Do you feel irritable at the smallest things, or you snap really easily?

Feel like you don't have the patience you once used and maybe you're reacting to things that you haven't reacted to before.

So one of the biggest things that I hear from women in my community is that they lose patience really easily, either at their staff or coworkers, when they come through the door after work they're kind of snapping at their kids even though they love their kids, but they feel like they don't have that patience and that tolerance anymore.

They are reacting to things which they wouldn't normally react to, so if this is you there's a surprising link between irritability and adrenal fatigue.

So with adrenal fatigue, what's happened is that there's been prolonged stress on the body which causes an imbalance in our hormones and once that imbalance occurs we find it really hard to cope with stress or change in our day to day life.

So, what's actually happening there is that with adrenal fatigue we have low cortisol levels, and cortisol is a hormone which helps us to adapt to our stress.

In the early stages of adrenal fatigue, we can feel irritable because there is higher amounts of cortisol in the system, so we can feel more anxious and therefore more irritable, and as it's left untreated, so we get to the later stages of adrenal fatigue we still feel irritable because we don't have enough cortisol to help us to adapt to stress.

So we'll get things like road rage, we get impatient waiting in the line at the supermarket, we could get annoyed with being on hold with customer service, we can start to get hangry, do you know when you get angry when you're hungry. All those little signs start to pop up when there is an imbalance in the body, particularly with adrenal fatigue.

So one of the best ways to kind of change this in the short term is doing things like when you're feeling irritable, take yourself away from the situation and just do some breathing exercises where you're really just focusing on your breath.

So that's been shown to really slow down and relax the nervous system. So quite often when we're anxious and irritable, our nervous system is in overdrive. So there's definitely that that you can do, the breathing exercises to slow down that irritability and that adrenal response.

The second thing which I'd really suggest is to, because irritability is a way of your body telling you that there is a physical and chemical imbalance, so that needs to be addressed.

So whether you're doing things to address your hormonal imbalances, whether you're currently doing an adrenal reset plan. If not, I'd strongly urge you to do that.

Doing things like including mediation and yoga into your day to day or weekly routine is another great way to relax your nervous system.

Now, if you already know that this could be a possibility for you that you have adrenal fatigue, you don't know what to do about it, maybe you've tried all the right things before and you haven't got the results that you want.
