There is a strong connection between your adrenal glands and your thyroid gland. Those people who have low thyroid function, otherwise known as hypothyroidism, tend to ALSO have problems with their adrenal functions or adrenal fatigue.

The problem is that there is a big overlap in the symptoms seen in both adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism such that it can be hard to tease out the difference between the two.

Learn more about the symptoms between these conditions, how to determine if your symptoms are related to your thyroid or your adrenals or both, and how to test for adrenal problems.

This connection is so strong that I recommend all thyroid patients treat their adrenal glands.

I'm Dr. Westin Childs and I focus on thyroid health, hormone balance, and weight loss. I write about thyroid disorders, weight loss, insulin resistance, estrogen/progesterone balance on my blog. I truly believe that hormone balance is the key to managing your weight, your mood, and your quality of life which is why I'm so passionate about it.
