Is adrenal fatigue a real thing? And if so, how would you bounce back from it?
I've only heard a few anecdotes on this. One notable one was from a corrections officer talking about how to exploit it to pacify rowdy inmates, but there are some questions there...
Some say it causes permanent damage, is that true?
It definitely seems plausible to me. When people take steroids, it does a number on the ol' meat & potatoes, and their testes & testosterone never really recovers. If your body is constantly in a surplus of a hormone, it tends to lower production or sensitivity to it to bring itself back to an equilibrium. I wonder if there's a point of no return in all cases, not just with roids.
Since adrenal fatigue and testicular atrophy from steroid use are all of the hormonal system, I also wonder by extension what kind of effects taking melatonin has on the pineal gland. If you used melatonin supplementation, intermittently or otherwise, would that cause atrophy or damage to the pineal gland? And could you bounce back from that?
Would love to hear some thoughts on this.
