b'In this episode of the Progress Your Health Podcast, we continue explaining the three main types of Adrenal Fatigue/Dysfunction that we see often. Here is a quick recap:\\xa0\\n\\nVampire (episode 68): High cortisol at night and low cortisol in the morning. Hard to fall asleep and very difficult to wake in the morning. Weight gain and evening carb and sugar cravings. Feel much better in the evening and will refer to themselves as a night person.'\\nGhost (episode 69): Cortisol is very low in the afternoon and early evening. This is why they fall asleep so easily, but there is a lot of difficulty staying asleep through the night. The Ghost is broken up into two subtypes: the Ghoul and the Poltergeist.\\n\\nGhoul: The cortisol is low in the afternoon and evening. They fall asleep so easily. But come 2 am the cortisol rises for hours. The cortisol will drop a touch, so they fall back asleep after two hours. But it remains elevated until noontime where the cortisol will dive, along with their energy.\\nPoltergeist: The cortisol is low in the afternoon and evening (like the Ghoul). And come 2 am the cortisol rises. But the difference here is the cortisol will rise and fall all night long. That is why these people wake up numerous times in the night. Like the Ghoul, the Poltergeist will have good morning energy but will crash come afternoon.\\n\\n\\n\\nIn this episode, we go on to explain the third type of Adrenal Dysfunction that we have encountered with our patients, the Zombie. The Zombie has low cortisol all day and night. It is not Addison's disease. But due to the lower levels of cortisol, the Zombie is tired all day and night. They have no trouble falling asleep. They are the people that will easily sleep 8 to 10 or more hours but not feel rested when they wake up.\\xa0\\nZombies report that they could sleep all day long. They have a lot of physical fatigue and cannot exercise. If they tried to exercise, they are wiped out for the rest of the day. And it can take them days to recover after intense exercise. They do crave sugar and carbs. In some ways, it gives them a little short-lived energy to eat sugar, soda, or refined carbohydrates. Not only are they physically tired, but they are also mentally tired and comment that they have a lot of brain fog. It is hard to focus and finish a project, and Zombie's report that they have no short term memory.\\xa0\\nAs we mentioned in the podcast, we wanted to give you some tools that can help. Some options that include nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, and prescription medication that can help a Zombie type Adrenal Dysfunction.
