However, problems can happen when there is an abundance of toxins ingested or absorbed resulting in our bodies working overtime to secrete them. When they cannot find the means to secrete them properly, the toxins become absorbed and trapped in our bodies causing us to experience illness and chronic conditions.

Toxins in your body can lead to a number of health issues and complications. When our bodies experience toxin accumulation, you can begin to notice it with signs of the following.

Skin Issues

Acne, eczema, and psoriasis are all common conditions of an overload of toxins in your body. They are usually related to your diet or products that you place on your skin. These conditions are a strong indication that your level of toxicity has reached its highest capacity.

Chronic Fatigue

When you feel constantly tired, it is a result of your body telling you that it has been overworked. It is working too hard to fight off the toxins and now you are feeling tired more frequently, even with adequate amounts of sleep. These toxins can be affecting your immune system that causes you to constantly feel tired.

Fat and Weight Gain

No matter how much you exercise or control your diet, your body is still so stubborn at losing excess weight. What is worse is that you may experience even more weight gain. This can be a result of a hormonal imbalance. Your hormones become out of whack when they are invaded by toxins in your diet and products you use.

Muscle Pain and Soreness

There is a difference between experiencing muscles soreness from a workout and from one that comes from toxicity in your body. Soreness from a workout can be eased through stretching and time. Soreness or pain from toxicity can be at random and happen chronically without alleviation from stretching.

Smell Sensitivities

Many of us are sensitive to particular smells due in large part to the chemicals that are in those fragrances. However, if you begin to experience headaches and/or stomach pain with smelling those fragrances, it can mean that your body is currently experiencing a toxin overload.

Constipation and Irregular Bowel Movements

Our digestive tract is supposed to work at getting rid of toxins in our stomach and intestines. When too many toxins become present, it can cause irritability, headaches, and fatigue. This can cause your body to feel constipated and pose issues with your bowel movements. You might also become constipated because of a poor diet consisting of processed and fried foods, which are much more difficult for your body to digest and absorb.

In order to get rid of the toxins in our bodies, we have to do our best to keep them out in the first place. You will want to eat a well-balanced, healthy diet that consists of real and mostly organic foods. Non-organic foods are usually laden with toxic pesticides. Exercise regularly to help your body sweat out the toxins and get your heart pumping to build up strength. Remember to stay hydrated as water will help to flush out toxins from your body and be mindful of your stress levels. Find different ways to reduce stress so that it cannot negatively impact and foster toxicity.

Money for retirement. Money for food. Money for caffeine because there’s no way you’ll be able to get through work if you don’t have it. And then you bust your butt at the gym because you need to lose weight so you can look better and live longer. If you’ve got kids, you’ve got even less time, so you’re probably more dependent on caffeine.

It’s a lot to do and it doesn’t fit too well in our 24 hour days. (Note: I haven’t even talked about sleeping!)

All this – and more – make be the real reason you’re so tired all the time. It’s called adrenal fatigue and it’s becoming increasingly prevalent.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

We’ve become a lot better at naming diseases. Kind of. It’s almost exactly what it sounds like. Your adrenals are overworked, but your adrenals aren’t tired. Your body is.

You already know that your adrenal glands secrete adrenaline whenever they perceive a threat. It doesn’t have to be a serious threat though.

It can be simple stuff:

• The volume on your alarm clock is set to 11 and scares you into waking up every morning
• You’re terrified your boss is going to fire you
• You’re worried about your kids
• You’re worried because your parents are getting old
• Some guy just cut you off and nearly hit you
• That jerk stole the last piece of cake
• Someone ordered an overly complicated coffee right in front of you

But it’s not just stuff like that. If you’re into HIIT (high intensity interval training) or lifting heavy weights all the time – that can affect your adrenals and your recovery too.

Every time you put your body through a perceived threat, your adrenals tell certain body systems to shut down and puts others on high alert. Everything is prepped and ready for you to get away from that man-eating tiger as quickly as possible. So you get faster, stronger, you can see better…everything you would need to survive in the short term.

However, your long term survival systems get shut down. Your body stops repairing itself. And if you keep stressing your body and mind and keep working out as hard as you can every single day, you’ll never fully recover.

Often the first signs of adrenal fatigue are chronic fatigue, terrible mood, increasing pain, and irritability. It can also be the reason why you’re having trouble losing weight and can be at the root of heart disease, mental health issues, and early memory problems.

So What Should You Do?

The first key to recovering from adrenal fatigue is taking time out to recover. So if you’re doing HIIT, take a rest day the next day. Or, if you really want to exercise, just go for a walk. Your body will love you for it and you’ll see even better results in the gym. Here’s an odd fact: when your body is fully recovered, it’ll be able to do more.

But if you’re chronically stressed, here are some other simple things you can do:

• Talk a walk in nature
• Tai chi
• Meditate
• Garden – My personal favorite
• Yoga
• Keep a journal

I didn’t throw “take a vacation” on here or “weekend getaway” because whatever you decide to do, it should be something you can do every day. You may be able to refresh your body while you’re on a trip, but you’ll soon find yourself exactly where you at before. No matter what you do, just keep at it. It will get better.
