Pillar of Health #4 - Nurture the Adrenal Glands

Continuous stress causes the adrenal glands to become fatigued.  The adrenals play a major role in overall health.  If the adrenals are not supported, regaining health is like walking uphill backwards in six inches of sand.  It can be done, but it is very difficult.  Adrenal health is important in metabolism, hormone balance, stable moods, daily energy needs and sleep cycles.  Often, taking an adrenal support is not enough.  It can help, but the amount of stress that the body perceives overloads the stress axis telling the brain that there is always an emergency to contend with.  Finding a practitioner that understands how to reduce the load on the stress axis while supporting the adrenals will provide a fantastic benefit to the entire body and allow for accelerated healing.
