In our last episode, we talked about Adrenal Fatigue / Adrenal Dysfunction and how to test for it. In the next three episodes, we are going to focus on three main types of Adrenal Dysfunction that we see.
Three main types of Adrenal Fatigue:

The Vampire
The Ghost
The Zombie

Adrenal Fatigue is quite real and can seriously impact someone's life. We are not trying to make light of the effect that Adrenal Dysfunction can have. But we find by putting some easily remembered descriptions; this medical condition will resonate with people. And it will be more easily understood.  
Symptoms of the Vampire:

Cannot wake up in the morning: these are the people that press the snooze button a lot. Often Vampires will have several alarms to help them get up in the morning 
They might not be drinking your blood, but will drink a lot of caffeine to get going in the morning. Even with copious amounts of coffee but are still tired.  
Morning and daytime brain fog
Weight gain 
Sugar and carbohydrate cravings mainly in the late afternoon and evening. They will say their diet is perfect during the first half of the day. But come later in the day and evening time, they cannot control the sugar cravings. Even if they are full from dinner, Vampires still find themselves snacking in the evening.
Fatigue: mental and physical fatigue
Cannot sleep at night. These are the people that will lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep. They were so tired in the morning but come evening, wide awake. 
Feels more awake in the evening. This type of commonly seen Adrenal Fatigue will get all their chores done in the evening.   
More energy at night, especially mental energy. This is when they are getting projects, emails done.  

The adrenal glands secrete cortisol in a diurnal curve. In a perfect world, you will see the cortisol being highest in the morning and will slowly decline, being lowest at night.  
With the Vampires, you will see what is called a reverse diurnal curve.' With very low cortisol levels in the morning, it makes it very difficult to wake up in the morning. The cortisol can continue to stay reduced in the afternoon, also causing afternoon fatigue.
Come evening time, cortisol levels rise. This makes it difficult to fall asleep. The rise in cortisol in the evening can disrupt insulin and blood sugar. This can cause sugar and carb cravings, which are almost impossible to resist.
