The effects of toxins, food allergens, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, refined foods, and emotional stress from relationships and workload can lead to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance.

By providing the right foods, adaptogens, and stress-relieving activities like nature walks and deep breathing, you can nourish and support your adrenal glands and nervous system for optimal health.

Thriving Under Stress: What Your Adrenal Glands Need

• Vitamin C {oranges} is important because it is used in the formation of adrenal hormones, such as cortisol, and plays an important anti-inflammatory role protecting the adrenals. 

• Electrolyte minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium {swiss chard, celery, coconut} for energy production, blood pressure & water balance. 

• Healthy fats, fibre rich carbs and protein to help slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, provide building blocks for hormones and help the body detoxify. 

• Adaptogen & beta-glucan support from medicinal mushrooms like reishi {helps with blood sugar, overwhelm, calm the nervous system, improve deep sleep, & reduce inflammation}, lion’s mane {helps with mood, nervous system regeneration & focus}, Maitake & Shiitake {nourish the immune system & protect cells from oxidative damage}
