Feeling Constantly Tired? Struggling to Focus? Let’s Talk About Adrenal Fatigue.
We know why you’re here—you’re looking for answers. Maybe you’re exhausted before training even starts, struggling to focus at work, or feeling wired but unable to sleep. Perhaps you’re dealing with intense cravings that throw off your nutrition, making it harder to reach your goals.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people experience symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, and cravings—often labeled as Adrenal Fatigue.
But what exactly is Adrenal Fatigue? And more importantly, how can you start feeling better?
What is Adrenal Fatigue?
Adrenal Fatigue is a term commonly used to describe the idea of underactive adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing key hormones that regulate stress, metabolism, and blood pressure. You may recognize these hormones:
- Noradrenaline & Adrenaline – Fight-or-flight hormones that help you respond to stress.
- Cortisol – Your primary stress hormone, playing a key role in metabolism and blood sugar regulation.
- Aldosterone – Helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure.
The theory is that after prolonged stress, your adrenal glands become “fatigued,” leading to lower hormone production and persistent exhaustion.
However, Adrenal Fatigue is not a medically recognised condition. That doesn’t mean what you’re feeling isn’t real—just that these symptoms can have many underlying causes, from sleep disorders and thyroid issues to low energy intake.
So, instead of searching for a quick fix, let’s focus on what actually helps: fueling properly, sleeping better, and getting personalised guidance.

Why This Matters: The Real Reasons You’re Feeling Run Down
The symptoms of “Adrenal Fatigue” overlap with a range of other conditions, including:
✅ Chronic stress and burnout
✅ Sleep disorders
✅ Low iron or B12 levels
✅ Thyroid imbalances
✅ Perimenopause and hormone shifts
✅ Low Energy Availability (LEA)—when you’re not eating enough to fuel your body
Ignoring these signs or trying to push through with caffeine and willpower won’t work long-term. If you’re training hard but still feel exhausted, nutrition for recovery and performance could be the missing piece.
The Two Biggest Game Changers: Energy Intake & Sleep
If you’re looking for real solutions, these two areas will make a significant impact:
1️⃣ Eating Enough to Fuel Your Body
- Many athletes and active people unknowingly under-eat, leading to fatigue, poor recovery, and hormone disruptions.
- Working with a sports dietitian can help you find the right balance to improve energy and performance.
2️⃣ Prioritising Sleep & Managing Caffeine
- Aim for at least 8 hours of quality sleep.
- Keep caffeine intake in the morning to avoid disrupting your sleep cycle.
- Small adjustments to nutrition, training, and bedtime routines can have a huge impact on recovery.
