Let’s talk about a controversial condition: adrenal fatigue. This term describes a syndrome that people supposedly suffer from in response to prolonged stress. Long-term stress puts undue strain on your adrenal glands, which can cause them to stop functioning correctly, causing lethargy and other negative effects on your health and body composition. This sounds like a plausible theory, but it’s highly controversial in the medical world, primarily because there is no explicit scientific evidence that adrenal fatigue exists.

And so in this podcast, I’m going to look at the broader body of research on adrenal function and fatigue. Let's see what we can learn about this theory of adrenal fatigue and whether it’s worthy of further consideration.
