Ancient Herbal MIxture to help you loose weight, increase energy, decrease stres s, and sick days!

Ancient Chinese Herbs Ginseng, Cordyceps, and Rhodiola help regulate cortisol pr oduction in the body. If you have to much Cortisol it will decrease it, if you d on't have enough cortisol it will boost hormone levels. What is Cortisol Cortisol is a stress hormone excreted by the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys. Cortisol has everything to do with our fight or flight response. W hen we are "stressed" in a state fight or flight cortisol is excreted by the adr enal glands into the blood stream making us more on edge and alert. This allows us to push through a hard day of work or put the finishing touches on a project before a big deadline. It also gives us the energy of "flight". If and actual bear or dog is chasing us we will have extra energy to run away. Deleterious Effects of High Cortisol Insulin Resistance - When cortisol is high it causes the liver to release sugar to fuel our fight or flight response. When our blood sugar levels are high the pancreas releases insulin more frequently resulting in decreased insulin recepto r function on our cells. When these are decreased the body can not store the sug ar in fat and it is left in the blood resulting in glycation which will lead to Type II diabetes and cell death over time. Water Retention and Weight Gain - Increased Cortisol Increases the Hormone Aldos terone which is secreted by the kidneys. Aldosterone is an anti-diuretic hormone . This means it holds sodium in the body. When the body has increased sodium we hold more water in our tissues and many times our blood pressure will increase because of the excess fluids having to be circulated through the venous system. Fatigue - When Cortisol is chronically increased we will start to experience fat igue. Naturally Cortisol should be high in the morning to help us wake up and de crease through out the day so we can relax and sleep well at night. When we hav e chronically increased cortisol our sleep is disrupted leading to fatigue and s leep irregularities. Sleep dysregulation also plays a huge role in immune funct ion, hormone production, and brain health. Hormonal Balance Disruption - Chronic Increased Cortisol can lead to increased P MS symptoms in women, and decreased Testosterone in men. The reason being is th at the precursor to male and female hormones is Pregnenolone. Pregnenolone is al so the precursor to Cortisol. If Cortisol is high and out of balance in the body there is a good chance you sex hormones ,Testosterone, Estrogen, and Progestero ne balances will be decreased and imbalanced. Treatment If you experience any of these condition an adaptogenic herb supplement can make a huge difference. I use the herbal combination Adraset which is pharmacologic grade supplement made by Metagentics. I use this herb for myself and my patien ts to control blood pressure, stress, increase immune function, balance hormones , and increase overall vitality. I recommend 2 capsules in the morning upon waki ng. If you have more questions or would like to request a nutrition consultatio n. You can email me at info@balancechiropractic andrehab.com.
