What’s your adrenal story? Are you lazy? Are you crazy?

I am not a medical doctor. Use this information at your own risk. 

I’ve been writing about my journey to adrenal health (starting here), sharing my research, and explaining what has worked for me and countless sufferers I’ve met over the years. In the previous article, I recommended adding nutriceuticals to your diet. In upcoming articles, I’ll share even more tips for achieving adrenal balance.

Today’s topic is about looking back on your adrenal journey. This exercise is important since it identifies behaviors leading to adrenal imbalance in the first place. Looking to the past is crucial in avoiding the same kinds of problems in the future.

I’ll use myself as an example. Bear with me as I describe how long this took me to finally figure out.

Back to My Story 

The first time I experienced adrenal fatigue, I was married and in my early 30’s, juggling a challenging job with a stressful daily commute, and trying to deal with several difficult people who just wouldn’t go away. I didn’t know what it was then, but I see clearly in the rear view mirror. I was skipping meals and skipping sleep. Most days, I was even skipping going to the bathroom. I wasn’t taking proper care of myself.

The second time I had adrenal issues, I was chasing around a toddler and expecting another child, trying to maintain a successful career, and still be the kind of wife and mother I thought I should be. Also, those stressful people were still making me miserable — I hadn’t learned how to disconnect from others who stole my happiness. Again, I didn’t know what was going on. But, looking back, I see the stress I put on my adrenal glands (and, frankly, other parts of my body too).

In those early cases, I tried different things and eventually felt a little better. But I didn’t have a comprehensive plan for healing (articles like these weren’t available). Worse, I went back to the same habits after every crisis.

Which explains why it happened a third time after delivering a third child and enduring a houseful of foreign guests a few weeks later. I was beginning to understand myself at that point, so I knew some of the things that sent me over the edge (overscheduling myself, too high expectations, energy vampires, and house guests). Though I finally started disconnecting from people who caused me stress, I remained stubborn about the other life changes I really needed to make.

By the fourth time my adrenals went out, I studied about hormones and the human body and learned everything about natural healing I could get my hands on. Feeling the worst I’d ever felt in my life, I was desperate for answers. With no other choice, I finally put all the pieces together, and healed myself for good.

Examining past behaviors can prevent the same crisis from happening in the future #adrenal fatigue…

What’s Your Story?

The reason I told you my history was so you would understand how these things can go. It isn’t mysterious, but a clear pattern of not listening to the body as it gradually falls apart.

As you can see, I wasn’t lazy and I wasn’t crazy — what happened to me was real (and perfectly understandable). No amount of being told I needed  exercise or a trip to the psychiatrist would’ve helped. In fact, those things only added guilt and frustration to a struggle that was already hard enough to figure out.

Maybe your story is like mine, or maybe it’s quite a bit different. Your body might be like mine, but probably it’s a little different, too. I could tell you what I did each time my adrenals broke down, but could never guarantee the same results. It’s like that list of stressors I wrote about. I felt better after eliminating certain stressors of mine, but there are likely others that really bother you.

What’s important, then, is to review your own life story. What kinds of things set you over the edge? What are your exact symptoms? When do you notice your adrenal fatigue is at its worst (morning, late at night, after a meal)? Do you notice anything different when you eat/don’t eat certain foods? Keeping a journal for a few weeks can be really helpful when answering these questions. If you’ve got recent labs or blood work, tuck those in your journal, too.

You’e not lazy or crazy. Here’s what to do. #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

In my journey to vibrant health, I created a personalized health system of nutrition and supplementation, lifestyle changes, and I retrained my mind and the energy of my body. I view my success as the formula to my happy, healthy life. I now empower other women to create their own personalized formulas, including the tools and strategies just right for them!

Targeted Supplements for Adrenal Health

I am not a medical doctor. Use this information at your own risk. This article may contain affiliate links.

I’ve been writing about my journey with adrenal fatigue (starting here), sharing some of my research, and explaining what has worked for me and others I’ve encountered over the years. In my previous article, I told you what I eat. In this article, I’ll tell you the other things I eat.

But, first, this.

Can You Heal Yourself?

My goal in writing this series was to to give you enough information to help yourself. Many people heal from dis-ease and illness on their own, so it’s possible to DIY the rebalancing of adrenal hormones, too.

On the other hand, what I’m sharing about today is confusing and more complicated than previous topics. If performed incorrectly, there’s the potential of disrupting health in other ways; frankly, it can even be dangerous. In light of the seriousness of this topic, it’s a good idea to hire a health partner for this part of  your healing. If you do, I recommend finding a natural, alternative, functional, integrative or holistic health practitioner to get this step right (that’s important, since traditional doctors are usually unable to help).

