Bust the Stress: How to Help Cure Adrenal Fatigue

Have you been watching the news, and now feel very stressed out? Well, if you’ve been stressed more than usual lately, you might be experiencing adrenal fatigue. Keep on scrolling down to how to help cure adrenal fatigue effectively.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

Let’s dive into biology 101. Your adrenal glands produce different hormones that are essential to the function of your body. They’re about the size of a nickel and sit above your kidneys. One of the hormones that they produce is cortisol, which correlates to stress. Adrenal fatigue happens when you push your body to the point where it is experiencing chronic stress. When this happens, your body stops producing cortisol as it should. Adrenal fatigue causes various symptoms, including body aches, fever, fatigue, nervousness, low energy, and digestive problems.

How to Help Cure Adrenal Fatigue

Since adrenal fatigue is rooted in long-term stress, you would need to make some lifestyle changes to start feeling better. One of those is cleaning up your diet. Start by cutting out (or drastically reducing) sugar and alcohol from your diet, and replace those with fruits and vegetables and a better sugar alternative such as Pyure. You also might want to improve your sleep, as not getting enough sleep or not getting the right sleep quality could prevent you from feeling better. Some tips to get better sleep include reducing your blue light exposure before going to bed and not consuming too much caffeine or sugar late in the day. You also can try reducing your naps and perhaps take a melatonin supplement  or a sleep aid tea to help you fall asleep faster.

Vitamin Supplements

Another way to help cure adrenal fatigue is to take supplements that help relieve your system of stored tension while boosting energy levels. Magnesium, B complex, Vitamin C, and Zinc are just some supplements that can help, as they are key components in vital bodily functions. If you’re looking to feel the effects of vitamins quickly,  IV therapy is best, as it delivers the vitamins directly to your bloodstream, making them 100% bioavailable to your body.  Ya’ll know how much I love my IV therapy, and it is the most effective way to get the nutrients you need, bypassing that finicky gut that can slow down or completely stop the nutrients from getting to the right places.

Stress Management

The best way to cure adrenal fatigue fast is stress management. After all, stress is what got you here in the first place. Managing your stress can be aided through meditation for a couple of minutes every day (I love insight timer), as well as intentional exercising for about 20-30 minutes every day. You can also work with a therapist or coach on how to manage the causes of stress in your life.  Lastly, unplugging yourself from your device and getting off social media can also help you feel less stressed (get rid of the media and watch how you will immediately feel better).

So, the answer to the question “how to cure adrenal fatigue?” can be put simply in two words: reduce stress.
