  • Simple remedies to conquer winter doldrums
  • Feed your gut for a happier brain

Do you start feeling sluggish and withdrawn around this time of the year? Does eating a big bowl of ice cream and sleeping the rest of the day sound better than dragging yourself out of the house?

If so, you might tell yourself this is natural. After all, it’s getting dark earlier and it’s cold outside. Isn’t that when you’re supposed to hibernate and store energy like a bear in its’ winter lair?

  • The most overlooked cause of low energy
  • 3 nutrients to boost adrenal function
  • Just five minutes to lower cortisol levels

But by the time three or four o’clock rolls around, that fatigue sets in again. If there’s a bed anywhere near you, you’ll fall into it for a quick nap.

Burnout

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

If you are overworked, overstressed, or simply feel overwhelmed, you may be setting yourself up for problems. Chronic stress will weaken your adrenal glands and can seriously compromise your body’s ability to reenergize. Known as adrenal fatigue, this energy thief seems to be affecting more and more Americans. That’s one reason why I am seeing an uptick in patients with nondescript ailments or a variety of unrelated health problems that range from insomnia to muscle pain to low blood sugar.

In fact, only two to three percent of Americans have pronounced hypothyroidism, and an additional 10 to 15 percent have subclinical or mild hypothyroidism, according to the American Thyroid Association. Of those, half don’t even know they have the condition. Continue reading →
