When life gets busy and stressful, it can have an impact on your adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit at the top of your kidneys. They help regulate your stress response through the synthesis of corticosteroids like cortisol and catecholamines like adrenaline.
Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue
There are many symptoms but here are just a few to be aware of:
Tired, but wired – having poor sleep
Dizziness
Heart palpations
Dark circles under the eyes
Low blood sugar

Natural Ways to support Adrenals
Sleep: you must rest if you’re going to heal your adrenals. This means creating a regular sleep schedule and getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Make this a priority and stick with it. Your adrenals need their beauty sleep! Download my FREE sleep guide for more tips.
Try to limit your caffeine intake, by reducing your coffee and tea. Drink plenty of fresh, filtered water every day.
Eliminate sugar and processed carbs. Sugar and simple carbs (junk!) put stress on the adrenals. Adrenal glands help to regulate blood sugar levels.
