Your adrenals take on a lot of responsibility in your body as one of the master glands controlling things like your stress response, blood pressure, your immune system and your metabolism.  And because they have such a big job, they become overworked and over-stressed REALLY fast.  And this causes a cascade of effects in the body.THe problem is that so many of the symptoms of overworked and over-tried adrenals mimic the symptoms of so many things (symptoms like brain fog, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, inability to lose weight, can't sleep, wired but tired, thyroid issues and SOOOO many more) , so our adrenals often go overlooked on conventional methods.... so instead we're treating each symptom of this individually when really, the adrenal function needs to be restored!In this episode I am breaking down the roles and responsibilities of the adrenals, how crucial they are for the overall function of the body, and the connection between this and our blood sugar and thyroid... it's all connected and is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked root causes of these symptoms I've mentioned above!If you want more info or are ready to dive into my Adrenal Restoration Program, find the details HERE or schedule a Functional Health Assessment with me HERE!
