Adrenal stress effects many people today due to the high levels of stress we face day to day. If we experience to much stress in our lives our adrenal glands can get out of whack and release to much cortisol into our blood. The cortisol in our blood effects the brain, our immune system, muscles, blood sugar levels, circulations and more.

Symptoms of adrenal stress

  • Our energy levels fall
  • We have a hard time remembering things
  • We feel mildly depressed
  • Our sex drive drops
  • We cant sleep
  • We suffer from restlessness
Do these symptoms sound familiar? If you are not sure if you suffer from Adreanl Stress a simple saliva test can determine if your cortisol levels are too high or to low.
How to reduce high cortisol

Use supplements specifically for adrenal stress

Eat healthy regular meals every day. Skipping meals creates a cortisol release

Eat complex carbohydrates instead of just carbohydrates

Learn simple breathing exercises. This sounds simple but can relax the body

Keep a regular sleeping schedule of at least 8 hours a night

Avoid to much coffee or those energy drinks that are so popular today. This only compounds the problem
