Hey Everyone,
Newbie here. My naturopath ran a cortisol test and I was diagnosed with stage 3 adrenal fatigue. I’m a 32 y/o make. In general I’ve been a very active athlete and l would life weights/play basketball a lot. Went through a stressful period in life and then years later developed fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, panic attacks/anxiety, and more. Come a long way since then. Couple symptoms I’m trying to figure out is after I play basketball ( , I feel good for a couple hours and then hours later I crash. Also it seems like I gain weight instead of lose it, my stomachs fat increases .
Would be thankful for any insight you all have!
Symptoms/Treatments:
Low coritsol all day:
Morning 7.2
Noon 2.2
Evening 1.3
Night >0.33
Taking Adrecore and Adrenal Complex with Licorice Root.
Neurotransmitters on the low side:
Glutamate. 10.0
Epinephrine. 2.0
Norepinephrine 11.7
Dopamine 113
(PEA) (65) little high
Taking Balance D, travacor,vitamin c, zinc, vitamin D, choline, l-phenalyine, Acetyl Carnitine, COQ10, amino acids, collagen peptides
Border line pre-diabetes
Taking metabol complex, cinnamon with chromium. Having a hard time fixing this.
High cholesterol. Also not sure where this came from or if it has to do with my hormones being out of whack?
Cholesterol, Total 256
Triglycerides 204
HDL Cholesterol 51
VLDL Cholesterol Cal 41
LDL Cholesterol Calc 164
Always have had hyper sweating during exercise. (taking magnesium, Calcium, 1 tsp of salt, potassium, Electrolyte drink)
Hormone imbalances:
DHEA: 363 High
Testosterone: 56 pg/ml (says suboptimal)
Progesterone 26
E1. 11.4
E2. .90
E3. 27.9
PG/E2 ration. 28.9 (says ratio in line with estrogen dominance)
Just started progesterone cream 5mg and pregnolone 2.5 mg per day. Pregnolone at night makes me anxious and wired.
Any insight would be great! The insulin resistance/high cholesterol part has been hard to beat and I wonder if that’s why I feel so bad after exercise? The strange thing is it’s always a delayed reaction either a few hour later I feel bad if I play ball in the morning or if I play at both I get the delayed fatigue the next day.
Asked for them to test me for hypo also, but they only tested a couple markers :/ .
t4 free , 1.12
TSH, 2.310
Not sure where to go from here, I’ve been trying to beat this thing for a couple years now.
