🎙️ Episode 16: Adrenal Fatigue Revisited
Mitochondria, Hormones, and the Hidden Energy Battle

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:What your adrenal glands are and what they produceHow your adrenals step in to carry hormone production during perimenopause and postmenopauseWhy mitochondria are your cellular “powerhouses” and what happens when they shift into the cell danger responseThe difference between functional vs. dysfunctional mitochondria—and what each state means for your energyWhy cortisol is both good and badWhy you may feel more exhausted after exerciseWays to restore your fight-or-flight response: blood sugar balance, fat digestion (see Ep.14), and replenishing outlier hormones like pregnenolone, DHEA, and progesterone How poor fat digestion sabotages hormone building blocks, neurotransmitters, and even cell membranes📖 Scripture + Reflection:Matthew 11:28–30 (The Message)“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”✨ Sometimes the exhaustion we feel isn’t just physical—it’s a signal that our bodies and souls are both crying out for true rest.👉 Learn more or get in touch at FireYourDr.com.
