fire. So if you are pushing and pushing yet not seeing any results it might be
time to switch gears. Finding balance is the key with lower intensity workouts

Adrenal Fatigue
I have a few of my clients that have been working their butt
off and doing everything right yet still seem to be stuck with their weight.
They also are experiencing additional symptoms including: abdominal weight
gain, difficulty sleeping, lack of energy, mild depression, increased food
cravings, mental fogginess. After doing some more research one of the culprits
that I have found is adrenal fatigue. It is often caused by a wide range of
physical and psychological stressors — a demanding job, raising a family,
relationship dynamics, lack of sleep, financial pressures, suboptimal
nutrition, dieting, unresolved emotional distress — signal the adrenal glands
to produce stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. When our adrenal
glands are required to chronically sustain high cortisol levels, they
eventually become impaired in their ability to respond appropriately.
