STRESS

1. Stress, anxiety and an overthinking churning mind.

These current uncertain times together with work, family and chronic inflammation can make us feel anxious, out of control and overwhelmed. If you are in a stressed out and anxious state, then your immune system is going to suffer… You know that feeling when even the smallest thing sets us off? I know I certainly have difficulty switching off my mind at the best of times. Yet in these uncertain times, I want to make sure I stay as centered as possible...

Lucky:

  • Astragalus

  • Lions Mane

  • Rhodiola

  • Resveratrol

  • Holy Basil

Are all what we call ‘adaptogenic’ ingredients. That means they adapt to your body’s unique needs...and keep you calm and stress-free.

2. Sleep - Research shows women need 8 hrs and men 7. Sleep is when you do all your rest and repair. Reach out if you need sleep support it’s so important.

3. Food - Lots of veggies- the rainbow and high-quality protein. No food like substances, no white flour, no sugar. Contact us if you’d like our food protocol.

4. Move - You want to move in a way that supports your stress response - keep stress low - walk, swim, yoga or Pilates are best for the adrenals.

In best of health.
