce too little or too much of either stress hormone. Conventional medicine recognizes two adrenal-related diagnoses: Addison’s Disease (low cortisol) and Cushing’s Syndrome (high cortisol). High or low cortisol in the absence of adrenal disease can cause fatigue, body aches, and a host of other symptoms commonly seen in patients. Clusters of these symptoms are what clinicians commonly diagnose as adrenal fatigue.
