- Living in the modern-world with a caveman’s coping mechanism
- Is your flight-or-fight response keeping you in an exhausted state?
- My secret weapon for relaxed and alert energy all day long
Ever have those times when you feel exhausted, but still can’t rest? It’s an epidemic today.
People feel both “tired and wired” at the same time. They drag during the day, but then can’t sleep well at night. They need caffeine and sugar to keep them going during the day and then need something to help them sleep at night.
I have an expression for this. I call it “Living with full-time stress on a caveman’s coping mechanism.”
You see, whenever you feel threatened, your body goes into a “fight or flight” response.
Back in the days of our ancient ancestors, this response kicked in only when faced with a dire threat…say being chased by a 600 pound saber toothed tiger. It wasn’t something that happened every day – or even every other day.
MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes
When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…
Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.
Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.
In my FREE Special Report, I'll show you a HUGE, untapped resource for your eyes that safely and naturally restores clear, effortless eyesight.

These days we aren’t outrunning tigers. Yet we’re constantly under stress. We get stuck in traffic jams, struggle with unfriendly co-workers, juggle finances and take care of ailing kids, parents and spouses. It’s a steady stream of never-ending tension.
This means your body is trying to pump out stress hormones – hormones your ancestors only needed every once in a while – on a full-time basis.
At some point, your adrenal glands struggle to keep up with the stress. Your body’s demands for stress hormones will be more than they can functionally deliver. This can easily lead to adrenal weakness or fatigue.
Is Your Flight-or-Fight Response Keeping You in an Exhausted State?
Adrenal fatigue comes in two parts.
-
- When you’re constantly under stress your adrenal glands work overtime to produce plenty of cortisol. And that’s a big problem. Continual generation of excess cortisol can affect your brain function, sleep, immune function, blood pressure and the accumulation of abdominal fat.
- When your adrenal glands can’t keep up with demand, they become fatigued and cortisol production diminishes. This can cause many different physical and mental problems to unfold, including muddied thinking, brain fog, depression, low thyroid function and inflammation.
To make matters even worse, cortisol has a synergistic relationship with your thyroid.
If you’re over-producing cortisol, it can lead to thyroid resistance. But if you’re not producing enough of it, you won’t have enough cortisol for your thyroid to work properly. So adrenal fatigue and thyroid problems often go hand-in-hand.
This is a double-whammy when it comes to your health. Energy flies out the window. There’s no need to try to concentrate, because you can’t. Weight gain sets in and hair loss speeds up.
The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery
This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.
The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.
In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.
Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.
Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.
Simply click HERE if you want to have fast prostate relief...restful, uninterrupted sleep...no more constant "urges to go"...enhanced virility...and optimal prostate support for life.
Not to mention trouble sleeping, moodiness and depression… low libido, muscle pain and generalized weakness. In men, it can even affect your testosterone levels.
Thankfully, I’ve got a dynamic duo that can help slash your stress levels, reduce cortisol and support your thyroid for renewed energy, focus and vitality.
My Secret Weapon for Relaxed and Alert Energy All Day Long
If you want to stay relaxed, energized and focused all day long, a combination of two herbal extracts may be exactly what you need.
The first is rhodiola rosa, an adaptogenic herb that helps your body naturally adapt to stress. This herb was used for centuries by the Vikings. They relied on it to increase their legendary endurance, physical strength, and stamina. It helped them survive long voyages across the North Sea in open boats in sub-freezing weather.
In patients with fatigue syndrome, taking 185mg of rhodiola daily reduces fatigue, increases mental performance, improves ability to concentrate and decreases cortisol levels.
The other is called ashwagandha. This herb can naturally keep energized throughout the day while helping you sleep better at night.
Better yet, it can help balance thyroid and adrenal issues by boosting energy in the areas of your body that are weak, and reducing energy in those that are stressed.
Taking just 600 mg of ashwagandha daily can…
- Cut anxiety by more than half
- Slash stress levels as much as 44%.
- Reduce cortisol levels by almost a third
Additionally, people with chronic stress who take ashwagandha experience better cognitive skills, improved weight management and report feeling happier.
