Dr. Lam's Journey with Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome

[@sacred6334]

Adrenal fatigue is so scary. It's awesome that Dr. Lam is fully recovered, happy, and helping others. I too have recovered and a lot of your families advice helped me. Thanks so much! 😁

[@drlam]

Glad to hear!

[@AM-nx2vm]

Doreen is my coach and I am doing much better since I met Dr. Lam and his family.

[@MaxHarden]

I took 2mg clonazepam for 10 years and quit 1 year ago. It’s been so scary and painful and full of fear. Then I read your article describing exactly what I was experiencing. I tapered in only 6 weeks from 2 to 0.25mg and then used medicinal marijuana for the withdrawal, and it didn’t help. It was painful with cardiac problems, then I became ticklish after 10 days. I was physically numb from benzos. And my heart would idle at 85bpm at rest, now it idles about 65bpm. My heart rate variability has improved dramatically. My gray hair has turned dark again. I have less anxiety than every, even tho some days I have full inflammation and pressure in my head and all the bad AFS problems, it improves and turns out this was all “normal”. The fearfulness was the worst, thank you doctor.

[@DarlisaBlack]

I am impressed with your enthusiasm, family commitment and desire to help others. Thank you!

[@Ian-vh1pd]

These guys are the best in the business. Highly recommended!

[@drlam]

Thank you so much for the recommendation! Appreciate your kind words.

[@rhyannjoedan]

Thanks for this Dr Lam. God bless u

[@otruwarrioro]

Wow , carrie is gorgeous. Great video , great info. Thanks.

[@jackbritt7833]

This is amazing that you share what you went through and the remedy. I always feel like my best days are when I work hard and am productive and go to bed exhausted and eventually it catches up with me. I found your channel researching vitamins and subscribed. It is great to learn. Thank you Dr Lam. God bless you and your family.

[@drlam]

I'm glad you're learning! We're always here to help

[@elizabethdavis2877]

I enjoy listening to him and her

[@kavmvnofficial]

Dr lam, im glad to have joined ur protocols. How long were you bedridden. If I may ask? And what we’re some things you did to keep busy?

[@drlam]

I was bedridden for around 3 months, but took me around 6 months to recover. I did breathing exercises the most and prayed.

[@miamisammy4020]

I just started going to Dr. Lam's clinic. I'm very hopeful to pull out of this fatigue syndrome and find recovery.

[@drlam]

Yes i hope so too!

[@TRyanBenoitMusic]

How did you fair?

[@devinpeirce7152]

I'm pretty much bed ridden at this point

[@AM-nx2vm]

You will get better. Hang in there.

[@Bubblesandcandyfloss]

Been there. It will get better

[@designerxyz]

Me too since last 8 years sometimes gets a little better but mostly not.

[@mofrekinfoe]

So is it adrenal fatigue or HPA axis dysregulation?

[@drlam]

Currently we believe it's actually a NeuroEndoMetabolic Stress response. read this article for more information: "NEM Symptoms of stress www.drlamcoaching.com/nem-therapy/general/neuroendometabolic-symptoms-of-stress/"

[@mofrekinfoe]

@@drlam I actually came across HPA axis dysregulation looking for any kind of help to improve from feelings of depersonalization/derealization.

[@drlam]

Appreciate this video so so much

Thank you

[@roydonswan7001]

Wow that's a big help

[@ianpearson8976]

I have battled this for long time. I bought some of your books on the subject recently and it put everything in perspective. Your book "central nervous system disruptions and adrenal fatigue syndrome" almost exactly matches all my issues', tested myself several yrs ago which showed low morning levels of cortisol. I self medicated with hydrocortisone as didn't think doctors would be interested. I tried usually 5mg tablet split into quarter in the a.m,1.25mg and 1.25mg at lunch. This brought many benefits, few negatives. Ive been trying this on and off for many yrs and also tried prednisone. The main symptoms seem to be insomnia and difficulty to have the energy to work 12.5 hour shift work also irritability and mood swings. Recently palpitations of the heart.

[@drlam]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you've been through a lot with adrenal fatigue syndrome. It's great to hear that you found some relief through self-care strategies. Remember to continue listening to your body and adjusting your approach as needed. We are here for you if you need.

[@kimw.4136]

Thanks so much, I have learned so many things since I found your videos last year. Certainly nice to know if at anytime I need help Dr. Lam is a phone call or email away.

[@CC-lq3ie]

thanks to share I think with the pressure people put on themselves these days this will be an increasing condition 😕

[@plf177]

APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WISDOM Dr. Lam‼️ Thank you for sacrificing your life & time to helping us who have dealt with this very same issue! God’s continued blessings upon you, your whole family, and the Lam Clinic!

[@drlam]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@tron3652]

Have you heard anything about grounding technique and will it aid recovering

[@drlam]

yes those are great!

[@777INFP]

Dr.Lam I seen an article about cbs up-regulation and adrenal fatigue. It would be great if you could make a video on this issue. I am struggling with this right now and my nutritionist wants me to take liposomal glutathione, samE, hcl, and milk thistle. I already tried the milk thistle tea and had a bad reaction. Pain in-between the shoulder blades and neck and even hives.

