Reversing Adrenal Fatigue For Life

(Healing Your Broken Stress Response)

by Dr. Andrew Neville

Many Adrenal Fatigue sufferers try several Western and alternative treatments, desperate to reverse Adrenal Fatigue and their whirlwind of mysterious symptoms. And yet, any relief they do find is short-lived.

It is possible to reverse Adrenal Fatigue successfully and recapture your zest and energy for life. You can be free of symptoms like extreme fatigue, anxiety, fibromyalgia, unwanted weight gain, menopausal symptoms, and depression, even if you've been suffering with them for years.

The first key is understanding: Adrenal Fatigue is not truly "adrenal fatigue." It’s actually a dysfunction of our entire Stress Response System. That’s why it affects the whole body in so many mysterious ways.

Thus, reversing Adrenal Fatigue requires healing the entire stress response system, not just the sluggish adrenal glands. 

We must treat (1) our endocrine system, (2) our nervous system, and (3) the limbic system of our brain. And what's most important is that we must heal the three parts simultaneously. 

For over 20 years and in over 6,000 patients, I've done this using my Trilateral Method of Healing Adrenal Fatigue. 
Understanding Your Stress Response System
The stress response system includes three essential parts:

➡️ Limbic System

➡️ HPA Axis

➡️ Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

All three systems must be rebalanced to restore adrenals. But healing Adrenal Fatigue effectively all starts with repairing the damage that’s taken place at the brain level. 
The stress response system includes three essential parts:

➡️ Limbic System
➡️ Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis (HPA Axis)
➡️ Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

All three systems must be rebalanced to restore adrenals. But healing Adrenal Fatigue effectively all starts with repairing the damage that’s taken place at the brain level. 
➡️ The Limbic System

The brain’s limbic system is the “CEO” of your stress response system. It’s the region of the brain in charge of keeping all of our organs running. It controls many of our “autopilot” functions, such as temperature regulation, sleep-wake cycles, and appetite and hunger signals.

One of the most important jobs of the limbic system is making the subconscious decision for your body to be in fight-or-flight mode when necessary. Once that decision is made, it simultaneously triggers both the nerve and hormone sides of the stress response. Then, the adrenal glands pump out stress hormones.

➡️ HPA Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal)

The hormone side of the stress response is called the HPA Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal). The hypothalamus and pituitary sit just under the limbic system in the brain. They are responsible for triggering the adrenals to release cortisol.
➡️ ANS (The Autonomic Nervous System)

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) consists of a network of nerves that control your organs. They also send signals to your adrenal glands to produce adrenaline.

It helps to think of the ANS as having two wires from your brain that travel to every organ in the body. 

One wire is a “fight-or-flight,” and the other is a “rest-and-digest.” These functions oppose one another; the ANS can only fire off one wire at a time. When a person is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, the body is hyper-focused on survival and nothing else.
Different Manifestations of Adrenal Fatigue
Different Manifestations of Adrenal Fatigue
Adrenal Fatigue can have many variations. Effective treatment of Adrenal Fatigue requires identifying whether the HPA Axis or the ANS is more out of balance. This requires a case-by-case assessment.

When a patient displays a rapid heartbeat while under stress, it is primarily the result of an imbalance in the main fight-or-flight nerve to the heart and, therefore, an ANS issue. 

But another patient who suffers from low blood sugar, which results from a cortisol imbalance, has a predominantly HPA axis issue.

Nerves are inherently different from hormones. Thus, individual assessment and treatment are essential to healing Adrenal Fatigue.

That said, you cannot affect one of these systems without affecting the other. They work together intimately. 
Fight or Flight: The Limbic System in Overdrive
Fight or Flight: The Limbic System in Overdrive
The limbic system’s job is to assess your environment consistently, both internally and externally. 

When the limbic system perceives a threat, it tells the adrenals, via the HPA Axis and the ANS, to flood our body with stress hormones. 

These stress hormones are adrenaline and cortisol, and they help our bodies mobilize and kick in our fight-or-flight response.

