Adrenal Cocktail
Packed with electrolytes and vitamin C, this beverage is so simple yet so good for your adrenal health.
Our adrenal glands are two, hat-shaped glands that sit on top of our kidneys (one on each side) and are responsible for the production and regulation of cortisol. Cortisol is our main stress hormone and plays a role in blood sugar regulation, inflammation and immune function. Imbalance of cortisol can also impact our thyroid, which controls metabolism (aka weight loss and gain) and our sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone).
Although there are a ton of ways that we can think about helping our cortisol levels stay balanced and nourishing those glands, hydration and minerals is one of the simplest.
I typically recommend starting your morning with this before your first cup of coffee. Here is a quick recipe you can make first thing in the morning.
Recipe:
8 oz warm or cold water
1/4 - 1/2 lemon juiced
Heavy pinch of table salt or 1/3 packet of plain, unflavored LMNT electrolytes
Combine in a mug or tall glass
