Too Tired No More


Exhausted, Worn Out and Dragging Through Your Day? Check this out!

There are two little glands on top of your kidneys that control so many functions of your body that it is ridiculous!. Are you someone who eats too much white flour and sugar, and washes it down with coffee or soda while you stress yourself out day after day? Perhaps you are someone who falls out of your meditation trance and get all angry and frustrated over real problems or minor annoyances. Well, then you especially can benefit so much from reading this.

The adrenals are supposed to clean you up, keep things running smoothly by controlling over 80 hormones, including the sex hormones. They even go into overdrive by releasing cortisol if you are threatened. Adrenals are tough little fighters. Yet, sometimes if you get a really bad cold, have a baby or get a high stress hit that wounds you, the little glands cannot get back up.

Eventually, the adrenal glands go on strike, quietly, with no fanfare or much warning. However, it is like cutting the brake line on your car. You do not even realize your body is in trouble and you keep right on pushing yourself. Each day more and more of you does not repair or recover and major bodily functions start to get out of sync.

You try to compensate for your weary, ill feeling by depending more and more on fake energy from caffeine and white carbohydrates, booze or even painkillers. Your doctor might tell you to take it easy or (gasp) that you are just getting old. Meanwhile, those little glands refuse to go back to work for you and unfortunately, they control all kinds of secondary teams that cannot function without adrenal orders.

Can’t sleep? Nose running constantly? Fat gut that does not budge? Low sex drive? Everything seems too much work…even fun things? Suddenly aging really fast? No energy at all?

Yes, all those symptoms can be a result of your overworked adrenals that can literally quit, or slow down to a crawl…and soon thereafter, so do you.

If you are lucky enough to have escaped adrenal fatigue, take a moment to look around you. Do you have a friend, perhaps your spouse or your parent, who was once happy and full of life? Do you see him or her now drag around exhausted and irritated, complaining of every little ache and pain? Sounds like someone may have run their little adrenals into the dirt.

Hark, there is a fairly easy recovery….O.K. it’s kinda hard because it starts with no caffeine, not in coffee, black tea, chocolate or super sized colas. Eating the pills with weird crushed bovine parts is a little iffy until the day that you suddenly find yourself happy and energetic again. Taking the supplements gives the little slackers time to rest, sometimes six months to two years and then they miraculously show up for work again like nothing was ever wrong.

Making the necessary lifestyle and dietary changes sounds impossible until you feel so lousy that you have to do something, anything, just to feel better. One of the leading experts on the subject and where I got my information is James L. Wilson, author of Adrenal Fatigue. The guy has 3 doctorate degrees and 2 master’s degrees, still his book is easy to read and is helping many people recover from ever having to say, “I’m just too tired, Honey.”
