THE MIND-SET OF ADRENAL HEALTH

When you exercise a muscle, and it is sore the next day, you rest it for a few days, and that is usually sufficient. Very simple. The same process of resting is needed for your adrenal glands, but that cannot happen if you are in the never-ending loop of cortisol production.

The answer is to address the root issues that cause adrenal fatigue. Then your body can shake off the symptoms. For me, I was the super-busy, type A person. I worked crazy long hours, tried to meet the needs of forty to fifty patients every day, managed a growing practice, wrote books, spoke in churches and on TV and the radio in my “off” time, and exercised every weekday. Basically I burned the candle at both ends.

I was far too busy. All combined to tire out my adrenals, which, technically speaking, hurt my T4-to-T3 conversion and lowered my active T3, and I developed symptoms accordingly. How did I fix the real problem? I had to learn how to:

• say no more than I said yes

• not get in a hurry

• slow down

• get into God’s rhythm and stay there (It’s a flow.)

• breathe, relax, and go with the flow

• not push and strive

• not fight the riptide of life

I also stopped working on Saturdays, stopped taking calls in the middle of the night, and saw fewer patients. My psoriasis, IBS, chronic fatigue, and chronic sinusitis were stressing my adrenals as well. I actually needed small doses of cortisol to help reboot my system. Because my adrenals and cortisol levels were almost flatlined, pushing my adrenals way too far and dealing with chronic illness, it took me six to nine months to reboot my adrenal glands.

Overall, dealing with adrenal glands includes the element of mental changes, behavioral therapy, and reframing work, and that holds true for all of us. Most of our stresses are mental and emotional stress. Seldom is it only physical.
