Four things you can do to help improve your adrenal function and symptoms. Number one, y' all eat salt. So your adrenals need salt to function. It's one of the reasons why people with adrenal fatigue or adrenal struggles crave salt. They need it to fuel. I even tell my patients at Modern Thyroid Clinic to take a half a teaspoon of high quality like Redmond salt in water twice a day to really flood your adrenals with what they need. Number two is adrenal support supplements. My favorites are Ashwagandha at night. And yes, there's a million rumors of why thyroid people can't take Ashwagandha. I'll address this in a separate video. I use it in my patients all the time. It's fantastic. We don't pass along old wives tales around here. And my very favorite, yes, it's backwards orthomolecular adrenal single handedly. The most life changing supplement I use with my patients. I'll give you instructions on how to use it towards the end of the video. But it has micronutrients and minerals to nourish and restore your adrenals. But it also has cow adrenal gland in it. And what that does is it makes you feel like you don't have an adrenal issue while we're working on fixing it. So better energy, clarity, cognition, motivation, engagement, stress, resilience. Number three, rest. If your body is telling you to rest and you have an opportunity to do so, do it. The end goal is to repair your adrenals faster than you are wearing them down. So just because, hey, you might need naps now or extra sleep doesn't mean it will always be like that. Give your body the rest that you can, when you can, so that you don't forever have to. And lastly, do not, do not under any circumstances over exercise. This is one of the most devastating ways that I see people come into my practice and not get well is people with severe and profound adrenal issues are over exercising and they are ruining their adrenal function to the degree that it's hard to repair. If you are exercising and you have a thyroid adrenal problem, only exercise to the point that you feel more energetic or as energetic later that day. If you are feeling exhausted or need a nap later that day, you overdid it. Pull back. Okay, okay. Those are my four how I use adrenal with my patients. Talk to your own doctor. Of course it lasts for about three to five hours. I have them take a dose in the morning and in the afternoon around lunch I have them slowly increase starting at 1 in 1 up to 3 and 3. Most people don't need that many but I have them increase until they feel clear, alert, engaged, motivated. If they get stimulated or feel jittery it's too much and I have them reduced back by one the next day. This is kind of hard to find online because it is pharmaceutical grade. You can find it. I try to keep it in my Amazon storefront under supplements y'. All. I'm constantly having to replace it because they take it out so I'm doing my best. You can check there if you want it. Truly the most life changing supplement I use with my patients. Okay that's it. I hope that was helpful. Hey comment your questions below or tag a friend. Save this for later. Just engage you guys.
