Hangry = Adrenal Fatigue

Sugar cravings?
Irritable when hungry?
Anxious?
Crash with stress?
Recurrent viral infections?

These are all symptoms that our adrenal "stress handler" glands are fatigued. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, which is a stress hormone that keeps blood sugar from crashing during stress. It also regulates our immune defense systems.

Chronic stress can exhaust your adrenal stress handler glands, which results in not enough cortisol being made in your body. When that happens, you begin to experience some, or all, of the symptoms listed above. But once you recognize that's what's happening, you can easily take steps to improve your adrenal function. Here's how:

1. Drink more water and eat more salt (unless you have high blood pressure or heart failure).
2. Turn off and tune out the things that leave you feeling bad. Including media reporting that tries to scare you to death and to hate half the population who they'll tell you is "on the other side." So if it feels bad to watch, listen or read what they're saying, just turn it off and ignore it (assuming the news isn't so earth shattering that doing so would somehow lead to your become divorced or homeless).
3. Cut down on your sugar intake, because excessive sugar in your food puts you on an emotional roller coaster. This will be easier once you begin the adrenal support below.
4. Take 1-2 capsules each morning of a supplement called Adrenaplex®. This is a mix of nine nutrients, herbals, and adrenal glandulars that do a great job of keeping your adrenal glands healthy. People typically find that their energy and mood smooth out in just the first few days of use.
