Overview[edit | edit source]

Adrenal fatigue is not typically caused by one source, rather a host of lifestyle factors that contribute to adrenal fatigue as a whole.
Such contributing factors include:
- Stress (physical and emotional)
- Poor diet
- Lack of exercise
- Significant use of stimulants (caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines)
- Lack of refreshing sleep
- Lack of relaxation
- Illness
- Being overworked
- Being post-surgery, as well as other stressors.

Adrenal stress tends to occur suddenly after a serious illness or stressful point in life.
