legs eventually become thinner and weaker too, especially at the knees.
loss of tone in that area.
double chin and wrinkles appear. You say this is age, but I say it’s the adrenal hormones being pumped too much. The adrenal hormones are also the aging hormones.
The problem is that
the adrenals are constantly releasing sugar,
The ONLY anti-inflammatory hormone in the body is cortisol, which is why doctors use it for every type of inflammation from poison ivy to arthritis including itching from hives
Exhausted adrenals can keep the body in pain and with inflammation and stiffness because the adrenal hormone cortisol (the anti-inflammatory hormone) has become dysfunctional.
fibromyalgia, which is a systemic (overall) condition of muscle pain and inflammation throughout the body, develops. This is caused by the adrenals running out of their own anti-inflammatory hormone.
Pain, inflammation, and weight loss don’t mix—in fact, it’s one of the top reasons for people not losing weight.
Chronic Fatigue
They feel tired, drained, and have brain fog.
Due to the lack of quality sleep, mid-afternoon naps are desperately needed.
short-term memory problems and the inability to locate things. You might often lose your keys or your words or even say, “What did I come in this room for again?”
Over the years a person can feel depressed and very lethargic from years of caffeine.
Acne occurs due to enlargement of the oil glands on the face,
When excessive adrenal hormones are produced, the person has problems with calcium as well as with other minerals.
In order to absorb calcium, your blood needs to be at a certain pH level.
The term pH refers to the acid/alka...

The saliva should be alkaline, the urine slightly acid, the stomach extremely acid, and the blood just slightly alkaline.
Overactive adrenals make the blood too alkaline, preventing calcium from being directed to the bones and muscles, so one gets not only thinning of the bones (osteopenia and osteoporosis) but also muscle cramps in the calves at night.
Cramps in the calf muscles come from calcium or potassium deficiencies.
Instead of calcium going into the body it accumulates on...

on the joints as arthritis,
on the tendons as tendinitis,
Without the right balance of calcium in the body, a person will have a difficult time falling and staying asleep.
An excess of adrenal hormones can increase potassium loss.
potassium is the most important mineral
Your body requires 4,700mg of potassium per day.
When you lose your adrenal function you lose your immune system. In fact, I believe that it’s impossible to get sick unless the adrenals first are weakened.
Weakened adrenals leave you susceptible to infection.
autoimmune conditions occur after long-term stress, an injury, the loss of a loved one, or a divorce.
Gallbladder Support Formula, because it will give you purified bile salts and make additional natural remedies to get rid of the bloating and start digesting again.
Nearly all the benefit from exercise occurs AFTER exercise in the recovery part.
Adrenal cases sometimes have a low tolerance of people who make mistakes.
They might come into a room and spot something “out of order.” They might have a great day, but that ONE small bad thing engulfs their attention. They say they are multi-taskers, but in reality, they just disperse their attention all over the place. They don’t feel as productive because incomplete projects show their lack of follow-through. Their thoughts come in like popcorn, and not sequentially. They have a hard time concentrating. The reason they procrastinate and do things out of necessity is because they have lost their focus and concentration mojo.
Exposure to long-term stress without recover time kills brain cells, especially in a part of the brain called the hippocampus.
“Hmmmmmm…where am I going again?”
You’re talking to someone, but then you go blank.
You look for something, and then have to backtrack and try to find out what y...

Polio is a caused by virus. What is fascinating about polio is that the outbreaks nearly always peaked in the late summer.
