In this video, we're going to talk about potassium and the adrenal glands. In past videos, you may have heard me talk about how people need a lot of potassium. But, there are certain conditions where you may not need that much potassium.

Two types of adrenal problems:

1. High adrenals (Cushing's) — A hyper state
People with hyper adrenal glands may need much more potassium than salt. They may benefit from a moderate amount of salt and a lot of potassium.

2. Low adrenals (Addison's) — A hypo state
People with Addison's disease may worsen the situation by adding more potassium. Instead, it may be a good idea to add salt.
