Alicia Mackey Huber breaks down three types of stress: physical, disease-related, and emotional. To support adrenal health, increase salt intake in the morning, use adrenal cortex extract and licorice root, and drink one cup of coffee to raise cortisol levels.
There's different kinds of stress. There's, like, good stress. Like, I worked out really hard. Like, if you lifted heavy, you're stressed. You run a marathon, you're super stressed, Right? Or maybe you're recovering from disease or circadian stress. You look at the kind of stress, or it's emotional stress. What I do then is more salt, especially in the morning. Adrenal cortex extract, licorice root. I like to have a cup of coffee in the morning, even if I'm stressed. Some people say you should quit coffee for adrenals. No. If you have adrenal dysfunction, have a cup of coffee, just one, in the morning. And you do that to get your cortisol up in the morning so you can be functional as you're healing your adrenals. But salt is massively, massively important.
