Adrenal Fatigue? Here Are Some Foods To Avoid
Do you always feel fatigued? Are you overwhelmingly stressed? Do you suffer from frequent illness, anxiety, or poor concentration? These are all signs of adrenal fatigue and by eating properly you could alleviate some of your symptoms.

If you suffer from adrenal fatigue, which means the ability of your adrenal glands to carry out their normal functions has decreased, usually due to over stimulation, you may also tend to be hypoglycemic. In order for hypoglycemia to be diagnosed, our doctors typically run a modified Glucose Tolerance Test. If you took the testing one step further and received the whole Hauser Diet Typing package (additional blood pH testing and nutritional evaluation), many people with hypoglycemia tend to type out as a Otters or Lions on the Hauser Diet scale.

Hypoglycemia can cause a person to feel tired and consistently hungry. The combination of low energy and high hunger is not a good one for losing weight or maintaining health. Although a person suffering from this may also need to be on a supplement program to help the adrenal glands, incorporating the right foods and eliminating the wrong ones can provide huge benefits. When we’re tired, sugary foods and caffeine are the usual choices we grab for a quick “pick me up”. However, these are the worst possible choices for a person with adrenal fatigue. Below is a list of foods to choose, foods to avoid, and why to do so.

Foods to Avoid

Foods to Choose

Coffee-contains caffeine which will stimulate your adrenal gland even more

Foods high in protein-will help stabilize blood sugars

Fruit-contains sugar, it may be natural sugars, but sugar is sugar in this case. Especially try to eliminate from breakfast when blood sugars tend to be their lowest

Healthy fats (essential oils and nuts)-will help stabilize blood sugar and provide necessary nutrients

Sugar-will increase hypoglycemia

Natural/Organic foods-will decrease the amount of toxins the body has to handle

White flour products-will increase hypoglycemia

High fiber foods-can help alleviate constipation which can occur during stress

Cola-contains caffeine and unnatural substances, as well as sugar.

Complex Carbohydrates - are a better carbohydrate choice for blood sugar stabilization, try to pair it up with a protein source

Chocolate-also contains caffeine and sugar!

Bright colored vegetables - great source of antioxidants

By incorporating the right foods into your diet you can not only improve your adrenal fatigue, you can also see an improvement in your overall health. Although many of the “foods to avoid” are not typically recommended on any of the Hauser Diets, it is important for a person suffering from adrenal fatigue to know why they specifically should not eat them! As previously stated, diet alone may not be the answer to adrenal fatigue.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
