Have you ever awakened feeling more fatigued than you did when you went to bed? Or do you feel like you need a nap in the afternoon every day, like clockwork? Your doctor tells you that all is well, your tests are all “normal”, but you don’t feel normal. If this describes your own experience, you are not alone. We see patients just like you every day at A Better Alternative Medical Center who feel fatigued, or just can’t shake the “wired but tired” feeling, or feel like they are weighted down and can’t cope with the stress of daily life. Very often, you or these other patients are experiencing adrenal fatigue.
So, what is the good news? You don’t need to live like this forever! These symptoms can be ideally investigated and treated by the functional medicine we do in our office. Our efforts are not to attempt to suppress the symptoms that you may be experiencing and hope to make them temporarily go away. If you are looking for real answers through the most effective adrenal fatigue treatment in NJ, Dr. Leder can help you on your journey to lasting relief.
Adrenal Fatigue Also Deserves Attention
Adrenal fatigue is not just a trending term. It is quite common for those living under chronic stress—emotional, physical, spiritual or mental. Your adrenal glands, while tiny, are incredibly powerful. They rest on top of your kidneys and, through their regulatory function, they help manage cortisol, which is the primary stress hormone in your body. Whenever your adrenal glands get overworked, hormonal balance is disrupted. Fatigue, brain fog, lack of motivation, mood swings, and even hard-to-shed weight may result. And this is precisely why A Better Alternative Medical Center utilizes the comprehensive functional healing approach. If you have identified your need for adrenal fatigue treatment near you, you have already started to take control of your health.
Let’s Break It Down: How We Tackle Adrenal Fatigue
1. First Step: We Listen to Your Story
Adrenal fatigue presents differently for everyone. We start with a deep dive into your unique health history. Here are topics we often discuss:
● Your stressors, both past and present
● Sleep habits, and energy dips in your day
● Nutritional deficiencies
● Hidden infections or gut health issues
● Hormonal shifts
* Exercise regimen (or lack of one)
This is also not about generic lab ranges and cut-and-paste approaches. Our team looks at both traditional and functional lab results and we seek patterns that most other providers miss.
2. Personalized Treatment Plans – Not Another "One Size Fits All"
Once we learn through history, physical examination, and in-depth testing what deficits or imbalances are present in your system, we form a plan that suits your chemistry and lifestyle. Some of the treatments that may be included in the plan are:
● Herbal adaptogens to support adrenal rest and recovery
● Certain vitamins, including: B5, B6, and Vitamin C
● Anti-inflammatory, recovery-supportive food patterns
● Sleep optimization
● Lifestyle coaching and stress reduction
The intention is to create a cortisol rhythm and levels that works for you again so you feel like yourself.
(By the way, if you are resetting your metabolism and weight gain is amongst your issues, many of our patients ask us you may consider a weight loss plan and seek an HCG provider near you. Dr. Leder is one of the leading HCG diet providers in your area.)
3. Continued Support for Lasting Health
Recovery from adrenal fatigue does not happen in a week or two; it requires time and consistency. It is a process, and we guide you through it all the way. Follow-ups are necessary for us to gauge your progress based on how your body responds. We are not looking for quick, temporary or partial solutions. We are looking for true transformation.
FAQs
Q1: How do I know if I have adrenal fatigue?

Q2: Is adrenal fatigue a condition recognized by all doctors?
Many conventional doctors don't see it the same way many functional medicine practitioners do.
Q3: How long will it take to get better?
Most patients report feeling a noticeable improvement in weeks, while full recovery can take several moths, depending on the severity and prior duration of the fatigue.
Q4: Do I have to completely change my whole life?
We will work with you to identify small, sustainable changes that you can implement to start the healing process. You will decide how much you can take on at a time, and move at your own pace to achieve the goals you set with the doctor.