The adrenaline and cortisol tell your heart to beat faster and give you the oxygen you need to avoid danger. The hormones increase blood sugars for energy and prepare your muscles for whatever is coming your way, no matter how big or small the threat.

Most Adrenal Fatigue patients have an over-sensitive Limbic System that inaccurately assesses the environment, perceiving threats everywhere. 

The fight-or-flight response can be life-saving when turned on for a genuinely threatening situation. But if more trivial stressors trigger it, the constant flood of adrenaline and cortisol causes tremendous wear and tear on your body.
Adrenal Fatigue is from 
Long-Term, Chronic Stress
Today, our lives are full of so many “little” stressors. From packed schedules to stressors we can’t control, like environmental toxins or a virus, our limbic system constantly works overtime. 

Even the “normal” life changes we face can cause unnecessary stress. For example, a promotion to a higher job position, although a positive move, is often perceived as a stressor to our limbic system.

How Adrenaline and Cortisol 
Cause Adrenal Fatigue
Each time we are stressed, cortisol and adrenaline flood the whole body, including the limbic system itself. 

When the limbic system is overstimulated by chronic long-term stress, the adrenal stress hormones damage the limbic system itself. 

The more time passes, the more this increases the body-wide drain and dysfunction. 

How long were we designed to run from a predator? How long can our bodies hold out? Not long.

But these constant, daily—sometimes hourly—stressors always fire off cortisol and adrenaline. 

We get “stuck” in a chronic stress response and become increasingly sensitive to our environment. We start to over-interpret our world as always stressful. Things that wouldn’t have alarmed or even bothered us in the past now trigger our stress hormones. The constant overreaction feels like panic or anxiety. 

We can’t get our bodies out of fight-or-flight mode, even at the grocery store or while trying to get to sleep.

The above causes a vicious cycle of a chronic stress response, even when no stressors are present. 
The Sooner You Treat Adrenal Fatigue,
The Better
Chronic overstimulation of the limbic system—and as a result, the rest of the stress response—has detrimental effects on the body.

Adrenal Fatigue is directly related to the burden of chronic stress on the body. It can manifest in many ways, but here are some of the most common symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue:

➡️ Low energy levels
➡️ Body-wide aches and pains
➡️ Unwanted weight gain
➡️ Irregular sleep patterns
➡️ Intensified mood swings 
➡️ Slowed digestion and GI dysfunction
➡️ Worsening menopausal symptoms
➡️ Beginning thyroid disorders
What Other Adrenal Fatigue 
Treatments Are Missing

Most practitioners chase digestive, immune, and thyroid disorders, handing out prescriptions for symptoms while ignoring the underlying cause. They provide a "band-aid" solution to a deep, infected wound in your stress response system.

Of course, you have digestive, immune, and reproductive system problems; when your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, it suppresses these very systems. But the root cause of these symptoms lies in restoring the broken stress response system.

A quick approach to healing Adrenal Fatigue will never work. Why? The actual adrenal gland dysfunction is only part of Adrenal Fatigue.

Other doctors or internet "personalities" may even offer supplements or diets that provide "adrenal support." These quick fixes usually only treat one of three parts of the stress response system, when the entire thing needs specific attention and repair.

How to Reverse
Adrenal Fatigue
You may feel alone and exhausted right now, but you don't have to heal alone. You work with us from the comfort of your home.

Treatment is different for everyone because everyone’s body is genetically and biochemically unique and experiencing slightly different symptoms.

Depending on your symptoms and body markers, the stress response system must be targeted from various angles.

Yes, specifics may differ, but we always simultaneously heal your symptoms and the limbic, nervous, and hormonal systems.

I’ve been working exclusively with Adrenal Fatigue patients for over 20 years. I’ve seen and heard it all. As a result of over 6,000 patient interactions, I have developed successful healing programs based on my Trilateral Approach to Healing Adrenal Fatigue, while others may only just be beginning to grasp the concept.
