Tired But Wired? It’s Not Burnout—It’s Adrenal Dysfunction

If you feel like you’re dragging through the day, running on caffeine and sheer willpower, but somehow wide awake at 2 a.m. with a racing mind—you’re not lazy. You’re not crazy.

You’re probably in a state of adrenal dysfunction—and conventional medicine rarely tests for it, let alone treats it.

At Body Tonic Rx, we hear this story every day:

“I’m exhausted but can’t sleep. My labs are ‘normal,’ but I don’t feel normal. I’m anxious, puffy, bloated, irritable, wired, and crashing by 3 p.m.”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And there’s a reason this is happening.

Your Adrenals Are Small—But Mighty (And Overworked)

The adrenal glands are two tiny glands that sit on top of your kidneys. They’re responsible for producing cortisol, DHEA, adrenaline, and aldosterone—the hormones that regulate stress, energy, blood sugar, salt balance, and even sex hormones.

But when you’re under chronic stress—mental, emotional, physical, toxic, or inflammatory—your adrenals eventually say, “Enough.”

The result?

• Insomnia or restless sleep
• Fatigue that isn’t fixed by rest
• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
• Weight gain, especially around the belly
• Cravings for salt or sugar
• Bloating, constipation, or brain fog
• Hair thinning or hormonal chaos

Why Your Bloodwork Looks “Normal” (Even When You Feel Like a Zombie)

Here’s the catch: most traditional lab work doesn’t test for adrenal function at all.
Or it just measures morning cortisol—missing the bigger picture.

At Body Tonic Rx, we use 4-point saliva or DUTCH hormone testing to map your cortisol rhythm across the day. That gives us a clear view of whether you’re:

• Overproducing cortisol (wired and anxious)
• Flatlining (burned out and depressed)
• Or bouncing between both

Once we identify your pattern, we create a custom protocol to reset your adrenals—and finally help you feel like youagain.

How We Heal the “Tired But Wired” State

We don’t believe in band-aids. We believe in root-cause resolution. Our adrenal recovery protocols often include:

Targeted Peptides

• DSIP: Deep sleep-inducing peptide to restore circadian rhythm
• Selank: Calms the nervous system and reduces anxiety
• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin: Supports GH production for recovery and cellular repair
• BPC-157: Repairs the gut-brain axis and inflammation-driven burnout

Functional Adaptogens

We use a personalized mix of supplements to modulate cortisol without crashing your energy.

Hormone Balancing

We assess thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA—because your adrenals don’t live in a vacuum.

Lifestyle Upgrades

We guide you on strategic rest, movement, hydration, and nervous system resets—not just another supplement list.
