Adrenal Fatigue: What now?

Adrenal Fatigue Sucks...


There I said it! Those of us that suffer from it are already thinking it though. One way your body compensates for unremitting stress is to go into survival mode and switching metabolic gears.


When this was explained to me at first I was relieved that the reason I was gaining weight was because my body wasn't able to respond to stress in the way that it should. But then I got frustrated because I started thinking... WELL WHAT THE HECK CAN I DO ABOUT IT.  How do we get our bodies to just "switch gears" again.



The solution is to not further stress the body by reducing calories and exercise but to instead implement an adrenal-friendly diet, accompanied by herbal supplementation, and adding the right kind of exercise when called for all of this along with making an effort to heal the root cause of the problem! The chronic stress that is signaling my body to remain in a constant state of high stress.
(I will go into this in later posts)


I figured out that I have been suffering from adrenal dysfunction most of my life, however I just officially "found out" and am beginning to take steps to healing my body naturally. There is NO QUICK FIX for adrenal fatigue. HEAR ME... it takes time. I have found 1 supplement thus far in my journey that has helped me immensely. It's a little tablet that I take 1x per day and it has helped to reduce oxidative stress in my body. Which anyone undergoing adrenal dysfunction is experiencing oxidative stress (truth is EVERY SINGLE PERSON IS) I will post how to obtain this supplement at the bottom of this post.
