Medicines and Sex – Not a very Good Combination

Sex is suppose to give people comfort and pleasure, when sex is delivering the opposite then you and your partner need to seek for treatment.

Many relationships, marriages are suffocating and happiness is literally missing and has no place in many relationships because of bedroom problems. I am talking about sexual discomfort experienced in most relationships today. This could be due to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and inadequate flow of blood to the penis or any other malfunctions. It is true that both men and woman are equally affected and it takes a complex chain of events to move from arousal to satisfying orgasm. The following must be properly balanced for this to be achieved:

The mind has to stay focused
The nerves have to stay sensitive
The blood has to flow to all the right places

Much as we desire to have all these to function properly many at times this is not so and often things can break the chain including even the pills you were prescribed for to offer solution. The medical professionals will tell you that medicines often work by making alterations in your blood flow and the brain chemistry it is therefore no surprise that these medicine may affect your sexual function negatively. Careful attention should be taken when using medications because the truth is medications can rip off a person’s sex drive, delay orgasm or even prevent orgasm completely and may even cause an erectile dysfunction in men.

It takes great sacrifice to build a relationship and sexual matters should not be the reason why you are experiencing problems, therefore if you are noticing certain signs of drop in your ability to have or enjoy sex, you must take the most appropriate step of finding timely solutions to this problem before it is too late. Talking to doctor Dalal Akoury will be the best thing you can do for yourself and to your relationship. Doctor Akoury is available and she is only a phone call away, you don’t have to worry when you’re being attended by this great doctor who has been in this discipline for over two decades. It may not matter the kind of medication you were using before, during your one on one consultation with the doctor she will evaluate your situation and eliminate all your worries.

Medicines and Sex – Drugs affecting your sexual function

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor are a class of compounds characteristically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders and some personality disorders. These drugs are very common in television adverts for antidepressants such as Paxil (paroxetine) or Zoloft (sertraline) mention “certain sexual side effects.” The real point is that for some people, SSRI antidepressants can put their desire on hold and make it difficult for them to achieve orgasm. Recent findings have established that for every six women using SSRIs one will have fresh sexual problems. In another study reported in The American Family Physician it was established that up to one-half of patients taking SSRIs have reported sexual problems. Study results vary depending on the patients studied and the questions asked, but the final message is the same which is sexual side effects caused by SSRIs are common.

As I have already stated if SSRIs or any other kind of medication for that matter is affecting your sex life call and talk to doctor Akoury. As reported in the current Psychiatry Reports if you can get hold of it there are very many options to get you back on track and doctor Akoury will in your consultation with her help you regain your sex life upon evaluation and may advice on either Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) or Priapus Shot ® depending on your situation I recommend that you call this experienced doctor to not only regain your sex life but also to revive and add value to your fading relationship.

Medicines and Sex – Blood pressure medications

Are you suffering from high blood pressure and you are on medication? It must interest you to know that most drugs used in controlling high blood pressure like diuretics and beta blockers which are very common can affects ones sex life. These drugs can cause erectile dysfunction in men however when they are taken by women, they can diminish sexual desire. It is important to note that switching from one drug to another may not necessarily offer you a solution when it comes to high blood pressure’s medications. Doctor Akoury will help you determine the best medical solution for you based on your unique circumstances. For instance the following medications will work differently as follows:

Medicines and Sex – Opioid (narcotic) painkillers

Opioids such as morphine or Oxycontin (oxycodone) go beyond pain elimination. One of its side effects is that it is capable of reducing the production of testosterone and other hormones which are very essential in facilitating sexual drive desires in both men and women. The sexual side effects of opioids haven’t been thoroughly investigated; however preliminary studies paint a disappointing picture according to reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism where a study of 73 men and women receiving spinal infusions of opioids uncovered widespread sexual problems. 95% of the men and 68% of the women reported a drop in sex drive and all of the premenopausal women either developing irregular periods or stopped menstruating completely.

Medicines and Sex – Antihistamines

Several over the counters medications can affect your sex life negatively. A very good example is Antihistamines. A study established that these drugs can cause erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems in men and as for women, antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness. This is only a partial list I have given but other drugs that can affect a person’s sex life include oral contraceptives, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cholesterol medications. I do not know what you are using but one thing I know is that medicine and sex is not a very good combination and I strongly recommend that what you’re using call or visit AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care for proper evaluation and lasting solution that will restore your relationship and sexual pleasure for a very long time.

