Lack of energy can diminish our performance, cloud our mind, and totally alter our mood. Whether it is due to stress, illness, overwork, poor sleep, you name it—the adrenal glands will be affected.
Healing the Adrenals
Adrenal exhaustion occurs when a person’s cortisol levels become depleted. Cortisol is our stress hormone (aka fight/flight hormone), and depletion comes from three main sources: emotional, dietary, and pain/inflammation.
Healing the adrenals is a fabulous way to gain energy. The magical part of that process is that it can heal many ailments at the same time!
Simple fixes for low energy and fatigue
- Go to sleep early (10:00 is great).
- Stay hydrated!
- Avoid sugar and processed foods. They may give you energy temporarily, but they zap it in the long run due to the inflammation they create.
- Get Acupuncture. Acupuncture can help de-stress the body and recharge it. Many people relax so deeply during treatment that they often fall asleep. I’ve had patients get off the treatment table and say it was the best rest they’ve ever had! Quite a few have said it’s even better than a massage.
- Use Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine can dive deep and figure out why it’s happening and how to fix it.
