• Couple years ago ran an "adrenal resilience reset" and here are some of the principles I discussed in that program: 
• Normal cortisol curve
  • Programmed by circadian rhythm: eating, sunlight, etc 
• Where cortisol comes from and other hormones produced by the adrenals and their roles. 
  • 76% of health professionals show signs of burnout 
• Gas pedal/gas tank: resilience 
  • CV-resilience issues and mitochondrial degradation
• What to do: stop killing cells 
  • 3 pronged approach from PHYSIOLOGY standpoint : 
    • Minerals 
    • Mitochondrial support
    • Custom adrenal support (might look like adaptogenic mushrooms, ashwaganda, valerian root, magnolia, lemon balm, magnesium, glandulars, licorice, etc. I mention L-theanine and GABA as favorites for anxiety as well and calming support). This will depend if high OR low and what you tolerate. 
      • I also talk about why people DON'T tolerate things and answer off the cuff questions about headaches, etc, 
      • 
        
  • NON-negotiables for lifestyle: 
    • Sleep 7-10 hours 
    • Limbic system work/neural pathway retraining
    • Gut/mold/etc issues  
    • Eat enough regularly at reg intervals every 4ish hours PFC 
    • LIFESTYLE: what is stresing you out? talking fast? appt to appt? 
    • Exercise changes 
    • Night shift