Sexual Dysfunction Disorder

August 21, 2014

Sexual Dysfunction Disorder – Substance Abuse

Sexual Dysfunction Disorder brings with it lots of frustrations in relationships. You can get your sex life back by the application of Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®)

There are certain things we may take for granted and ignore but they will still find there ways back to haunt us. Take for example sex which is a very private thing and is done very privately when it is not satisfying to the engaging partners then its effect will come out in the open to the embracement of the sexual partners. Therefore sexual dysfunction is a condition that affects many men and women in their lifetime. The condition covers a range of sexual problems including erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation in men, pain associated with intercourse, low libido and poor response to sexual contact. Drugs and alcohol are known to affect a person’s sexual behavior, ability to function and sensations. Drugs and alcohol are often taken as a way to hide psychological or emotional problems or to ignore physical difficulties that are contributing to sexual dysfunction. There are four main classifications of sexual dysfunction disorders in which doctor Akoury can be of great help to you to restore your sexual fulfillment and also to recover from all kinds of addiction, the classifications include:

Sexual desire
Sexual arousal
Orgasm
Sexual pain disorders

It is important to note that each of these categories has distinct symptoms, yet all are negatively contributed to by drugs and alcohol. Some drugs have been found to make sexual problems worse, others are milder. Regardless of the way you look at it, sexual problems can cause major relationship and psychological problems if not addressed. To avoid instances where your hard earn relationship is being ruined by conditions which can be easily corrected, I will recommend that you call for help from the experts and doctor Dalal Akoury who is not only an expert in a matters addiction but also very much knowledgeable in sex and many other discipline will be able to professionally bring lasting remedies to you condition.

Sexual Desire Disorders

Sexual desire disorders are more commonly referred to as a loss or decrease in libido. The influential enemies of this condition may include substances, fatigue, depression or anxiety. Some medications like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications are known to cause a loss of libido. Alcohol and other substances can also negatively impact on a persons’ libido. Fatigue associated with an alcohol or drug binge may also affect a person’s desire to have sex.

Chronic, long term marijuana use is a serious contributor to loss of libido and more so in women. This lack of sex drive is a symptom of bigger motivational issues that many people suffer when using this drug. For the most part, a persons’ sex drive will return to normal with discontinuation of using marijuana.

Sexual Arousal Disorder

Alcohol consumption is the enemy number one when it comes to one’s ability to be aroused and maintain that arousal because it greatly affects the brain which is a key component to sexual satisfaction. Sexual arousal disorder is therefore that condition which is associated with getting erection and maintaining it and for women it is all about being able to maintain arousal all through the sexual intercourse. Besides alcohol, cocaine and other stimulants can also cause people to experience difficulties in becoming aroused or maintaining that desired level of arousal during in intercourse.

Orgasm Disorder

Men and women often find they have trouble attaining the desired orgasm or climax especially when under the influence of alcohol other substances. It is worth noting that women are very sensitive to the effect that drugs can have on their ability to orgasm and men can have premature or delayed ejaculation as a result of being high or drunk. Most orgasm disorders, or anorgasmia, are the result of undiagnosed or untreated psychological issues that a person is suffering. Chronic fatigue and insomnia can also affect a persons’ ability to achieve a normal level of orgasm. Opiate addiction is known to cause anorgasmia.

Anorgasmia can cause significant personal and relationship problems. Frustration arising from an inability to orgasm despite stimulation and arousal can cause irreversible relationship breakdowns, especially in the case of men. For women the disorder is more common and can lead to unhappiness, depression and feelings of inadequacy. All these complications are very serious and needs an urgent remedy which can only be realized in the care of experts. For instance a visit to AWAREmed Health and Resource Center a facility established by doctor Dalal Akoury is one of the best places you can have your disturbing condition professionally addressed. calling on doctor Akoury will be the starting point and she will handle your problem with great level of confidentiality while offering both Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) and Priapus Shot ® in the most painless way to rain-state your sexual life, she will also work on your addiction problem in the most natural way purposely to attain full recovery and by the time she is done with all these conditions you will not only have our sex life back but you whole life in a relaxed and sober state of mind.

