on zoom
🧾 About the Event:
Discover how Functional Medicine principles are applied in real patient cases where adrenal fatigue presents through subtle yet impactful symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, and hormonal imbalance. This focused session is designed for practitioners, nutritionists, and healthcare professionals seeking practical tools to detect early adrenal dysfunction, understand compensatory stress patterns, and support patients in restoring resilience before it progresses to more severe endocrine or chronic conditions.

🌿 Understanding Adrenal Fatigue: When Stress Overwhelms the Body
The adrenal glands play a vital role in regulating energy, stress response, hormones, and resilience. However, early signs of adrenal fatigue are often overlooked—especially when standard lab results appear within the normal range.
Modern lifestyle stressors such as chronic psychological stress, poor sleep, overwork, stimulants, inflammation, infections, and toxin exposure silently deplete the adrenals long before full-blown endocrine disorders appear.
In the Functional Medicine approach, we go beyond routine tests to uncover the hidden patterns and root causes of adrenal fatigue. Key areas include:
✅ Cortisol rhythm & stress response — assessing imbalances in morning energy, mid-day slumps, and nighttime awakenings
✅ Blood sugar & energy fluctuations — unstable glucose can worsen adrenal stress
✅ Mitochondrial function & cellular energy — weak energy production places more demand on the adrenals
✅ Inflammation & gut health — chronic stress on the immune and digestive system taxes adrenal resilience
✅ Environmental toxins & endocrine disruptors — hidden burdens that keep stress pathways overactive
A personalized plan in Functional Medicine involves targeted nutrition, adaptogens, stress management, movement, sleep optimization, and root cause correction — aiming not just to relieve fatigue, but to restore energy, balance, and long-term resilience.
What you will Learn:
✅ Understanding how adrenal fatigue can exist even when standard lab results appear “normal”
✅ Key lab markers and clinical clues beyond cortisol blood tests (salivary cortisol rhythm, DHEA, ACTH, thyroid-adrenal interactions & more)
✅ Using the Functional Medicine Matrix for personalized stress and energy assessment
✅ Nutritional, lifestyle, and supplement strategies to restore adrenal resilience and balance
✅ Real patient case study: before-and-after insights using functional interventions
Who Should Attend:
✅ Functional Medicine Practitioners
✅ Clinical Nutritionists
✅ Wellness Coaches
✅ Health Professionals
✅ Students of Integrative Health
