Well my sodium AND potassium is elevated with a greate potassium to sodium ratio, and I have low blood pressure and every symptom of “adrenal fatigue” and a slow brain. I am a long time reader of phoenixrising and I managesd to improve my fatigue dramatically, also with help of selfhacked. But the brainfog he describes is not comparatible to the fatigue brainfog with low blood pressure or low pulse.
Salt cravings are usual in “adrenal fatigue” or call it hpa axis dysregulation, I don’t care how its called as longas hormones are involved. Therefore my question if it relates to hpa axis dysregulation.

The supplements section proposes supementations however a note could have been inserted that the fda prescribe potassium supplement to be below 100mg. They’re freaked out since hyperkalemia provoque ventricular tachychardia which is lethal within seconds. 100mg won t bring anyone anywhere..

Finally, deficiency of serum potassium creates ectopic beat and arrhytmias. I was looking for some explanation on this specific aspect notably on the electrical conductivity reduction potential of potassium as I think thus symptom is one of the most prevalent of deficient people, likely those always in fight or flight, or anxious by nature, in other words a lot of pple in our modern world. Impact of anti-arrhytmic ( pumo inhibitor) on potassium but cell calcification is relevant to mention too.

A section referencing keto diet as well would be helpful for obvious reasons.

RDA is 5gr a day. I have read that doses in one shot up to 17gr (provided normal kidney fctions) are not lethal.
One avocado , or one banana or one glass of coconut water are all roughly 500 mg potassium. Spinach is a good source. It’s quite hard , without conscious effort, to maintain the 5gr a day.

I supplement 3gr potassium carbonate in hot water and lemon to convert into potassium citrate. That helps with ketogenic diet.

Hooe this helps

Adrenal insufficiency as in Addison’s disease, not adrenal fatigue. They are two different terms and different problems altogether. Adrenal fatigue is more like HPA axis dysfunction than adrenal fatigue.

So you’re saying adrenal insufficiency causes hyperkalemia. Would it apply for ,,adrenal fatigue”. I know you don’t like the term but anyway, people with AF have increased salt cravings, maybe to counter the potassium?