Sexual Pain Disorder

Sexual pain disorders are almost exclusively a female-only condition. This disorder causes a woman to feel immense pain and discomfort during intercourse and sexual interactions. There are two main types of this disorder, dyspareunia or painful intercourse and vaginismus which is an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles. This condition is believed to be caused by psychological concerns, especially anxiety about sex or being the victim of sexual assault or trauma.

When to see a doctor

If you have an ongoing sexual difficulties like what we have discussed above it will be important that make an appointment with your doctor. It may feel embarrassing to talk about sex with your doctor, but this topic is impeccably suitable. A satisfying sex life is important to a woman’s well-being at every age and stage of life and this is what will be waiting for you at AWAREmed Health and Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury. Your part is only to call and book for an appointment with the expert, remember that doctor Akoury will be very flexible to your time schedule and so how busy you’re will not cause any delay because your time will be the best time for commencement of great sex life a head.

Stress Relief and Cancer

July 29, 2014

Stress Relief Is Essential in Cancer Care
Stress Cancer is a disease that has caused much pain and has made us victims in one way or the other. The moment a person receives a news that he has cancer, fear become his uninvited companion as no one is ever sure of surviving the disease even with availability of many alternative cancer treatments in the hospitals. Researchers have done lots of work to ease this feeling but history knows that very many people have lost their lives to the disease. Some of the people who lost their lives did not die because of the disease itself but because the treatment was not holistic enough to suppress all the tension that the patient had. Cancer treatment is not just about injecting the patient with drugs that are aimed at killing the cancer cells. This approach of cancer treatment may not succeed because a cancer patient goes through lots of psychological trauma that needs to be addressed as well during the treatment and this is the reason why having an integrative cancer doctor attend to your cancer patient can be very beneficial as they focus on the whole person healing that is the body, the spirit and the mind. Stress is a culprit in cancer treatment and so needs to be addressed well for the cancer treatment to be effective. The patient needs to obtain a peace of mind for the drugs to have effect on the patient. Stress has been mentioned by many researchers as a factor that may make cancer treatment even more complicated.

Stress causes cancer

Many medical research findings have linked stress to cancer. Researchers have found that a gene ATF3 is a crucial link between cancer and stress. The gene is activated during stressful conditions in all types of cells, in normal conditions the gene can protect the body since incase of dangerous stressors; the normal cells can commit suicide to avoid the spread of the poison to other cells.

The researchers however proved that the cancerous cells will coax the immune system that have been put in place closer to the tumors to influence the expression of the ATF3 gene hence makes the ATF3 to inhibit the activity of immune cells making them to act erratically and allow the cancer cells to spread from the tumor to other parts of the body. In that manner stress is linked to metastasis.

It is highly recommended for a cancer patient to engage in practices that helps in reducing the stress levels in the body which in a broader way will help in reducing your risk of getting cancer. The patient ought to be well taken care of by avoiding all stressful conditions.

Stress relief is not only important to those who are already sick of cancer, stress relief is necessary for those who are not sick as well. This is because stress may make a person to involve in unhealthy behaviors like smoking, drinking alcohol and having multiple sexual partners all in a bit to find relief. Smoking tobacco is a major cause of lung cancer while having multiple sexual partners is known to cause cervical cancer.

How to relieve stress in a cancer patient

To relieve stress we need something that may distract the patient from his streams of hopeless thoughts. There are a number of activities that may help a patient be relieved of stress but still the person’s attitude towards the activity will matter so it is important to incorporate the patient’s likes and feelings in every strategy towards stress relief.

Reflexology

Reflexology involves the practice of massaging or applying pressure to various acupressure points on the body with the goal of reducing stress and supporting overall health. This however needs to be done by a qualified integrative cancer doctor in order to reap the desired benefits.

Sound therapy CD

Sound therapy is effective in stress relief in cancer patients. It involves the patient listening to the vibrations from the harmonics overtones of the 5^th interval and the 7h cord which is made up of two 5^th intervals. The vibrations are said to promote healing in the parts of brains that are responsible for endorphin release by causing a pathetic resonance to these parts. Endorphins are brain chemicals that transmit signals from one neuron to the other and help in reducing stress and enhancing the immune system.

