The question I want to answer is this: can adrenal fatigue cause you to gain weight?  The first thing you need to know is that the medical profession does not acknowledge adrenal fatigue as a medical problem. They just don't recognize it. There's a condition called Cushing's syndrome, which is characterized by high cortisol or hypercortisolism. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, and the adrenal glands are responsible for creating it.  The thing is, you don't just wake up with this Cushing's. It gradually starts and gets worse it worse. The starting point is adrenal fatigue—the same way that prediabetes happens before type II diabetes.  With a full-blown Cushing's syndrome case, you can see these symptoms: • Visceral fat • High blood pressure • Round face • Red cheeks • Fatigue • Anxiety • Buffalo hump • Fat-collar bone • Thin skin • Decreased libido • Hypokalemia • Low vitamin D • Insomnia However, people with adrenal fatigue can also experience these symptoms, but they may not be quite as severe.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
