IF the adrenal fatigue is related to
SYMPATHETIC nervous system overtraining (e.g. too much weight training, intensity, etc.) then I suspect the answer is YES due the hormonal boost it can give.
Systemic inflammation,
sympathetic nervous system dominance, endocrine dysfunction, excessive cortisol, fatigue, infection and malaise can all stem from
overtraining, making it very difficult to achieve a healthy body composition, robust immune
system and overall well - being.
The very very last thing that I add in and sometimes it can be a good 12 - 15 weeks before I add in this component is chronic competitive motion where it's okay, we're actually going out to go on a bike ride or swim or run or something that is metabolic conditioning roadwork because that's the stuff in someone that is
overtrained who often times has their parasympathetic
nervous system really really beat up you know, if you test their heart rate variability, the number called there high frequency is really really consistently low you know usually because there are triathletes or marathoners that's more often I'm dealing with those people with adrenal fatigue than I am with like a cross fitter who's kind of an opposite
sympathetic nervous system fatigue issue but with those parasympathetic
nervous fatigue, the last thing we add back in is the swimming and the biking and the running because it's important to realize that when you're trying to recover from adrenal fatigue or
overtraining, even if you're doing like an easy swim or an easy bike ride or an easy run, if you're a triathlete or a marathoner or a swimmer or a cyclist, those easy sessions send a message to your body that you're training, that you're running from a lion and you still get that hormonal depletion and it's so easy for you to just turn into a depletion session and so that's the very very last thing that I'll add back in so that's kinda like the crow's eye view of you know, the type of things that I'll implement in a program for
overtraining recovery, you know and you know, this is something that people hire me to walk them through.
