Signs You’re in Stage 3 Adrenal Dysfunction (And No One Is Talking About It)

If you’re a woman over 38 and feel like your body is falling apart… read this.

Stage 3 adrenal dysfunction isn’t about being “a little stressed.”

It’s when your body has been running on high cortisol for so long…

that it can’t keep up anymore.

And now?

It’s crashing.

Here’s what it can look like:

• You wake up exhausted — even after 7–8 hours of sleep

• You need caffeine just to function

• You crash hard between 2–4pm

• You feel wired at night but dead during the day

• You gain weight (especially in your midsection)

• Your blood sugar feels unstable

• You’re anxious, irritable, or emotionally flat

• Your workouts feel harder, but your body isn’t changing

• You’re doing “all the right things” and still stuck

And the worst part?

Your labs come back “normal.”

Because conventional testing isn’t looking at cortisol rhythm, mineral status, nervous system load, or blood sugar patterns the way it should.

This was me.

I was exhausted.

Inflamed.

Gaining belly fat in a calorie deficit.

Being told I was “fine.”

I wasn’t fine.

My body was burned out.

And once I addressed:

 Cortisol rhythm

 Mineral depletion

 Blood sugar instability

 Nervous system stress

 Muscle loss

Everything changed.

Energy came back.

Inflammation went down.

My body composition shifted.