Taking Vitamins and Supplements

By now, most people know it’s impossible to get the nutrients our bodies need from food alone. At least, not from the foods readily available in this country, and certainly not in the quantities it would take for optimal health. It’s why so many Americans are chronically ill, why there’s a huge market for miracle products, and why advertisers are successful pushing systems to [allegedly] solve all manner of health issues.

I am of the opinion that every American would probably benefit by supplementing what they eat with “nutriceuticals” (the term used to describe vitamins, minerals, and other formulas designed to create health). But, instead of going with the latest all-in-one product or formulation, I think people should take a very exact approach.

To me, nutritional supplementation is like chemistry — it requires accuracy and precision, not just the dumping of substances into a container and waiting for a reaction. That’s my approach — full disclosure. I’m not big on multi-vitamins, unless someone needs exactly what is in the formulation, in exactly those doses.

Supplementation is like chemistry. It requires accuracy & precision #adrenalfatigue…

Adrenal Support

Turns out, when the adrenals are imbalanced, nutritional supplementation is very important. Since the adrenals produce many hormones that perform many jobs, in addition to hormones themselves, other things can go out of balance, too. So, this is where the nutriceuticals come in, and where it becomes confusing trying to figure out which exact formulas will solve the imbalance.

Not everyone understands how vitamins and supplements work. I know I didn’t at first. What happens is that some  substances work together, while others interfere with each other in a way. Still others require their own support in order to even be effective. It’s a puzzle for sure, but a puzzle that someone with the right training can figure out quickly and easily.

When adrenals are imbalanced supplementation is really important. #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

Click To Tweet

I personally take many things when my adrenals are run down. I also take other things every single day of the year. Something I learned over the years is to tune in to all the areas of my body, not just the ones I think require support, and help them each individually. What that looks like, at least for me, is continually checking in, monitoring, tweaking, and changing the supplements I take throughout my life.

People want specifics, so I’ll share examples that work for me (but may not be appropriate for you): Though I eat well, I consume extra iodine. Even though I live in Florida, I watch my level of vitamin D3. For adrenal support, I add this magnesium powder into my green drinks. I use Holy Basil when stressed or very busy, enjoying this particular tea on a regular basis.

Those are just examples of products that work for me. I could tell you everything else I take, but I can’t tell you what your body requires. I wish I could give you a list, but because I care about you, I want you to get this part exactly right.

What I Recommend

What I recommend for supplementation is one of two things. Either A) do some testing on yourself (either muscle test, carefully experiment, get your own lab work, or all of the above) and do extensive research to learn what you need; or B) hire a professional.

If it’s your desire to study this field and take the DIY approach, do it. Though I warn you — it’s a part-time job! Or, if it’s within your budget to hire a practitioner, I highly recommend doing that instead.

In the next article, I’ll share additional techniques that may help re-balance adrenal hormones. You’re invited to SUBSCRIBE using the button on my home page, and the article will be delivered to your Inbox when it’s ready.

Hope to see you in the next article,

Using Nutrition to Heal Adrenals

I am not a medical doctor and don’t claim to cure anything. Read at your own risk.

I’ve recently been sharing my journey to heal adrenal fatigue and some of the things I did to get back to maximum health. My previous article about stress is here. You could also start at the beginning of the topic instead.

In my opinion, today’s topic is one of the two most important (the other is revealed in the next article). It’s about examining what you’re putting inside your body by looking at the foods you consume. It’s also one of hardest to write about since food is a very sensitive topic for many people.

Consuming the right foods is crucial for adrenal health #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

Click To Tweet

So far, I’ve talked a little about the role of the adrenals, and I’ve tried to get you to notice different things that stress you out. Though everyone’s adrenals are functionally the same, the things that stress us out can vary person to person.

For me, a major stressor is having a low tolerance to certain kinds of people. The different energies of people will either fuel and energize me, or deplete me like a vacuum. I’m a social person and I love to interact with audiences, so I do not avoid human contact. Instead, recognizing my susceptibility, I’ve learned to deal with people who suck my energy or get under my skin. I also spend a lot of time with animals to refill my energies.

Everyone is different, and you’re probably different from me in that regard. But, there is one way we’re the same.

