Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
In this part 5 in my "Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Are Optional" series, I'm providing my Brain Fog Friendly (BFF) Summary of adrenal glands and their role in managing stress. This is a short one, but it's important to be aware of how underactive adrenal glands can impact your health. (From my newest edition of From Fatigued to Fantastic!)

How Valerian Root Works for Anxiety & Sleep
If you’re looking for a natural option to help with anxiety, you should consider Valerian root. Those who use it say that it helps them with their anxiety. It's also touted as a sleep aid, with benefits including improvement with deep sleep and helping someone to fall asleep faster. (Note: Valerian root is one of the six ingredients in the herbal mix, Revitalizing Sleep Formula, which we have on sale this week.)
Sleep Could Be the Cure for What Ails Us
Getting good sleep is at the core of all good mental health. And COVID-19 has nearly crumbled that core. Research is showing that nearly 37% of the population have clinically developed insomnia, with 26% having anxiety and 23% depression. These are major numbers that have been associated with COVID.

Q&A of the Week
Question: My daughter was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and with that she's had severe gastro issues. We suspect it might be celiac disease. Can fibromyalgia cause celiac disease or does celiac cause fibromyalgia?
Answer: It's more so that celiac causes fibromyalgia. But fibromyalgia is associated with gluten and dairy sensitivity in many people. A simple blood test can screen for celiac, but you have to avoid gluten and dairy for a month before testing can be reliably done. That said, it's more likely that gut issues in fibromyalgia are caused by Candida or SIBO.