[@drlam]

In addition to CBS up-regulation you might also have underlying liver or Extracellular membrane congestion that makes you so sensitive to detox. We will definitely think about making a video about that topic! Thanks for the suggestion. www.drlamcoaching.com/adrenal-fatigue/concepts/extracellular-matrix/

[@sharonempson6789]

Dr. Lam, on one of your videos you mentioned that when you tried eating vegan, it was fine for awhile but then you found it wasnt for you. I have adrenal fatigue and have a good dr who has helped me. But she hasnt had adrenal fatigue. Since you are a fellow sufferer and someone who tried a vegan diet, i was wondering what happened to you that told you the vegan diet wasnt for you. I am currently on the vegan diet as an adrenal fatigue sufferer and would like your input on your experience as an adrenal fatigue sufferer and the vegan diet. Thank you dr lam you have helped me so much. Sharon California

[@AM-nx2vm]

You need to eat a lot of protein, chicken, fish, turkey.

[@awarewolf2685]

I would agree, although Dr. Lam says that eating too much zinc can stimulate the adrenals

[@dallihilmi]

Maybe you had hypothyroidism maybe serum negative hashimoto. Did you exclude it

[@drlam]

That’s a good point! Hypothyroidism or serum-negative Hashimoto’s could contribute to similar symptoms. It’s important to consider a full health evaluation to rule them out.

[@AshleyB_]

Can you still exercise with AF? I still workout 2-3 days a week 60 minutes. It helps me sleep better.

[@drlam]

It depends on what stage of AFS you're in. If you're in later stages we suggest you don't overexert yourself but do more gentler exercises. However, at earlier stages of AFS, your body can probably tolerate exercise a little more.

[@AshleyB_]

Dr. Lam Coaching thank you if I’m not feeling it usually I just won’t exercise.

[@AshleyB_]

Is it ok to take Glutathione and vitamin C I don’t want to lighten my skin. I know many people take it for that reason I just want to support myself in my AF journey? Thanks

[@drlam]

@@AshleyB_ Glutathione and vitamin C are highly beneficial if taken at the right time for adrenal fatigue recovery.

[@samanthaketterer3064]

At what times should you take them Dr?

[@julieparker4052]

OMG I need this doctor. I am exhausted 24.7

[@sacred6334]

If you think you might not be getting enough vitamin c I 100% recommend trying it. Fatigue can often be the result of an overactive stress response which isn't being supported properly and it just so happens vitamin c is absolutely vital to support your bodies stress response. Hope you feel better soon. 😊

[@erikadolores1776]

Dr lam what stage adrenal fatigue were you in ?

[@drlam]

Went through all the stages, that's why I know about them so closely!

[@Bubblesandcandyfloss]

It does. My endocrinologist gave my steroids for it. He had it himself.

[@meekellassidddiq4608]

You better believe it does. Doctors cannot help get to the core of this.

[@Eldir13]

My problem is that I can't do tiring things, otherwise I'm ok and I have a lot of energy and I sleep well but if I do something tiring I'm on the verge of a crash... any ideas please i m desperate

[@awarewolf2685]

Should I avoid green tea in my adrenal fatigue recovery? I don’t feel stimulated until after about 3 cups. 1-2 cups I feel fine

[@drlam]

Green tea can also be stimulating your adrenals to work harder. In general you want to stay away from caffeine as it's too stimulating. Even though green tea does have good properties to it

[@awarewolf2685]

Okay. Thanks. What about eggs? A lot of people with adrenal fatigue seem to cut out eggs

[@drlam]

@@awarewolf2685 It just depends on whether you have a sensitivity to eggs or not. Every person is different.

[@awarewolf2685]

Dr. Lam Coaching One last question: how about sparkling water, containing carbonic acid? Thanks

[@drlam]

@@awarewolf2685 If you find that it encourages you to drink water, then it can be good, however beware of artificial sweeteners.

[@velocityrr]

.. I start Core Training tomorrow! How did it backfire for you? I'm starting to.suspect adrenal fatigue for my constipation.. the cause I think is from intense Virtual Reality action games. After or mid game I always have to urinate like mad. PLEASE ADViSE, Thank you.

[@drlam]

Balance VR gaming intensity with relaxation to support adrenal health. Stay hydrated and mindful during play. Wishing you wellness on your journey!

[@chrisbravo3392]

hello doctor, I have noticed that I get this weird sensation of shortness of breath after I work out. I noticed that if I don't work out for a while, this shortness of breath goes away. However, when I return, it comes back immediately. It's almost as if I can't take full breaths of air for the rest of the day after working out. I been to the doctor and my lab results all came in normal. Oxygen saturation is normal. I can't help but to think this has something to do with adrenal fatigue. I am also taking ashwaghanda and have no idea if this is making it worse. Does this sound like adrenal fatigue?

[@drlam]

You have some symptoms that overlap, but we will need more information. Call my office 626-571-1234 so we can get better history.

What stage of adrenal fatigue is rapid weight gain? 🥲 I over did it for about 6-7 years, 2019 was so stressful including a miscarriage. After miscarriage, My thyroid and hormones went crazy. The more I exercise, the fatter I get

[@drlam]

When your body is stressed, it will want to put on weight and not let go unless you address the hormone imbalance or underlying stress response and adrenal fatigue. "Weight Loss and Adrenal Fatigue www.drlamcoaching.com/diet/adrenal-fatigue-diet/weight-loss-challenges/"
