It's sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic, it's a much easier starting point!

They talk about not enough Cortisol but what about too much? I thought that’s what causes Adrenal Fatigue. I get it’s a misnomer, but clearly too much Cortisol is a concern too Right?

Apparently the word fatigue is needed in the medical world for a very specific job or jobs. The don’t want it applied to adrenal glands because of this need. Ok then, medical community, please help us with lower levels of cortisol BEFORE we are “in crisis “.

They need to mention that certain medications for other things can cause cortisol to go up and or down.
