Adrenal Fatigue / HPA Axis Dysregulation
Adrenal fatigue and HPA axis dysregulation are terms often used to describe how prolonged stress affects the body’s stress-response systems. Many people experience symptoms such as low energy, difficulty handling stress, disrupted sleep, or feeling “wired but tired.” While conventional care may approach these symptoms differently, holistic and integrative support often focuses on restoring balance to stress responses and supporting recovery. This page explores non-diagnostic approaches to stress-related energy dysregulation.
What This Condition Often Feels Like

- Difficulty waking up or feeling alert
- Feeling overstimulated yet exhausted

- Sleep disturbances or restlessness
When Conventional Care Isn’t Enough
Many people exploring adrenal or HPA axis support feel their symptoms aren’t reflected clearly in standard testing. Holistic approaches can complement other care by addressing stress load, nervous system regulation, lifestyle patterns, and recovery capacity.
