I can say with a lot of confidence, about 80% of Americans are experiencing adrenal fatigue without even looking at the actual statistics. If you’re like the rest of us (you feel tired all the time, a little bit of brain fog, lack motivation and aren’t sure where all of that is coming from), welcome to the club. The thing that sucks about it is it can hit you hard and at the most inconvenient time. So, what can you do about it? There’s a few options to try, the most obvious (and probably the hardest) option is to stress less. But you, like everyone else, have about a million things to do and not enough time in the day to do them...OK, then we have other options. 

I have been advised to schedule out “white space” in my Google Calendar. We all think “Oh, I’ll just take some ‘Me Time’ when I finish X,Y,Z’...yeah, I tell myself that all the time too, and let’s be honest, it never happens. Once I started to do this for myself I was able to do the things I WANTED to do, even organizing the pantry (What? You know you’ve dreamed of a Pinterest Pantry too.); yours could be going to a yoga class, getting a mani/pedi, playing with your kids, eating a really good meal, whatever. Give it a try this week and see if you feel slightly less stressed. 

I also am a proponent of making sure you are supporting your adrenal glands. They’re pretty important but often forgotten - there’s a lot of options to do it too. An obvious one, that we all know and may not actually follow through with, is proper diet. If you feel like you could use additional help, there are supplements that also support these organs. 

It’s best to speak with someone who can go over your health history and advise you on the proper way to take care of yourself before you go jumping into anything crazy. We can help and if we aren’t sure what to do, we always know someone who does, give us a call at (210) 323-2163.
