One of the very common complaints that people with adrenal fatigue deal with is that they have a sense of feeling better when they first exercise, and then after they stop exercising things get worse.

This is Dr. Lam, founder of DrLam.com. In our approach to dealing with people with adrenal fatigue, this is a very common complaint, so what is really going on? When you exercise, several things are happening to your body. One of the most important things is the release of adrenaline in order for you to do aerobic exercises, for example. You are not going to be able to stand up and run without an output of norepinephrine, as well as epinephrine also called adrenaline. So many people feel wonderful, they feel great during the exercise high. Why? Because the adrenaline is helping their heart pump, they're increasing oxygenation, they basically don't have the fatigue because the adrenaline is taking over as a large result, and the adrenaline is driving the body.

Now, after the exercise is finished, whether it was an intense bike trip or intense weight lifting, then there is no more release of the adrenaline to the degree that is necessary, so the adrenaline starts to burn off. Now, this may take a few hours, so initially you feel okay, but starting 2-3 hours or even a half an hour after the exercise a gradual onset of fatigue will come on.

This fatigue actually represents the body's inability to sustain itself after the adrenaline has burnt off because the sustaining is not a real energy by the body, it is artificially being propped up by the temporary release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. So once the support is not there, then the body basically kind of collapses, and people feel very, very drained. It can take up to 3 or 4 days to recoup from this slump, so to say.

So, a healthy person would be able to exercise, feel good, and continue to feel strong immediately as well as 4 to 6 hours after the exercise. People with adrenal fatigue tend to either be unable to tolerate exercise because they feel fatigued right away, or they feel exercise is okay, but then they have a slump after the exercise.

So this is quite classic of this phenomena; knowing what is going on physiologically, with this adrenaline will help you understand that this is a normal physiological response. It is the body's way of telling you that your body is running on the reserve. The reserve is driven by adrenaline, it is not driven by your body's natural response. This is important because if you don't understand and accept that fact, then you will always be on the lookout for more energy, and you will deny that the slump is a good thing for you and is the designed by your body to help you rest. Instead, what you do, is you take coffee, energy drinks, to then prop up the body again because you want to feel energized and you're not accepting the fact that low energy is the body's way of telling you to relax.

Well, you can do it once in a while, but if you keep doing it for a long time, then you will get into another set of problems where you overexercise in order to get adrenaline. Then when the adrenaline runs off, you prop it back up with artificial stimulants, and this type of cycle will set up in a vicious way, and you will get more and more tired and more and more fatigued until such time that many people actually crash because when they crash after exercise, no matter what kind of stimulants you throw in, they will not work because the body is in control and the body will tell you it doesn't want more. By that time, one could be housebound, you don't want to do that, you don't want to be there, you want to be able to recognize very early when you have problems after exercise.
