Description

Do you feel exhausted during the day but wide awake at night? Struggle with brain fog, sugar cravings, mood swings, or poor sleep—even though your labs say everything's "normal"? You're not imagining it.

In this episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, Dr. Kate Duncan breaks down the real science behind what's commonly called "adrenal fatigue"—known in functional medicine as HPA axis dysfunction. You'll learn how chronic stress, blood sugar crashes, and circadian rhythm disruption can hijack your hormones and energy.

What we cover in this episode:

  • What adrenal fatigue really is (and isn't)

  • Symptoms of HPA axis dysfunction that are often overlooked

  • How blood sugar crashes secretly stress your body

  • The connection between cortisol and sleep

  • 6 evidence-based strategies to reset your HPA axis

  • Foods that support (and sabotage) your adrenal health

  • Why testing matters when lifestyle changes aren't enough

If you're tired of being tired, this episode will help you connect the dots—and take the first steps toward restoring your energy, sleep, and well-being.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to work with your body—not against it.
