Feeling tired and sluggish in the afternoon? Need that extra cup of coffee or a nap to get through the day? It might be a sign that your body's adrenal hormones are out of balance.
When these hormones are off, it can lead to chronic fatigue, thyroid issues, weight gain, and strong cravings for unhealthy food. But the good news is, there are ways to address it!
There's a test that can pinpoint these hormone imbalances, along with natural remedies that can help you regain your energy levels throughout the entire day.
One person who struggled with low energy shared their story:
"Thanks to the testing, I finally understood why I was always tired, achy, and struggling with memory lapses. Valeriya, my naturopath, have changed my life. What's the cost of feeling fantastic? To me it is priceless for every day I wake up and bounce through the day, and that is in my 40's! Thank you." – I.S
What exactly are adrenal hormones?
They're produced by small glands on top of your kidneys and play a big role in your energy levels. Cortisol, one of these hormones, helps you wake up in the morning and wind down at night.
But when we're constantly stressed or busy, our adrenal glands can get overworked. This can throw off our cortisol levels and affect our thyroid hormones, which control our metabolism.
There are three stages of adrenal stress:
Hyper Adrenal: High blood pressure, mood swings, and skin problems.
Adaptive Response: Fatigue, anxiety, and body aches.
Chronic Fatigue: Persistent tiredness, forgetfulness, and joint pain.
Cortisol also affects weight gain by messing with our blood sugar levels and metabolism, leading to cravings and fat storage around the middle.
To find out if your adrenal glands are causing your symptoms, you can get a test that measures your cortisol levels throughout the day. It's important to test both adrenal and thyroid function to get the full picture.
In addition to testing, it's essential to look at other factors like blood sugar and nutrition to understand your body's needs fully.
