For me, it took about 6 to 12 months to truly heal, but it’s important to listen to your body and go at your own pace. During the initial stages of recovery, I focused on reducing intense exercise and allowed my body time to heal. I switched to low-impact, gentle exercises like walking, yoga, and Pilates. These types of exercises are great for keeping the body moving without putting too much stress on the adrenal glands, which is essential for healing. I also prioritized getting enough rest, managing stress, and focusing on nourishing my body with whole, healthy foods. Balancing cortisol levels is key, and that’s why I avoided high-intensity workouts like CrossFit at the time. I highly recommend taking things slow, allowing yourself time to rest, and gradually increasing your activity level once your body starts to feel more balanced. I’m really sorry to hear you’ve been through this too, but I hope this advice helps! You’re on the right track by acknowledging what your body needs.

How long did it take you to get out of severe adrenal fatigue? How did you exercise in the beginning to still heal, yet stay active?

Also, I love that you’re talking about this. I crashed after having my second baby and not sleeping for a year and doing CrossFit.

Thank you!
