Adrenal Fatigue and Stress

Theoretically stage 1 adrenal fatigue is a lot easier to recover from than stage 3 – if you can get the client to do the work.

The problem with stage 1 – tired and wired – is that these people still have a decent amount of energy, so it’s harder to get then to slow down and give their adrenals a rest. They still have the go-go-go mentality.

It’s often helpful to give them soothing and calming herbs and nutrients while working on getting them to be consistent with stress transformation breaks and resting.

I’m noticing that with some of the people on the CAFE program, the stage one people are eager to jump ahead to the supplements and herbs, without first addressing the underlying cause – stress.

Here’s a link to an article about adrenal health that I wrote a while back:
