Rushes of Adrenaline? Part 4

What are some symptoms of low cortisol?

• fatigue


• irritability


• foggy mind


• disorganization


• low energy


• lack of initiative


• salt cravings
  

Sound familiar? When these symptoms occur, people then typically treat them by reaching for the “Band-Aid” of 20 ounce cup(s) of coffee with the works, and that, my friends, is going to make things worse. At Pareja Medical Center, we see patients with these symptoms all the time.

Is there hope? There is! Is there proof? There is! Some simple testing of saliva and urine can be key to revealing the doors that will help us solve the issue you are facing.

Proper diet, the regular supplementation of nutrients and fiber to your diet and the elimination of alcohol and stimulants as a normal part of your lifestyle will combat adrenal malfunction. I will mention some nutrients that are excellent supplements:

• Vitamins C, B Complex


• Calcium


• Magnesium


• Magnolia bark


• L-Thearmine


• Epimedram


• Phosphatidyl serine (to reduce cortisone levels)

To treat adrenal stress, consider taking Panax Gingseng, Ashwagandha or Rhodiol. For sleep support try Phosphorylated Serine Melatonin (preferably under the tongue).
