Are You Tired, Stressed, and Just Not Feeling Like Yourself? It Could Be Adrenal Fatigue.

Many people don’t realize that stress and poor health are deeply connected. If you’re constantly stressed or not getting enough rest, it can take a serious toll on your body—specifically on your cortisol levels.

Cortisol is one of over 50 hormones produced by the adrenal glands—two small but powerful glands that sit just above your kidneys. These glands play a key role in maintaining energy, managing stress, and supporting your immune system.

One of the most common things we hear from patients struggling with adrenal fatigue is:
👉 “After [a major stress or life event], I was never the same.”

That turning point often follows periods of:

  • Financial stress
  • Emotional strain
  • Infections or illness
  • Poor diet (especially sugar and processed foods)
  • Smoking or drug use
  • Unemployment or life instability

Over time, these stressors can cause your adrenal glands to struggle, leading to reduced cortisol production—your body’s main stress-handling hormone. And when cortisol levels drop, your energy, focus, and even your mood can take a hit.

Common Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Low blood pressure or blood sugar
  • Frequent headaches
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Low libido
  • Fertility issues
  • Feeling “off” or not like yourself

💚 You don’t have to keep pushing through. If this sounds like you, New Leaf Wellness in West Des Moines and all the other locations can help. We offer cortisol testing and personalized support, including supplements designed to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again.

✨ Let us help you restore your energy, health, and vitality—naturally.

Struggling with Fatigue? Your Hormones Could Be to Blame!

Do you feel tired all the time? Older than your actual age? Lacking the energy to do the things you love?

Fatigue is a common issue, and it can stem from many causes—sleep apnea, heart conditions, anemia, infections, dehydration, poor nutrition, or lung problems. That’s why getting a thorough evaluation is crucial. But what if all your tests come back “normal” and you’re still exhausted?

Many people in this situation are prescribed antidepressants—sometimes necessary, but often not the real solution. If you’re between 35 and 55 years old, or even younger or older, a hormonal imbalance could be the true cause of your fatigue.

Hormones & Energy: What You Need to Know

While many associate low energy with thyroid issues, another major cause often gets overlooked—low Testosterone in both men and women.

✅ Men often aren’t treated until their Testosterone levels are dangerously low, and even then, they’re only offered synthetic replacements that don’t restore optimal levels.
✅ Women are rarely treated for low Testosterone at all, even though they need it—just at lower levels than men.

Why Ignoring Low Testosterone is Risky

Untreated low Testosterone can lead to:
❌ Persistent fatigue & brain fog
❌ Muscle loss & reduced vitality
❌ Increased risk of osteoporosis, dementia, and possibly heart disease

Discover how regular physical activity contributes to optimal hormone production, fostering a sense of vitality and resilience.

Lifestyle choices encompass a broad spectrum, from sleep patterns to stress management. Recognize the profound influence of quality sleep on hormonal balance and overall health. Explore stress reduction techniques, such as mindfulness and meditation, to keep the stress hormone cortisol in check.
