Love Your Adrenals For The Body You Want

Our walnut-size adrenals are the “stress” glands which help to handle the daily stresses in our busy busy lives.  If we abuse them with chronic stress, lack of sleep, high caffeine, and poor diets, they can breakdown and not produce enough cortisol. That can quickly lead to imbalances casing ugly weight gain, estrogen dominance, hair loss, + increased cravings for salty-sweet combos. Bottomline, be kind to these delicate glands and the payoff will be worth it with a healthy, balanced, and lean body that can take you running strong for 100 years!

Keeping your adrenals loaded with nutrients are key for true adrenal health. Feed them like your favorite pet… 🐒 Supply them with glucose for restorative repair at least every 3 to 4 hours.

Try my adrenal snacks below to keep the glucose supply fueling your adrenal glands, so they can feed off the nutrients to repair + restore them into tip-top shape. They need healthy carbs such as fruits, sweet potatoes, and plenty of leafy greens to get themselves fueled and ready to go to take on the stress in our daily lives. Little steps add up…remember to stay hydrated, sleep well, and eat every 3 to 4 hours when you are dealing with adrenal fatigue. THEY CAN & WILL HEAL!

My top 3 adrenal snacks:

  • Banana + Coconut Water

  • Orange + Spinach

  • Dates + Cucumber
