Are Your Adrenals Singing the Blues?

Hey there, lovely! Let's talk about something that's really important for our overall health and wellbeing: our adrenals!

Those tiny little glands that sit on top of our kidneys are responsible for producing hormones that help us respond to stress, regulate our energy levels, and even influence our mood. But when they're not functioning properly, it can be a real challenge.

So, how do you know if your adrenals are suffering? Here are some signs to look out for:

- Fatigue that just won't quit (no matter how much coffee you drink!)

- Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns

- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

- Mood swings and irritability

- Weight gain, particularly around the midsection

- Skin issues, like acne or thinning skin

- Hair loss (yikes!)

- Decreased libido (not fun for anyone!)

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't worry – there's hope! I was suffering with several when I started my journey to health. I think the fatigue and the hair loss were two of my least favorite symptoms, but honestly all of them stink. Here are four simple things you can do to start giving your adrenals a little TLC:

1. Add a pinch of Celtic sea salt to your water: This might sound weird, but trust me, it's a game-changer! Celtic sea salt is rich in minerals that can help support adrenal function and boost hydration. Just add 1/2 teaspoon to your water daily and see how you feel!

Try Selina Naturally Sea Salt ½ teaspoon in your water daily for better hydration and adrenal recovery. Important NOTE: If you have heart issues, check with your doctor before trying this one!

2. Take Young Living's B Complex: B vitamins are essential for adrenal function, and Young Living's B Complex is a fantastic supplement that can help support energy production and reduce stress. Plus, it's made with high-quality ingredients that are easy on the body.

Signs your B vitamin levels could be low include fatigue and weakness, pale skin, digestive issues, weight loss, sore or red tongue, mouth sores and heart palpitations. Mood changes, depression, balance issues, numbness or tingling along with vision problems can also be signs.

3. Try an adrenal supplement: I'm a big fan of Apex's Adrenal PEP – it's a gentle, non-stimulating supplement that can help support adrenal function without any harsh ingredients (like licorice, which can be a problem for some people).

4. Use the Lifewave AEON patch: This patch is a total rockstar for regulating the nervous system and reducing adrenal fatigue. Plus, it's got a load of other benefits, like reducing stress and inflammation levels. Win-win!

The Aeon patch should be worn 12 hours every day for best results.

And, as a bonus tip, I want to give a shout-out to the amazing benefits of drinking KANGEN water (that's hydrogen water, for those who don't know!). It's like a big hug for your body, helping to support energy levels and promote healing. If you live nearby in Birmingham, AL and your not a scary person, I’d be happy to share some water with you.

I know that adrenal issues can be a real challenge, especially when you're dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, or just plain old stress. Maybe you're a caregiver for a loved one, or maybe you're just trying to keep your head above water. Whatever it is, I see you, and I want you to know that you're not alone.

Remember, taking care of your adrenals is all about making small, sustainable changes that add up over time. Start with one or two things and see how you feel – and don't be afraid to reach out for support when you need it.

Happy healing, lovelies!
