43. Adrenal Fatigue, Sympathetic Dominance, and Eleuthero
Adrenal fatigue is a hot topic. Some would even suggest it’s not a real thing. I can tell you that is IS real, and it doesn’t occur by itself. Integral to healthy adrenal glands are also a healthy autonomic nerve function, and hypothalamus and pituitary function. If a person is stuck in a sympathetic nervous state, any illness or injury they incur is more likely to become chronic. For many people, addressing their stress is the first, most important step to healing. In today’s episode, I share how important nutrition, stress-reducing activities, and nervine relaxing and tonifying herbal remedies are, including a sample recipe, and an herb focus on one of my favorite herbal adaptogens. Thank you so much for listening! I’ll be away from the podcast for two weeks, but do keep in touch and I’ll see you back here with another helpful episode then. Happy Independence Day!