Ballroom dance

Exercise is a great way that helps in stress reduction not only to cancer patient but also to people who dot have cancer cells in them. However for a cancer patient, he may not be having strength enough for a gym workout needless to mention the exercise they need to do is one that is fun like ballroom dancing which increases the blood circulation and reduces muscle tension. It also activates hormonal activities which is key in cancer treatment.

Valid company

Stress Stress can be worse if the patient is kept in isolation where he does not meet his family and share his moments with them. This explains why patients undergoing home treatment may recover within a short time. Keeping the cancer patients accompanied at all times reduces their stress as they know they have people they can count on.

You need to learn on ways to prevent the disease. You need reliable information to help you do this. Contact Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) for more information on health matters and be empowered to take good care of your life. Check her website for more information. As always she is readily available for consultations.

Low Dose Chemo and Cancer Treatment

June 28, 2014

Low dose chemo is an effective alternative cancer treatment approach

Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is the utilization of low doses of chemotherapy and insulin in treatment of cancer. The insulin potentiation therapy may also be used in treatment of other chronic diseases. The use of low dose chemotherapy is safer as compared to conventional chemotherapy that leave patients with many life threatening side effects. The conventional chemotherapy does not only kill the cancerous cells but also kill the healthy cells in the patient’s body leading to a period of intense pain, loss of appetite, loss of hair, weakness, fatigue and even weight loss. The ability of coping with the side effects of conventional chemotherapy varies from patient to patient but generally the experience is not for those faint at heart. These inconveniences have led the patients to look for other safer alternatives in cancer treatment and doctors as well as other medical researchers have been looking for alternatives that can help the cancer patients to be treated more effectively with less severe side effects.

The history of Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) can be traced back to the early 1920s when insulin was first used in the attempt to treat patients with schizophrenia. Dr. Donato Perez Garcia, Sr. developed IPT and used it to put cancer patients to coma in an attempt to treat them of cancer. His sons took the practice a head and today very many doctors now recommend the use of IPT in treatment of cancer, Needless to mention several publications have been made to avail information in support of this approach to cancer treatment.

Insulin and Cancer

Insulin is the hormone charged with the responsibility of transporting glucose through the bloodstream to the cells to provide energy. This glucose is needed by both healthy cells and the cancerous cells to survive.

One of the notable difference between cancer cells and healthy cells is that cancer cells depend entirely on sugar and glutamine which is a form of amino acids found in highly concentrated animal proteins. The cancer cells will therefore use all the sugar (glucose) that is found in the bloodstream leaving the healthy cells with inadequate sources of energy to survive on. The healthy cells having no glucose left to utilize become starved and this explains why most cancer patients are always weak and rapidly lose weight.

The amount of insulin used to transport the glucose into the cancer cells is much higher as compared to the amount of insulin hormone used to transport glucose into the healthy cells. Averagely the cancer cells need 16 times more insulin hormones to feed its cells with the glucose.

The cancer cells are very fast in grabbing the glucose available in the blood and that is the basis through which PET scan works. During PET scan a radioactive agent is introduced into the bloodstream within a glucose molecule and since the cancerous cells are the first to race for sugar, they become visible through the scan.

IPT works in the same way as the PET scan, the low doses of chemotherapy drugs are administered in the bloodstream within the glucose molecules and so the cancer cells come scrambling as they are faster in response to glucose than the healthy cells. They utilize the ‘poisoned’ glucose and get killed sparing the healthy cells. In IPT healthy cells are not killed as it happens in the conventional chemotherapy where both the cancerous and the healthy cells are killed. This explains why patients on low dose chemotherapy do not suffer severe side effects as common with patients undergoing conventional chemotherapy.

Potentiation in the IPT is an English word derived from a verb ‘potentiate’ which means to give more power or other to make more potent. In this therapy insulin is used to make conventional chemotherapy more powerful and effective in killing the cancerous cells.

A study that was done at the George Washington University in 1981 revealed that when insulin is mixed with a chemotherapy drug, methotrexate, its strength in killing the cancerous cells improved greatly. With that high potency, patients no longer needed to be given so many drugs to kill the cancerous cells. This combination not only made cancer treatment more effective but also gave convenience to patients as they did not have to use too many drugs to keep healthy.

