How is adrenal fatigue treated?
Treatment is based on the level of severity, as determined by the results of blood and salivary testing and the evaluation of the physician. Mild adrenal insufficiency may be treated with supplements, while moderate adrenal fatigue may involve the removal of substances that cause allergies, and treating the illness or disease processes that are associated with the adrenal fatigue. In more severe cases, an aggressive supplement program, hormone replacement, and lifestyle modifications may be necessary. Mild adrenal fatigue usually responds to treatment within days to weeks, with noticeable differences in energy levels often in the first week. In moderate adrenal fatigue, differences in energy levels are generally noted within six to eight weeks. Severe adrenal fatigue may require a treatment program of six months to two years, with symptoms usually improving in two-three months.
