Description
“Adrenal Insufficiency” features Matthew Watto (MD) and Paul Williams (MD) talking with endocrinologist Atil Kargi (MD) about how to catch this commonly missed diagnosis. They cover early red flags like fatigue, salt cravings, and weight loss—and explain when it’s time to test cortisol and ACTH. You’ll also hear how factors like estrogen, past steroid use, and autoimmune history can complicate the picture, plus why treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a helpful guide to spotting adrenal issues before they’re missed.