The One Solution Everybody Needs

The good news is there is one constant, no matter the body type or kinds of other stressors, and no matter how long adrenal fatigue has been going on — proper nutrition. I’m not talking about dieting (though you might lose weight doing it) but about changing what you put into your body every day. All the times I’ve suffered and all the research I’ve done in the last decades lead to one conclusion: what you eat directly impacts your adrenal health.

Eat these foods and improve your adrenal health #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

Click To Tweet

What I learned, which is what all the adrenal diets on the market will also tell you, is that healing adrenals involves eating fresh, natural, whole foods. In practice, that means eating some protein at every meal, and consuming large quantities of vegetables and very little fruit. What it also means is eliminating things you probably love to eat, but can’t eat any more. Like eliminating sugars, dairy and processed foods. At least not for a while. And maybe never again.

I know that seems harsh but that’s because it is. On the bright side, once you get used to your new way of eating, your cravings will subside, and you’ll look and feel so much better you won’t care.

Eat They Way I Eat

I don’t juice and I don’t make smoothies.

What I do is eat lots and lots of vegetables (as many organic/non GMO as possible), trying to get a minimum of 8 cups per day, which isn’t hard since I love huge salads. But, veggies can be consumed lots of different ways, making this part relatively painless. It’s filling, too.

Though I’m an animal advocate and prefer to be vegan, I eat small quantities of beef and poultry (no hormones, grass-fed, humanely harvested) because I really need it for my health. I also eat wild (non-contaminated) fishes and free-range chicken eggs as alternatives, actually finding both fish and eggs a very satisfying breakfast. I need at least 4 ounces of flesh or animal protein to feel well at every meal. I wish I didn’t have to eat meat, but I’m thankful for the nutrients and energy I receive from animals who give their lives so I can thrive. For me, there is just no other way.

Though certain grains may be alright and some adrenal diets include grains, I personally find I do better without many grains. I occasionally eat some brown rice, organic pasta, or some of the ancient grains, but I don’t feel as well afterwards, and can only process them using digestive formulas.

I include of nuts and seeds in my diet, including all kinds of nut butters, but choose almond or sunflower butter over peanut butter whenever I can. Apple sauce is my occasional substitute for jelly or sweetener. I don’t eat fruit because I don’t like most fruits. But, when I do, I choose berries, half of a frozen banana or piece of melon.

Legumes and starchy vegetables are also fine for me, but I do watch starches carefully (like sweet potatoes), consuming only certain ones (different color squashes) and rarely others (like peas and white potatoes).

It’s Hard at First

The difficult part for most people is eliminating foods they really enjoy, because foods offer comfort, foods hold fond memories, and those foods comprise most of the standard American diet anyhow. But, to get healthy, and I mean healthy from the inside, we must eliminate foods that are making us sick. And sugars, dairy, and processed foods can make us sick. (Before you comment about raw milk, maple, honey, fermented foods, and other things that are considered [by some] to be healthy, please understand my readers need a cut and dry approach, not one with a thousand little exceptions that make it hard to follow.)

I realize this sounds horrible and very strict but that’s because it is. To truly heal the body means watching what you feed it. Please understand that adrenal imbalance isn’t a confined problem, which is what makes this necessary. Adrenal health depends on other things, namely the gut. By giving the body nutrition, it is really healing the digestive system, in turn restoring adrenal function.

I wrote an e-book that describes what I currently eat, because so many people asked me to write it down. It’s not a meal plan, but a list of foods I consume and ideas to prepare them. I’ll give you the link to the book later on. There are other adrenal diet books you can buy, too.

Last Thoughts

I can’t underscore enough how crucial this step is. Understanding adrenal fatigue and reducing stress are certainly important, but food is the real game changer. After just a few weeks of eating clean (and overcoming those first few days of “detox”), people always notice a huge difference in how they feel. It’s impossible to get those kind of results without a major diet change.

Incidentally, healing the adrenals often miraculously resolves other problems in the body, too. I can’t tell you what those might be for you, but eating clean has a way of resolving lots of other things as a bonus. That can be helpful to remember that during the first days of changing your diet. It’s encouraging to know you’re doing so much good.

Here’s that e-book I told you about:

Healing Adrenals by Reducing Stressors

I’ve been sharing advice about dealing with adrenal fatigue over the last few weeks. If you’d like to read the articles from the very beginning, click HERE . If you only want to back up to the previous article, click HERE.

