# 526 - Is adrenal fatigue a scam ?

Are you being misled about the subject of 'adrenal fatigue' ? in recent years various wellness influencers have pushed the notion that adrenal fatigue is a real condition with symptoms such as tiredness, brain fog and cravings for salty foods. The problem is the mainstream medical community don't recognise adrenal fatigue as a legitimate medical condition. Adrenal insufficiency is however a well documented and serious disorder but this should not be confused with adrenal fatigue. In this episode we examine what the adrenal glands actually are, the HPA axis, and role that the stress hormones cortisol plays.
