Running on Empty? It Might Be Your Adrenals
You wake up tired, but wired at night.
You hit a wall around 3 p.m.
You’re holding it together—but just barely.
Sound familiar? These are common signs your adrenal system may be in overdrive.
In today’s world of nonstop responsibilities and chronic stress, your adrenal glands—the tiny but powerful organs that help regulate your stress response—often bear the brunt. Over time, persistent stress can lead to cortisol dysregulation, throwing your entire system out of rhythm.
Signs of Adrenal Imbalance
When your adrenals are under strain, your body starts sending signals. You might notice:
Trouble falling asleep—or waking up in the middle of the night
Mid-day crashes that leave you desperate for coffee or sugar
Increased anxiety, irritability, or a sense of being constantly overwhelmed
Cravings for salty snacks or sweet treats
Feeling wired, tired, or both
This isn’t just burnout—it’s a deeper imbalance in how your body manages energy, stress, and recovery.
