20. Self -care strategies to support your adrenals in stressful seasons

Self-care is important all the time, especially for those of us with autoimmune disease, but it can take on a whole new meaning when you’re heading into what you know will be a stressful season. Perhaps you’re working on healing your adrenals, or maybe you just want to really be proactive about NOT landing yourself in adrenal dysfunction. And, if you’re someone who is dealing with hypothyroidism, then there’s a 90% chance that you also have some level of adrenal dysfunction.... so you're wise to be concerned!

When our adrenals aren’t functioning properly then our stress response isn’t firing correctly,... we’ve got cortisol spikes at the wrong time and a number of physical symptoms that show up. PLUS- that messed up stress response actually impacts our thyroid hormones, as what's happening in the adrenals is tightly connected to our thyroid.

In this episode, we’re talking about adrenal dysfunction and self-care. We’ll get into what adrenal dysfunction is and how it's connected to thyroid health. We'll talk through some of the most impactful things that you can do to support your adrenals when you're in a stressful season of life, as well as resolve adrenal dysfunction through self-care and nourishing your body….and of course, I have a few simple shifts that you can do to start making an impact in this area today.

Glad you're here,
