Overview

Adrenal fatigue, also known as hypoadrenia, is a disorder where adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones and become exhausted. This disorder is not as bad as adrenal insufficiency, but can still cause a person to become exhausted., and can affect the sex drive. Using a few simple methods, you can significantly decrease adrenal fatigue and make your sex life better.

Step 1

Take steps to get any unnecessary stress out of your life. If you are unable to get rid of undue stress, the chances of increasing your sex drive and decreasing your adrenal fatigue are low. If there are people who take away your positive energy, try your best to avoid them. Also, take time each day to do something that relaxes you. This can be anything from yoga to just sitting in a quiet room for a few minutes. Removing undue stress is the most important step you can take.

Step 2

Start timing your meals better. Cortisol (a low-grade adrenaline) peaks when you wake up in the morning, around 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and right before you go to sleep. These are the times you should be consuming nutrients. If you do not consume the correct nutrients during this time, your cortisol will peak and seriously wear you out.

Step 3

Increase protein and carbohydrate intake. An increase in protein intake will only be effective if you increase carbs as well. Most of your carbs should come from vegetables and rice when first starting out your new diet. You should simultaneously limit sugar intake. Add fruit to your diet. Four to 6 weeks after starting your new diet, you can add oatmeal and yams to your diet to increase carb intake. It is very important to eventually eliminate sugars from your diet.

Step 4

Start taking supplements such as omega-3 fats, vitamin B, magnesium and zinc.

Step 5

Start taking adaptogenic herbs as well. Licorice root, ginseng and rhodiola rosea will help your body deal with stress. Avoid ehedra, caffeine and yohimbine.

Step 6

Start a workout regimen, or change the one you currently have. Keep heavy training days separated by 3 days (at the least). Taking 2 days off followed by a light day of working out should follow a heavy day. Do not use high intensity workouts (i.e. drop sets, max-outs). Try to train your full body daily. Remember to decrease how much you workout (bench, leg press) on your light days. Limit aerobic workouts to two to three times per week.

TIPS AND WARNINGS

• TIP : Check with your doctor before beginning a new training regimen or diet.
• WARNING : If your fatigue increases, you should see a doctor.
