Stage III Adrenal Fatigue (embarassing confession)

Published: Fri, 07/27/12

This email is pretty personal. I'm putting myself out there, but

if it helps just a few people it's worth it.

This past year has been a lot busier for me. As a new father,

I've been adjusting to that while trying to keep up with the

Critical Bench business that is growing like crazy.

I admit it, I enjoy my cup of coffee...or 2 or 3? Ya I get so

much more done and have more energy for family time.

Technically caffeine isn't that dangerous right?

Well it depends. I was throwing down some pre-workout

energy drinks before powerlifting practice as well. Add in

a lack of sleep and now we're looking at a recipe for disaster.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I"m human and make mistakes

too :) I call it a mistake because of some test results I got back.

You see my buddy Elliott was taking a class on Adrenal Fatigue

and needed some students to run tests on. Mine came

back Stage III Adrenal Fatigue! Sounds bad huh?

It's not the end of the world and is easily corrected by cutting

out the stimulants, making some other lifestyle changes and

eating more of a raw diet.

That's why Yuri's Eating for Energy book is hitting home with me.

It's improving my life and if you ever feel like you rely too much

on coffee or energy drinks don't take it as far as I did.

Keep training hard,

Mike Westerdal
