Adrenal Health Talk Recap from Prairie Market

In case you weren't in the audience at Prairie Market last week, here are the notes that were handed out.  There was a great crowd...somewhere between 20 and 25 listening ears.  We are so tickled for this winning alliance with Prairie Market in Harrison, AR. 

Adrenal Fatigue: An Epidemic in our Stressed-Out World

So what’s the big deal about the adrenal gland?
The adrenal gland helps you respond to stress & or changes in your environment

• When this gland is fatigued due to ongoing stressors and pressures,

it leads to:

1. High blood pressure
2. Digestive disturbances

(Acid reflux, IBS, gas & bloating)

3. Weight gain – especially around the midsection
4. Joint pain
5. Disrupted sleep
6. Diminished sex drive and hormonal imbalance

• Sleep wake cycle disruption:

- Cortisol must drop, melatonin must go up.  Many people have inverted day & night      chemistry

- Restoring the adrenal gland is essential to helping you be awake and alert during the day and unconscious at night.

• Dr. Wayne’s adrenal health recommendations: clinical and do-it-yourself remedies:

1. Adrenal Supplement - Prairie Market has a good one.  Need to watch out for  adrenal supplements that have licorice if hypertension is a concern.

2. Acupuncture - Balance the meridians to right your world.

3. Chiropractic - Have sacrum and cervicals adjusted regularly.

4. Settle down for sleep. Lights Out, TV off, Shhhhhh!

5. Create peace for yourself - decide, forgive, etc.
