ADRENAL REBOOT
Adrenal Fatigue (adrenal insufficiency) is a very common condition, and most people experience it and don’t even know it. It’s the feeling of stress, overwhelm, lack of time, and the never-ending to-do list. These are the feelings that lead to chronic states of exhaustion, lack of ambition and motivation, the “giving in” or “learning to live this way”. We know the adrenals are in trouble when you:
-
Tried everything to lose weight and nothing worked.
-
Don’t have the energy to exercise, and once loved it.
-
Are not motivated.
-
Think about who you were, it doesn’t match who you are right now.
-
Have blood pressure issues, and you do everything right
-
Feel and look older than you are.
We are continually told that this is due to age because most conventional doctors are not taught about adrenal fatigue (or nutrition) in medical school. Therefore, they are not prepared to take adrenal fatigue as a serious threat to your health. The solution to do more than cope with stress, and get back to the energized version of yourself is the Adrenal Reboot.
The Adrenal Reboot is not a magic pill. It's the process that targets the neurological system (nervous system and brain) because this is the area that integrates the environment to swing into action, or to stay calm and focused. This process improves metabolism (yes this means your body can burn fat and calories) to create that all-day everyday energy, at any age. Plus balances hormones, such as cortisol, the stress hormone influences a cascade of other hormonal processes. Of course…. The adrenals are supported back to optimal, and this is so much more than restoring energy. The adrenals produce essential hormones that maintain proper blood sugar, and blood pressure, maintain electrolytes, and body pH, and have anti-aging properties.
Whole foods are important when condsidering an Andrenal Reboot
Every individual must be assessed before a detailed Adrenal Reboot personalized protocol is put together. Start with nutrition, because this is setting up the internal environment for success, without this, the supplements and lifestyle components don’t work. Nutrition requires a suitable amount of calories, 1500 - 2000 calories per day. Anything less and the metabolism has nothing to work with, and goes into survival mode. Depending on body composition, choose a balanced ratio of macros. Always start as close to equal as possible.(P33, F33,C33) Don’t skimp on carbohydrates when your adrenals need extra love. Keep nutrition to whole foods, and avoid processed foods (yea - you’ve heard that before). Supplements that are important vary tremendously, as we are looking for the roots of the root causes, standards are usually Vitamin C, MAgnesium B vitamins, Vitamin D (test before dosing), and Vitamin E, for brain health as well as for adrenals. Adaptogens are wonderful, and they can interact with medications, so please be careful. Lifestyle is the most important piece. Sleep Hygiene, it’s the good night rest that repairs the body. Movement is important as it brings oxygen to cells, this doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming, a 30-minute walk is a beautiful place to start.
