Stress and AdrenaSense
Q: After the leisurely days of summer I am having a hard time dealing with the stress associated with my children returning to school. I am waking up at night and feeling anxious. What can I do?
A: After raising four children I know how stressful the month of September can be on a mom. All those school supplies to purchase, shoe shopping and teacher meetings; plus just having to get everyone up and out the door on time every morning along with completing homework at night can take its toll. Many women suffer from adrenal exhaustion, also called adrenal burnout. The adrenal glands help balance female hormones and secrete cortisol—our stress hormone. Through a feedback mechanism the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland are connected. Often when the adrenals are taxed due to increased stress, thyroid hormone output declines and we end up with low thyroid and adrenal burnout. The symptoms of adrenal exhaustion include insomnia where you fall asleep fine but wake up throughout the night and have a hard time falling back to sleep, salt cravings, the need to use stimulants like coffee and tea to get going and diffculty handling stress. The adrenal glands are so important to hormone balance for women, especially in the peri-menopause and menopause years, as these glands produce estrogen and other sex hormones. Reducing stress, eating an exceptionally healthy diet while finding a balance between work and play will help the adrenals do their job better. AdrenaSense, a combination of Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Schizandra Berry, Siberian ginseng and Suma, support the adrenals for fast relief.
Take two capsules of AdrenaSense at 3:00 in the afternoon to help you deal with stress, anxiety and provide deep restful sleep. You should also limit your coffee intake to one cup per day and drink plenty of AdrenaTea to nourish your adrenal glands.
