Adrenal Fatigue 101: Why You’re Tired, Stressed, and Wired All at Once

If you feel like you’re running on fumes, but still can’t sleep—you’re not alone. Many people today are stuck in a cycle of “wired but tired”, struggling with symptoms that don’t go away with coffee, rest, or even medication.

This is often a sign of adrenal fatigue, and at Coastal Health & Vitality, we help our Richmond Hill community get to the root of burnout.

What Are the Adrenals—and Why Do They Matter?

Your adrenal glands are small but mighty. They regulate your body’s stress response, releasing hormones like cortisol, DHEA, and adrenaline.

When stress is constant—emotional, physical, or environmental—your adrenals can become overworked, leading to dysregulation and fatigue.

Common Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue:

  • Morning exhaustion, even after sleep

  • Afternoon energy crashes

  • Craving salty or sugary snacks

  • Feeling overwhelmed by simple tasks

  • Brain fog and forgetfulness

  • Sleep disturbances or racing thoughts at night

  • Low motivation or depression

How Coastal Health & Vitality Supports Adrenal Health:

  • Saliva or DUTCH testing to measure cortisol and adrenal function

  • Supplement protocols to support adrenal recovery

  • Lifestyle & stress management coaching

  • Functional nutrition to rebuild energy at the cellular level

We also look at how your adrenals are interacting with thyroid and sex hormones—because it’s all connected.

Burnout Isn’t Just in Your Head—It’s in Your Hormones
