hey, it's me again. i want to create a video on how to test yourselffor adrenal fatigue. again, this is not the definitive diagnosisfor adrenal diseases. i'm just teaching you this so you can getsome clues and maybe some potential weaknesses within your adrenals, but you go to your doctorto confirm it, okay? that said there are several symptoms thatgo along with the adrenal function. you can't get to sleep easily. maybe you're exhausted at 9:00 and if youdon't go to bed between 9:00 and 10:00 and you miss that cut off you start waking upand now you really can't get to sleep, maybe

11:00 or 12:00 and you're just wired. and now it takes 90 minutes because you missedthe wave. then you might get up at 2:00. you might wake up feeling exhausted. those are symptoms of the adrenal. you're tired in the day, especially an hourafter lunch you're exhausted, you need a nap. yet at 2:00 in the morning you're very wideawake. achy. you can call that whatever you want.

you can it plantar fasciitis. that's inflammation of the feet. you can call it fibromyalgia. all that means is you're running out of theanti-inflammatory hormones and your whole body is achy. brain fog, hard to focus, non sequitur, yougo in a room, can't remember why you went in there. it's just not clear. you're reading a book.

it doesn't really go in. low tolerance. people are starting to get on your nerves. you're edgy. you go into a room and you see something outof order and your attention focuses in on only that and not the rest of the room. breathing issues. that has to do with two things, number one,going up the stairs, a flight of stairs and your legs are getting heavier.

or at night you can't get enough air. that's a symptom of adrenal because your phis actually too alkaline, not too acidic, and that you're having breathing problems. sinus, the sinus does get congested with adrenal. that's one thing. you get allergies as well. decreased libido is adrenal. lastly, dizzy when you stand up. let's pretend that you're laying down likethat on a table and then you lay for about

three or four minutes and you take your bloodpressure. then you stand up and take the blood pressure. that is the test to measure adrenal function. it is called the ragland's test. basically you just check your blood pressurelying down. wait, just relax for a few minutes, and thenstand up and check your blood pressure. now normal blood pressure is 120 over 80. let's say it's 120 over 80 and when you standup this blood pressure, the top number, that's called the systolic, that should go up by6 to 10 points normally.

with adrenal fatigue it will go down or itgoes excessively too high. it's really a simple way to determine yourability to adapt to gravity stress. now that's how you do the test, but here'sthe thing. let's get to the purpose of the adrenal andyour adrenal gland. your adrenal gland is the survival gland. it actually helps you cope with stress andhelps you adapt your body to stress. standing up is a little bit of gravity stressand your body will then adapt and raise the blood pressure to adapt for that positionchange. because if you did not adapt to that gravitystress there won't be enough blood flow in

your brain and you will pass out. thus, the symptom of dizzy when you standup too fast. you get that? that's a good way to see if your body is adapting. another way you could run up the stairs, andif you get out of breath too fast from a little run up the stairs we know that's an adrenalissue or heavy legs. some people will get up too fast and theycan even pass out. that's an injury and a weakness. because what happens, the adrenal gland hasan outside.

this is all gland tissue, and they're bothon the kidneys. and it has an inside. the adrenal gland is the only gland that hastwo parts, an inside and an outside. the outside is all gland tissue, produceshormones. but the inside is all nerve tissue. i don't know if you knew that. so it's all nerve tissue in there. it has a kind of a double thing. the nerve tissue inside the adrenal produceshormone-like messages and they're called neurotransmitters.

adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin, dopamine,gaba, those are all neurotransmitters and adrenaline is a stress hormone. adrenaline is there to help neurologicallyactivate certain things, like if you being chased by a tiger the artery has to open upto the heart, the lung has to open up. i mean think about it. they�ll even give people an epipen, epinephrineto help them breathe if they have an allergy. they�ll even inject the heart with adrenalineto open up the blood flow. in other words, this tissue on the insideis part of the adrenal system, of the stress response.

it gets your body to adapt to stress. if you wanted to know the name of that nervoussystem, i�ll just give it to you. it�s called the sympathetic nervous system. another name for the sympathetic nervous systemis the flight or fight mode. you probably heard that tossed around buti want to explain what that means a little bit more. if you see a lion in the wilderness chasea zebra, the lion is attacking. he's fighting the zebra. the zebra is flighting, is running away.

they're both experiencing flight or fight. it just depends on what end of the spectrum. the lion is looking for supper and the zebrais looking to avoid being supper, and so it's both a stressful situation. one, is a starving situation. �if i don't eat that animal, i'm going tobe � i'm going to die.� it's a survival thing. zebra, �if i get eaten, i won't survive.�that's what flight or fight means. we all have this system inside our body.

but we're not being chased by tigers. what we're being stressed out is the news,the media, other people, threatened financial disasters, threatened stresses, losses, physicaltrauma. you have a lot of other stresses, worry, thattype of thing. that type of stress is equivalent to physicaltrauma. basically in a thumbnail sketch if you�resuspecting that your adrenals are fatigued, you can simply just check. one test you can just basically check theblood pressure lying and standing, and seeing if this blood pressure goes up 6 to 10 points.

if it doesn't, then we know there's some weaknesswithin that system. there's a lot of videos i have on what youdo about adrenal fatigue. but i wanted to explain just a way to testit. now in this next part i want to show you onemore part or one more thing that happens with adrenal and a very simple thing you can doto help with adrenal fatigue. one of the problems with a burnt-out adrenalis that you start excessively thinking and analyzing everything. let me demonstrate. �oh my god, how many calories is this?

gosh, my wife is really irritating me. john at work, he is just really somethingelse. my videographer, he�s taking way too long.� when you're doing this excessive thinkingi know it's hard to turn it off, but really you have to realize what's happening. you're losing or you lost your space. the best thing, the easiest thing that youcan do when you're stressed out is create space. what do you do?

you get outside, go for a walk, go for a hike,get out there and just get your attention on something else. do it for an hour. do it for longer. it's very therapeutic to add more space. because what that will do, that will chillout the adrenals, allow you to heal better, versus going into the gym behind the treadmilland trying to watch that tv screen right there. yeah, you worked out, but you didn't get anymore space.

bodybuilding diet kidneys,you really have to balance out the entireday of activities for something that will

just get your attention going way out there,all right? hope that helps. i�ll see you in the next video.