I need to remind you that I’m not a medical doctor. What I am doing is sharing what I’ve learned in over a decade of research, years of personal experience, and a good bit of professional experience working with women who share this particular problem. I also remind you that traditional medicine doesn’t understand this dilemma the way I’m helping you understand it. Finally, remember that the only way to truly recover from adrenal fatigue/overload/exhaustion is to get to the source and take a holistic approach to resolve it. Trust me on this — conventional medicine doesn’t understand what you’re going through and has no idea how to help.

I know you’re anxious to get answers. So, starting with this post, I’m going to share specific things that work for many people. Obviously, you’re unique, so I make no guarantees. Also, there’s always the possibility that something else is going in addition to your adrenal imbalance. All that being said, you agree to read this at your own risk.

So, the first step to healing the adrenals is this: Eliminate your stressors.

Not stressed, you say? Think again.

It’s easy to look at our lives and wonder what could possibly be affecting us so profoundly that our bodies stay on high alert. Even I sometimes fall back into the trap of listening with my brain instead of listening to my body. Our brains tell us to look around at our beautiful homes and our healthy families, reminding us how happy we must be and how blessed we really are. And these are good things, don’t get me wrong, because gratitude is important for healing, too.

The problem is, our outer lives don’t tell the whole picture. Counting blessings doesn’t explain what’s happening with the adrenal glands. As in, why do we feel so crummy if everything else is going so well?

So, because the adrenals don’t function on logic, neither should your assessment of the number of stressors that are in your life. Modern living is full of stress, so people’s lists of stressors are usually quite long.

When tackling adrenal fatigue, it’s crucial to expand your understanding of stressors, and begin actively removing a bunch of them. Now. This isn’t the time to wait around for things to change (if they ever do). If you’re serious about healing the adrenals, you must take an honest look at what’s going IN and AROUND your body. You might be surprised what many of them are.

List of common stressors to eliminate (at least some). Starting now. #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

Click To Tweet

List of Stressors

  • People: Yes, even (often especially) family members, neighbors, close “friends”, people who annoy or disagree, people who are “vampires” of your energy or good will
  • Past emotional hurts: Even those we’ve long forgotten (especially those)
  • Jobs and Organizations: Those that suck your time, provide little fulfillment, or don’t suit your purpose
  • Commuting: How long, how often, and conditions thereof
  • Other health issues: Which can add layer upon layer of additional stress
  • Household toxins: chemical sprays, cleaning products, candles, air fresheners, beauty products
  • Other household toxins: carpeting, furniture, paint, pretreated fabrics, flame-retardant items
  • Outdoor toxins: swimming pools, bug sprays, lawn treatments, vehicle emissions
  • Positive things: Which can also be stressful, even if they’re fun (vacations, toddlers, out of town guests)
  • Plastic: water bottles, storage containers, mattress liners, and any non-safe plastic items
  • GMO foods: Research and anectodal evidence beginning to show many harms and dangers
  • Non-organic foods: Improperly handled, grown using pesticides, unsafe soils and packaging
  • Processed foods: Contain all manner of artificial ingredients, colors, sweeteners, and non-food
  • Caffeine and alcohol
  • Sugar: Plain sugar plus the sugar hidden in many foods
  • Indoor living and lack of sunshine
  • Electronics: Overuse of devices, sitting near devices, using too close to bedtime
  • Finances: Living above means and struggling, or sensing lack even where there is none
  • Lighting: Improper lighting, not enough light, light too close to bedtime

I’m not kidding when I say that ALL those things affect your body, therefore your health. There are others, but those are some of the major culprits when it comes to solving adrenal imbalance.

Which Ones to Eliminate

In my experience, people usually know specifically the people and things that are creating stress in their lives. But, thinking about disconnecting from those stressors creates stress for them, too. Weighing that situation adds to their stress, making eliminating stressors a tough problem in itself.

Despite how hard it might seem, everyone can at least identify at least 3 to 5 stressors (more is better) get rid of them right away. It’s important not to cave in, and to follow thru with the changes as consistently as possible. The rewards will show themselves eventually as a reduction in the level of stress the adrenals have to deal with each day. Ideally, one would take a long vacation and return home after several months completely stress-free. Since that isn’t usually possible, eliminating stressors a few at a time is the only way.

And what about stressors that can never be eliminated? That’s a topic for another article, but the trick is to eliminate those that are possible and train yourself not to react to the rest. I’ve linked a book at the end that might help with the problem of taking on the energy of difficult people.

Final Advice On Stress

It took a while for adrenal fatigue to set in, so it will take a while to go away #adrenalfatigue…

Click To Tweet

Always remember that it took a while for adrenal fatigue to set in, so it will take a while to go away. Dealing with stressors systematically, one at a time, consistently and patiently, will help without a doubt. Though it may take a bit of time to start noticing the effects, a greater sense of calm will eventually return, sometimes within weeks, but definitely within months, and especially if you do some of the others things I’ll talk about in the next article.

