Hi Jess,

Your doctor can prescribe Dr. Wilson’s Adrenal Fatigue Program supplements to greatly assist with your fatigue. You doctor may not understand this concept, as he or she is unlikely to have studied it at medical school, but your naturopathic doctor will certainly know about it. I’d recommend you contact Dr. Wilson’s office on this link http://www.adrenalfatigue.org and ask for a referral to a doctor who knows this program, there are plenty in the USA.

Kindest Regards,

Eric Bakker ND

I would like to know if a doctor can prescribe medicine to help get rid of adrenal fatigue or do you need to take the vitamins - Rhodiola rosea, liquorice and korean ginseng, as well as reducing stress? Is this the only way to treat it?

Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for the positive feedback. Keep posted, there will be many more articles appearing, as well as recipes I have planned to upload to this website as well. I want this website to become one of the best around for stress, fatigue and what to do about it. It is all about education and empowerment of the people. Dr. Wilson is very passionate about improving people’s lives, that is why he spent so much time carefully developing his programme, and there are 41 pages devoted on the topic of diet and nutrition in his book on adrenal fatigue.

I am really glad someone else is taking on the issue of meal timing and AF. I have been trying to talk to my doctor about this, but I think she thinks I am crazy when I bring it up!

Hi Denis,
It is great that you have worked out basically what works and what does not work for you in your diet. Diabetes can be very successfully managed like most blood-sugar problems. I find it harder to manage a patient’s desires and cravings. Type 1 diabetics (IDDM) always feel better for smaller, more frequent protein rich meals and less (better still - NO) alcohol. Shiftworking with Type 1 diabetes can be a real challenge as you may interfere with your body’s natural cortisol cycles. You should be fine with the afternoon shift, but be sure to get ample sleep!

It is good to see someone write what I have found from experience.
Having long term Type 1 Diabetes as well helps force me to eat “better”.
But it is still hard to replace a quick savory scone from the cafe with my morning coffee. With a decent salad or cooked vegetables and the nesecary carbs & protein.
I work mainly afternoon shifts so rely on a cooked lunch, then a sandwich for dinner.
