Hey again
Lotus, I am interested in getting a healthier adrenal function. I don't know if that is possible or treatable besides having a good diet, sleeping, working out, managing stress, etc. I don't know if that could help me with breast development either, but at least if helps me control my T levels I'd be happy with it.
I cut of sugars except fruit, I am working on a anti-inflammatory diet, improved my sleep, I work out 4-5 a week but I am a disaster with stress management.
Less disaster than I used to because now I know how to cope with it better and I am not always with anxiety symptoms, but I feel when my body has a stress spike. I bet everybody feels that, but I suspect my body is more sensitive to stress (if that makes sense, cause I don't know yet) so it takes me a while to get back neutral sometimes. Working out made huge difference on me on feeling weak and stressed AF during the week, but sometimes I feel like that overwhelming effect in my body (for instance with deadlines at work!).
I read a lot about adaptogens, turmeric, vitamin B properties...all good for good adrenal health. However right now I am just focusing on improving my diet (it was 70% clean Mediterranean diet, now I am doing about 80% clean meaning no processed foods and 20% ) and controlling insulin spikes. There's a book from a French biochemist - Jessie Inchauspé - I've implemented for a year a now and my cravings are under control thanks to it.
I take Magnesium & Vit D as prescribed (2nd blood test this Thursday, wish me luck with my thyroid haha) but I don't know what else I should do to help my metabolism.