In numerous ways insulin can help in treatment of cancer patients. Being a hormone that encourages growth, it will trigger cell multiplication by dividing. This allows healthy cells to be more while it puts the cancer cells in a more vulnerable state to be killed by the poisoned glucose molecule in that as the cell divides, it becomes more exposed to the chemotherapy drug in the glucose molecules speeding their death frequency.

IPT is surely a clever way to kill the cancer cells. You see, Insulin is also known to promote detoxification process as it makes the cells more permeable. This makes it easy for the toxins to be removed from the cells. Detoxification is a crucial procedure in cancer treatment and can be highly achieved through IPT as opposed to the conventional chemotherapy.

The use of low dose chemotherapy has gained popularity over a time and doctors have endorsed this alternative cancer treatment. Going by the simple physiology discussed herein you can see how effective the IPT approach to cancer treatment is. Other advantages that the patient enjoys are that the whole procedure does not leave the patients with life threatening side effects as common in conventional chemotherapy. The drugs given to patients are also manageable as they are more potent. Healthy cells are safe and the patients do not become bald.

Cancer treatment is subject to new inventions and that gives you a reason to find a reliable source of information that will update on the latest medical inventions geared towards making cancer treatment more effective. Contact Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) who is more experienced in cancer treatment so that you can learn more on cancer treatment and management.

Weight Loss and Adrenal

February 17, 2014

Weight Loss and Adrenal-Could it be a hindrance?

Is stress causing you to Gain Weight? your adrenal glands initiated a “fight or flight” response

We go through periods of time in our lives when the demands are greater and the stress load is heavier. Regardless of the reasons – illness, relationship difficulties, work struggles, caring for an aging parent or ailing child – there can be a physical impact. We may turn to food for comfort, or we may not nourish ourselves adequately. During times of stress there are actual physiological changes that happen in our bodies, one of which is weight gain. It may not happen overnight, but if we do not pay attention to our body’s needs, over time we may notice we are putting on the pounds.

Our adrenal glands govern our stress response, by secreting hormones relative to our stress levels. They actually help control many hormonal cycles and functions in our body. When the adrenal glands are overworked, the body prepares for disaster, by storing fat and calories. We crave foods, we lose precious energy, and we gain weight. So how can we keep the heavier stress load from equaling heavier bodies?

Weight Loss and Adrenal-How stress becomes physical

For millions of years, humans were forced to protect themselves from environmental factors. From the earliest days of dinosaurs and cavemen, nature has proven its ability to put fear in human beings. Life and death circumstances have evolved around the ability to understand danger, and seek protection and survival. If you were being chased by a predator, your adrenal glands initiated a “fight or flight” response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol into the body. These hormones provided extra physical energy and strength from stored carbohydrates and fats.

While most of our stressors are not the same our earliest ancestors, the body’s natural course of evolution has maintained this original fight-or-flight stress response. But whether we are being physically threatened or not, with any increased stress our body looks to its stored fuel, and then replenishes it when used. Also, with increased levels of cortisol, our body also does not respond as well to leptin, the hormone that makes us feel full, so we eat more.

Modern-day stress may be more psychological than physiological, but it is also more constant. Many of us face chronic stress as a way of life, which means we have consistently elevated levels of cortisol. Now the body thinks it continually needs extra fuel, and typically stores that as fat around the abdomen, or as it’s commonly referred to, the old “spare tire.”

Belly fat: a common sign of adrenal fatigue

Adrenal imbalance causes a number of issues, including an expanded waistline. The science behind it is quite interesting. Normally when we feel begin to feel hungry, our blood sugar drops and the brain sends a message to the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Cortisol activates glucose, fats, and amino acids to keep our body fueled with energy until we eat. Cortisol maintains blood sugar levels, and insulin helps our cells absorb glucose. When we have long term stress, both insulin and cortisol remain elevated in the blood, and the extra glucose is stored as fat mostly in the abdomen.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Scientists have discovered that fat cells actually have special receptors for the stress hormone cortisol, and there are more of these receptors in our abdominal fat cells than anywhere else in our bodies! In addition, scientists have shown that belly fat is actually an active tissue, acting as an endocrine organ that responds to the stress response by actually welcoming more fat to be deposited! This is an ongoing cycle until we take steps to correct this adrenal imbalance. How do we do that?