Also remember the story about the camel’s back, where it took just one straw to cause the camel’s demise.  Though it may have been that final straw that caused your adrenal fatigue to show itself, it took a lot of straws in your personal story to get you to that point. Removing that one straw might help with adrenal fatigue temporarily, but it will only take another straw to break you all over again.

Eliminating many stressors is really required for success. Remove as many “straws” as you possibly can.

Adrenal Fatigue: What it is and how it happens

May contain affiliate links

I recently wrote an article about adrenal fatigue (here). In it, I revealed how I had suffered with adrenal exhaustion years ago, and I listed some of the symptoms I had when my adrenal fatigue was at its worst. The article is being shared rather widely, validating once again how many people suffer from adrenal issues and are searching for a cure. The information I shared wasn’t readily available when I looked for it in my 30’s and 40’s. That’s part of why I decided to share more about this problem with you today.

Though my adrenals have been fine for a long time, I began noticing they needed attention again this year. After dealing with a difficult problem over the last 10 months, I can’t say I’m surprised my adrenals began to speak out. If you think of the adrenal glands as the “first responders” of the body, it’s easy to see how they produce some of the first noticeable signs when the body falls out of balance again. Because the adrenals are quick to react but slow to calm down once they’ve been stressed too long, they produce a range of uncomfortable symptoms that are just too hard to ignore.

I’d like to offer a short anatomy lesson, for those who aren’t familiar with the location and job of the adrenal glands in the human body.

Learn what the adrenals do and how they do it #adrenalfatigue #notlazyorcrazy

Click To Tweet

Adrenal Glands: A Quick Overview

Every one of us has 2 adrenal glands, each about the size of a thumb, which are located on top of each kidney on either side of the body. The primary job of the adrenal glands is to produce a variety of hormones (more than 50 I believe) that are necessary for human life. Most people have probably heard of the adrenal hormone called “adrenaline”, which is the one that comes to our rescue during times of extreme fear or situations requiring quick action. Adrenaline is the hormone that rushes blood to our heads so we can think clearly in emergencies. It also rushes blood to our hearts and muscles so they can briefly become super-powerful and quickly react to whatever emergency situation is at hand (think of the parent able to lift a vehicle off a child after an accident).

Another hormone released by the adrenals is “cortisol”. In a perfect world, cortisol would be released in precise dosages into the body throughout the day, helping us rise in the morning, perform our daily activities with an appropriate amount of energy, and feel ready to go to sleep at night. Cortisol function is disturbed when the adrenals are severely under stress, however. What would normally proceed like clockwork becomes greatly out of balance, and the changes in cortisol levels are felt as the various symptoms we commonly associate with adrenal fatigue or exhaustion. (See this list of symptoms.)

Typically, this excess cortisol produces a feeling of being on constant “high alert” without the ability to calm down. With the  adrenals overloaded and hormone levels unregulated in the cyclical way I described earlier, the body remains in a continually heightened state (some call it fear, nervousness, stress, or anxiety). It’s like the high alert can never be turned off. Which is why adrenal fatigue sufferers always feel so wired, so anxious, so nervous, and so jittery all the time; or in contrast, so utterly exhausted and practically unable to move when the alert has finally ended.

Fight or Flight Response

In reality, the stress response I’ve just described is life-saving and necessary for humans to react to real emergencies. If we look back in time to when humans would flee from wild animals or, later, human predators, we can understand why “fight or flight” is necessary for actual survival.

[An easy book for learning about stress and relaxation is, “The Relaxation Response” by Dr. Herbert Benson. If you’re interested in learning more, even though it’s an older book, it’s a good one to start out with.]

A problem today is that the human body hasn’t quite adapted to face the situations it’s living under in modern society.  We are constantly bombarded with information and other stimuli, and we’re surrounded by mock emergency situations, or at least those we perceive as being urgent RIGHT NOW. The typical American lifestyle can wreak havoc on a body not designed to handle the overload of modern western culture. Our bodies lose the ability to chill out between episodes of stressful activity and bounce back to its naturally restful state.

Here’s a simple equation representing what I’ve just said:

Modern living = too many emergencies = adrenals can’t rest = bodies unlearn how to calm down.

Here’s the translation:

The adrenals get fooled into thinking there’s an alarm going off all the time.
