Treatment Options for HPA Axis Suppression

HPA axis suppression used to be known as adrenal fatigue. But there’s a whole lot more to the condition than just fatigue, and the problem goes beyond your adrenal glands. As more information about how hormones interact with each other has come to light, adrenal fatigue has become known as HPA axis suppression, a term that takes into account the complex relationship between the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenals. HPA axis suppression has common symptoms that affect most sufferers such as feelings of fatigue and food cravings. It can also cause low blood pressure and frequent urination as well as trouble sleeping, mild depression, and a need for extra caffeine.
