Great question.
We can break Adrenal Gland Health down into two basic principles:
- aspects that negatively affect function
- aspects that improve normal function
By far, the biggest dietary negative for the adrenal glands is blood sugar instability (pre-diabetes which shows up initially as cravings for carbs/sugars, fluctuating energy levels, tired after eating, needing a snack after just eating, and disrupted sleep). When blood sugars are abnormal, the adrenal glands have to pick up the slack. See the RESET Food Plan for tips. Other dietary factors involve excess caffeine consumption or other stimulants (all negatively affect the adrenals).
Support of the adrenals revolves around foods rich in B vitamins and vitamin C and in particular the medicinal herbs licorice and rehmannia.

CW: Illness, abuse, lack of help.
The road to hell is paved with paperwork Unsure about good intentions.
“You know that essay you wrote? Yeah, didn’t read it” or “You aren’t eligible.” You couldn’t have told me this?
How can there be any more forms left to fill in? Questions to answer?Are there any people left to contact? Underfunded #social #services to work through?
How can I rest? My #adrenals will burn out completely if I continue like this. I need to stop adding #hydrocortisone #steroids to get things done. I didn’t just suddenly wake up. This is VERY bad for me.
If only #help and #housing was #safe and #accessible. It’s hard enough for the #abled. I need an #advocate. More forms.
#ChronicIlness is a full time unacknowledged job. #Abuse is the sprinkles.

The road to hell is paved with hundreds of forms. Unsure about good intentions.
