Adrenal Fatigue
Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and are
responsible for many hormonal jobs in your body,
including regulating the stress hormone cortisol.
Adrenal glands activate the flight or fight mechanism to give you
enough cortisol and blood sugar to make it through the stressful
event. Then, cortisol, blood pressure, and blood sugar return
to normal.
The problem is, most of us in modern day society
experience chronic stressors, so our adrenals
never get to rest.
Adrenal fatigue is categorized as a dysregulation of
cortisol.
Adrenal fatigue stages 1-4:
Cortisol is too high, then excessively low
Symptoms of adrenal fatigue:• Wired but tired

Sleep
Sleep is of the utmost importance to healthy
living!
Tips for healthy sleep:
• Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day • No technology 2-3 hours before bed • Have a warm bath with magnesium salts and
chamomile tea • No caffeine after lunch • Regulate sleep and wake cycles by going outdoors
in the morning, at noon, and at sundown • Create a sleep sanctuary with comfortable bedding
and PJs • Use aromatherapy such as lavender • Exercise
Technology: friend or foe?
Technology is supposed to make our lives easier-but does it? We are now “on” and
available 24/7.
Set boundaries around technology.
