Your adrenal glands are responsible for making sev

Your adrenal glands are responsible for making several different hormones. Among these hormones is our main stress hormone: CORTISOL. ⠀
⠀
Depending on the individual and their respective cortisol levels, key minerals and nutrients such as the family of B-vitamins can become reduced. Many of the B family vitamins not only help to reduce the effects of stress on the body, but also serve as precursors to adrenal hormone production. ⠀
⠀
• Vitamin B1: is a protective nutrient for your adrenals and can lower stress-induced cortisol response⠀
• Vitamin B3: helps with those finding sleep challenging. It can increase REM sleep and decreases the amount of awake time as it helps with the conversion of tryptophan to melatonin⠀
• Vitamin B5: deficiency can result in compromised adrenal function⠀
• Vitamin B6: co-factor for stress-mitigating neurotransmitter formation (GABA, serotonin, and dopamine), all of which impact mood⠀
• Folate (B9): essential for the formation of BH4, which is essential for serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine production⠀
• Vitamin B12: helps reset circadian rhythms for improved sleep, normalizes cortisol levels⠀
⠀
ps...don't forget to make sure your B vitamin are in their active form. For example, Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6. Unsure of what product to try, check out our online medicinary on our website https://buff.ly/2HrsIGv.

When we are stressed, the immune system’s abilit

When we are stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off invaders declines and leaves us more susceptible to infections. This occurs as a response to the release of our main stress hormone, cortisol. During periods of stress, cortisol can lower white blood cells and natural killer cells (specialized immune cells that kill cancer). With reduced numbers of white blood cells, it can make fighting off the common cold even tougher. ⠀
⠀
I don't know about you, but I recall always feeling off after our hectic exam week in med school. Anyone else ever notice that after a stressful period they may start to feel yucky🤧🤢🤒??⠀
⠀
Keep your body healthy and ready to ward off any invader during periods of stress with these easy little tips:⠀
1. Don't skip the probiotics⠀
2. Watch the sugar ⠀
3. Self-care⠀
4. Adequate sleep ⠀
5. Medicinal mushrooms: not only support adrenal health, but many are immune supportive as well Astragalus, Cordyceps & Ganoderma to name a few.

Could stress be to blame for your diminishing libi

Could stress be to blame for your diminishing libido? Well, the simple answer is YES! You may think that it is only estrogen and testosterone that influence your libido, however our main stress hormone cortisol can gravely impact libido. ⠀
⠀
Whenever you encounter a stressful situation or are under a prolonged period of stress, your body has only one concern and that is survival. With that being said, non-essential functions such procreation, reproduction, libido, etc. take a back seat. ⠀
⠀
Furthermore, chronic stress may lead to mood changes such as depression and anxiety, which can both get in the way of libido. ⠀
⠀
But, not to fret there are things that can be done to help: ⠀
1. Self-care⠀
2. Have a healthy outlet for your stress (talking to a therapist, exercise, etc.)⠀
3. Stress management supplements and/or botanicals⠀

Stress can come in all forms such as: physical, psychological or even physiological (ex: low blood sugar). Cortisol can be both our friend and our foe. It can help et you through a challenging workout or difficult exam, but when stress becomes a constant and mismanaged it can be detrimental to your health and well-being. ⠀

In the wonderful world of botanical medicine, bota

In the wonderful world of botanical medicine, botanicals are often classified based on their actions. Adaptogens are a group of plants that help with the strengthening of the body, and a healthier stress response. ⠀
⠀
These adaptogenic plants help us deal better with stress through its interactions with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Adaptogens may tweak hormone production and physiological responses to stress to ensure that every aspect of our body is functioning optimally.⠀
⠀
Some of my favorite adaptogenic herbs, include:⠀
- Ashwagandha⠀
- Ginseng⠀
- Rhodiola⠀
- Holy Basil ⠀
- Glycyrrhiza ⠀
⠀
If you’re intrigued by the notion of incorporating adaptogens into your day-to-day, but are a tad unsure where to start, we are more than happy to help! Schedule your complimentary consultation today. A fan of adaptogens and looking for quality supplements? Head to our website and browse our online dispensary! ⠀
