QUESTION:
Should I have my adrenals tested?
ANSWER:
It depends on how you feel. If you feel happy in general, get seven to nine hours
of sleep a night, recover well from stress, and can maintain a healthy weight without
dieting, your adrenal function is most likely healthy. However, if you’re exhausted
in the morning, dragging by late afternoon, then come to life at night, feel emotionally
drained or unstable, find yourself using caffeine or refined carbohydrates to pick
yourself up, or can’t seem to lose excess weight, you may benefit from having your
adrenal hormones evaluated. To learn more, see our page on adrenal testing.
