Many of us go about our day in a rush. Making no time to even breathe and feel the tension in our bodies. It is important to take time in the day to slow the pace down with deep breaths before each transition you make during the day. For example, before you leave the house in the morning, take a few deep breaths. Stress can play a huge role in the way that we feel. Chronic stress releases cortisol which over time causes fatigue. This increase in cortisol plays a huge role on our thyroid and ovaries/uterus.
Signs and Symptoms– do you experience any of these?
Adrenals: fatigue, exhausted, low blood pressure
Thyroid-dry skin, hair loss, cold hands and feet, weight gain/or difficult to lose, thyroid nodules, hypothyroidism
Ovaries/Uterus– menstrual issues, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts
Naturopathic Treatments
- Develop a sleep routine- same time every night. Routine is the best to help regulate YOUR adrenals.
- Better stress perception
- Supplements- many herbs are used to help regulate your adrenals and thyroid to improve symptoms.
- Salt/water shot- this can help increase blood pressure to improve your adrenal function
- Hormone balance to reduce estrogen load to help shrink cysts and fibroids.
- Homeopathic remedies are used to reset any menstrual issues based on the moon cycle
My job is to figure out where the cycle began to go wrong. Treatment is required to teach the body what to do again so that you can begin to feel better. Goal? 3 months in a row symptom-free lets me know that we are treating the root cause of the cycle.