Weight Loss and Adrenal-Eat well for healthy adrenal glands

What you eat matters. Although it sounds ironic, if you want your body to believe that it is not in danger of starving to death, you need to eat healthy food at regular intervals. Since cortisol helps regulate blood sugar, keeping glucose levels balanced will take some of the stress off the adrenal glands. Three nutritious meals and two healthy snacks spread out across the day will keep our adrenal glands steady.

When you eat matters. Our natural circadian rhythms can help us know when our bodies need nourishment and fuel. Cortisol’s cycle complements our body’s own rhythms, although is highest in the morning and declines gradually throughout the day. When we eat we elevate our cortisol, so it’s ideal to consume larger meals earlier in the day, which also helps our body prepare itself for restful sleep at night.

Have healthy foods on hand. It may be easy to reach for sweets and caffeine for quick energy, but these actually backfire on us, dropping our blood sugar levels rapidly. Reaching for micronutrient-rich foods, such as lean protein, avocado, fresh fruits and vegetable, garlic, and ginger will more adequately support adrenal functioning.

Supplement your daily diet. Adrenal expert, Shawn Talbot, PhD, says, “When it comes to dietary supplementation for stress adaptation and cortisol control, the first line of defense appears in the form of a comprehensive multivitamin/mineral supplement.” The benefits of a daily multivitamin enhance many of the functions in our body. Consider the high-quality multivitamin mineral complex we have in our Program at Women to Women.

For more information on healthy eating and adrenal glands, see my articles about how to eat for your adrenal health.

Weight Loss and Adrenal-Pace yourself to heal

Our fast-paced world is never unplugged. We rarely have time to disconnect from technology, our cell phones, the Internet, email, and even television. And our adrenal glands notice! Instead of being tired, wired, and overeating, consider slowing down and restoring balance to your adrenal glands, and your life. You may think that by moving fast you will lose weight, but in fact, when stress levels are high and our adrenals are working overtime, we will stay in a perpetuating cycle of adding pounds. Here’s how we can learn to pace ourselves.

Sleep

Many of my patients complain of being tired all day then having trouble sleeping at night. They are in an upside down circadian rhythm, which affects cortisol levels, causing irregular sleep patterns. You can correct these by eating less food late in the day, turning off all technology including television, by 8 p.m., and by trying to be in bed and asleep by 10 p.m. The goal is to have at least eight hours of sleep, so our bodies can rest and regulate our hormonal cycles.

Exercise

Our adrenals respond to stress, even if we think it is positive. Exercise is positive, and can help us reduce stress, but only if it does not make us feel tired. When we are exhausted, our adrenals are already working hard, and exercise can put added strain on them. The goal is to keep your heart rate under 90 beats per minute when working out. If you don’t regularly exercise, walking 15 minutes once or twice a day after meals, outside in fresh air, makes our adrenal glands, and our mind and body, very happy.

Have fun

Don’t forget that having fun, laughing, and enjoying your time is a very important way to relax! We all need to make having fun a priority, the benefits are amazing!

Don’t forget to breathe

Deep breaths in and out of your nose can not only slow your heart rate down, but will calm your entire body. Sometimes when we are under stress our breathing becomes shallow, and fast. It only takes three or four deep breaths to feel better. Try to remember that slowing down our breath, as well as our life, even for a few minutes, can make a big difference in reducing our stress level.

Weight Loss and Adrenal-Just let it all go

It isn’t always easy to let things go. We put pressure on ourselves to meet the demands in our lives, to take care of others, to do well in our endeavors, and to make everyone around us happy. But when we forget about ourselves in that equation, the stress will appear as extra pounds, or other things that impede our health and our functioning. When we live with continually elevated levels of stress, our body adjusts to the “crisis mode” and sometimes needs help learning how to live in a calmer state. The first step is to heal your adrenals. By following some of the tips in this article, giving yourself time, and being patient, you will begin to replenish your energy, lose extra weight, and most importantly, feel better.
