"in natural medicine, this often results in what we view as adrenal fatigue. Your adrenal glands are a part of your body that handle stress, and just like a muscle, sometimes we can ask more of the adrenal glands than they are meant to handle. In addition to fatigue, other signs of this can include finding yourself having a hard time getting going in the morning, having unexplained nausea or stomach problems in the morning, increased cravings for salt in general or just an increased craving for salt or sugar in the afternoon. Another sign might be feeling light headed on standing up. You don’t have to have all of these symptoms to have this problem, and for some the only symptom might be fatigue. Recovery can just be a matter of taking a break and giving yourself the time off that you need. This includes reducing life stresses, regularly getting eight hours of sleep, and being in bed before 10 p.m. However, often people need a little extra help in getting back to feeling normal again. This can include adrenal support like vitamin C and B vitamins. Some herbs are also helpful. In particular, stinging nettle seed is great for supporting the adrenal glands and encouraging recovery";
details, details, details. But what does the science say?

which states, overall:
"this systematic review proves that there is no substantiation that 'adrenal fatigue' is an actual medical condition. Therefore, adrenal fatigue is still a myth";
well, nothing posed as something IS actually very naturopathic.
003. Palmer's bio. page at his practice tells us he's an NUNM graduate:
and the stethoscope around the neck is the 'tuxedo', and the nonsense includes, beside adrenal fatigue, there: homeopathy, of course.
