QUESTION: When is fatigue more than exhaustion fro

QUESTION: When is fatigue more than exhaustion from a non-stop life?
🤔
•
To put it SIMPLY: when you are already tired thinking about the to-do list for the next day
•
In my practice I find chronic fatigue to be an extremely common symptom secondary to adrenal dysfunction (or H-P-A-axis Dysregulation)
•
When I had chronic fatigue my GP told me ➡️ “You’re probably LOW in Vitamins B & D and Iron & Magnesium — take a good multivitamin and you’ll be fine”.
•
When I returned a month later because I was still fatigued he told me it was “all in my head” and to try counseling
•
SO DISMISSIVE
👺
•
The truth is it is NOT ALWAYS about having depleted cortisol
•
Your current diet could be mismatched with your stress-response
•
This is where functional labs work magic! Zero in on the deficiencies and support the body with the RIGHT FOOD and neutraceuticals and you begin the healing process
•
It would be twenty years before I figured that ONE out! And while my fatigue starts to creep back every now and again I can immediately smash it with diet and supplements

I’ll be the FIRST to admit I drink coffee straig

I’ll be the FIRST to admit I drink coffee straight outta the gate in the morning...
•
BUT (and this is a HUGE “but”).
•
It’s after I already drank a glass of water with my liver, adrenal & gut support supplements
•
Then I meditate, pray and workout
•
I’m home from the gym around 630a to cook breakfast for the crew and that’s when I’ll either slam a protein shake or eat eggs
•
When it comes to healing your adrenal glands from chronic stress - starting your day with protein, is super important - ESPECIALLY in the morning
•
I give up coffee for a week once or twice/year but I will never. Never EVER give up on my morning coffee
•
I’m not a quitter! Haha
•
I just make it work for me - even if it means going to bed early so I can wake up super early and maintain my morning routine
•
What does your morning routine look like?

Changing careers. Getting a dog. Eating better. Ha

🛑 STOP 🛑 the madness of mood swings! REclaim

🛑 STOP 🛑 the madness of mood swings! REclaim your sanity, like, THIS WEEKEND...
▪️
In the 7 years I’ve practiced foundational health - one of my go-to protocols to reduce anxiety & depression and virtually eliminate mood swings is as easy as 1-2-3:
.
1️⃣ Intermittent fasting
.
2️⃣ Low-inflammatory diet
.
3️⃣ Targeted support
.
Seems trite, I know - but sometimes - especially in women - our metabolism just needs a swift kick in the a$$
🦵
For 3-4 weeks consuming low inflammatory foods all within 10 hours of awake time in combination with targeted liver and adrenal support supplements WORKS
.
Just promise me you won’t go buy a bunch of RANDO supplements on amazon or GNC!.
.
It’s really worth your time to reach out to a functional health practitioner to get the EXACT targeted support neutraceuticals you need
.
Holla at me if ya need
.
Cheers to reclaiming your sanity
🍸

Yup. Been THERE recently. It’s a Mood Swing & l

If you’re dealing with insomnia, there’s proba

If you’re dealing with insomnia, there’s probably one of three reasons why you can’t sleep!
😴
The main causes are: a serotonin deficiency, a GABA deficiency or chronically high cortisol
🟣
.
SEROTONIN DEFICIENCY
.
➡️Over 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in your gut, so if you’re still eating lots of sugar, processed food, fast food, convenience foods, you’re probably destroying your gut’s ability to make adequate serotonin. Without serotonin we cannot convert to an adequate amount of melatonin. These are the patient’s that typically present to me as “night owls.”
🟣
GABA DEFICIENCY

➡️GABA, also known as gamma amino butyric acid, is a “calming” neurotransmitter because it blocks impulses between nerve cells in the brain. These patients generally present to my practice feeling “overwhelmed.” They’re burnt out, they can’t loosen up, they’re dealing with anxiety, maybe even sometimes panic attacks
🟣
CHRONICALLY HIGH CORTISOL

➡️Busy people and high cortisol seem to go hand-in-hand and what we now know is that a vicious cycle exists between elevated cortisol and low serotonin. If you’re producing a lot of cortisol, you’re actually suppressing your body’s ability to produce serotonin which further suppresses the ability to convert to melatonin. You also exhaust more GABA and the cycle continues
.
EAT MORE
👇🏼
1. Omega-3 FOODS
The omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s) found in wild, cold-water fish and walnuts are anti-inflammatory! Need I say more? They aren’t called “essential” just for sh*ts & giggles :)

2. VEGGIES
Dark leafy greens like kale and spinach supply the body with a key stress management and relaxation mineral: magnesium. With so many different forms of magnesium supplementation available, always start with real, whole foods first.

3. SEEDS
Pumpkin seeds in particular are an excellent form of plant-based zinc, B vitamins and magnesium; all needed for stress management and sleep

4. FRUITS
Fruits high in Vitamin C like orange and kiwis are proven to slow the production of cortisol.

5. LEGUMES
Legumes like white beans improve sleep with a phospholipid called “phospatidylserine” known to counteract the adverse effects of cortisol

If you’ve been following me for any length of ti

If you’ve been following me for any length of time you know that twenty years ago I was a NYC commuter working in corporate America
•
I spent three to four hours per day on trains and subways (& sometimes buses!) and my ten hour days were fueled by obnoxiously large lattes
•
I had endless health issues at this time but “adrenal fatigue,” was not one of my diagnoses
•
In fact, they were: anxiety, depression, brain fog, insomnia, amenorrhea, chronic sinusitis and severe allergies
.
🟣
More about that HERE —-> https://labwellhealthcare.com/2021-adrenal-fatigue/
🟣
.
The longer I practice functional medicine I’m encountered with more and more women who minimize these symptoms
•
Blaming it on a new job, post-partum, aging, etc.
•
•
•
DO NOT MINIMIZE YOUR SYMPTOMS
•
•
“Burn-out” is very real & you can begin to heal your adrenal gland dysregulation before it gets to that point
•
(Despite what you may have read or been told 😉)
•
Know someone who’s struggling with insomnia, moodiness, brain fog, anxiety, sadness, irritability and/or a negative mindset?.
•
I’d be so honored if you LIKED 💜& shared this post with them!
