Adrenal Health
These articles can help you understand common factors that may affect your wellness. They are short, to the point, and easy to understand. In them, I go over fatigue, natural adrenal function, and treatments, and I explain a variety of natural and effective techniques that support thyroid health and recovery. Let me explain:
- The causes of adrenal fatigue
- How to use levothyroxine effectively
- Ways to reduce (or eliminate) thyroid medications
- How you can live without a thyroid
- How to recover thyroid function
- How comorbidities complicate recovery, and more!
Each article contains a topic that is important for adrenal health and is essential information for many of my patients. I go over matters like iodine levels, sugar cravings, depression, the most common causes of high reverse T3, the kind of hormone test you should be looking at, and more.
My strategies for better adrenal health include natural fatigue-fighting treatments that may help you regain your vitality, manage your weight, and boost your quality of life.
