If you have low energy on the daily, there’s a good chance your adrenals are “fatigued.”Your adrenal glands are responsible for creating hormones, including the stress hormones cortisol, adrenalin, and aldosterone. When you’re under constant stress, you adrenals are busy pumping out those stress hormones and they get overworked.Creating all those hormones and handling stress requires nutrients. More stress = more nutrients depleted.So it’s important to replenish those minerals and support our adrenals. Of course this is just one piece of the puzzle - not a cure-all. It’s also important to look at what’s causing you stress and address that.To make the adrenal cocktail you’ll need: 🍊1 Cup Pulp-free Orange Juice (preferably organic) - Vitamin C is one nutrient that is depleted with stress because…stress hormones are MADE from Vitamin C. And not getting an adequate amount of this nutrient during stress causes problems. OJ also provides us with glucose which is our body’s preferred source of energy. 🥥1 Cup Coconut Water - it’s a great source of Potassium, which aids Vitamin C and is needed for energy production. 🥛Splash of Whole Milk - good quality milk (preferably raw milk from grass-fed cows) has tons of great nutrients including calcium & magnesium. It’s also got good saturated fat, which we need to make hormones and help balance our blood sugar - another very important part of the puzzle in overcoming fatigue. 🧂1/2 tsp Sea Salt - this provides us with Sodium as well as other trace minerals we need (as long as you’re using SEA salt and NOT iodized salt). Some people get scared about this one, but for *most* people, salt does not actually cause high blood pressure. Salt is such an important food that we could not live without and is ESSENTIAL to energy production.Instead of getting through your afternoon slump with coffee, get those minerals in and nourish your adrenals!Let me know if you try this and what you think! #adrenalfatigue #adrenalcocktail #chronicfatigue #metabolismbooster

When you’re in a state of stress or feel anxiety coming on, it’s important to make sure you’re nourishing your body and providing it the nutrients it needs. Here are some great and not so great foods for when you’re feeling stressed:👍Bone Broth - it’s full of minerals including magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus as well as anti-inflammatory amino acids. 👍Avocados - they’re a great source of magnesium, which is the #1 nutrient that gets depleted when we’re stressed AND it helps us manage stress. It’s one that so many people are deficient in. Avocados are also a great source Vitamin B6 which helps create serotonin and contributes towards good mood. 👎🏻Almonds - almonds, almond butter, and almond milk have been touted as being such healthy foods, and most if us are getting WAY too many nuts and seeds in our diet. Almonds contain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which ADD to our stress load and slow down our metabolism. Almonds and other nuts also contain anti-nutrients like lectins and phytates which block the absorption of that magnesium we need lots of during times of stress. 👍Coffee - I love my coffee and it does have benefits. Most of the time I do fine on coffee when it’s balanced with some fat, protein, and natural sugar. However, when I feel stressed, coffee is not what I need. Caffeine increases cortisol levels when you’re already stressed. So it’s definitely worth taking a break from it during those times. 👎🏻Salad - Again, at times and in moderation salads can be great, but when you’re stressed, not so much. Salads are made with a bunch of raw veggies which contain insoluble fiber. We don’t digest that. It adds bulk to our stool and feeds our gut bacteria. That’s great! But too much fiber, puts more on our already stressed body, causes gut problems, and increases toxins in our body (from stool not moving out fast enough). 👍Cooked sweet potatoes - cooked vegetables are MUCH easier for the body to digest so lead to less stress. And root vegetables have less anti-nutrients than other vegetables so we get those great nutrients like potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B6.

Craving a salty snack that’s healthier?Look at the ingredients! Choose one that’s minimally processed and one that doesn’t use highly processed oils like vegetable, canola, or soybean oil. These oils are easily oxidized or damaged. They also have a high Omega-6 content which can cause inflammation.OR, better yet, choose a snack that doesn’t have an ingredient list.Some great healthy salty snack options: 🍿Plantain chips 🍿Sardines 🍿Olives 🍿Popcorn cooked in coconut oil 🍿Walnuts 🍿Pumpkin seeds#healthysnacks #healthysaltysnacks #saltysnack #saltysnacks #plantainchips #healthyfood #holistichealth #afpa #afpastudent #holistichealthcoach #holisticnutritionist #healthandwellnesscoach #brittbringsithome #healthyfoodo
