The root cause of mental health issues is part physical imbalance (e.g., chronic inflammation, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity, hormone imbalance,
blood sugar dysregulation, chronic sleep deprivation), and part psychospiritual (e.g., history of trauma, cognitive distortions, social isolation, chronic stress, living out of alignment
with the way human beings evolved to thrive — eating real food, moving their bodies, sleeping in darkness, breathing fresh air, drinking clean water, seeing the sun, connected to nature, and deeply rooted in community).
Adrenal fatigue is often referred to as HPA axis
dysregulation because individuals
with adrenal insufficiency often suffer from weight gain,
blood sugar problems, thyroid issues and hormonal problems.
