Adrenals Annoy Me
I've already written about Adrenal Support on this site, taking excerpts from my other health site.
Adrenals are annoying and when you are untangling longstanding health issues, you may need:
1. Adrenal support to feed your adrenals.
2. Thyroid support to feed your taxed thyroid.
3. AND herbs that counter excess adrenaline because the adrenals are running too high.
Rosemary, dill and sage counter excess adrenaline.
Yes, this sounds completely retarded that you would SIMULTANEOUSLY support adrenaline production while overproducing it AND take something to counteract the excess adrenaline.
It IS completely retarded. Take it up with God if you believe in that nonsense. I didn't build the bleeping thing.
My go to is kalamata bread (contains rosemary and olives) with cream cheese (which is thyroid support) when my anxiety levels are through the roof. Plus adrenal support, like licorice, extra salt.
Cream cheese is a good source of Vitamin A, a fat soluble Vitamin, which people with my condition tend to be deficient in:
One tablespoon contains 5% of your recommended daily value, and a typical two-tablespoon serving contains 10%.
A package of cream cheese is typically 8 ounces and one ounce is two tablespoons. I typically eat something like half a loaf of kalamata bread and half a package of cream cheese in one setting, which would be about 40% RDA for normal people. I need about 150-200% RDA for normal people. That's something like 20 to 30 percent what I need for the day.
If you are lactose intolerant, clarified butter is lactose free and a better source of vitamin A.
One tablespoon of butter contains about 97 micrograms of Vitamin A, which is about 14% of the recommended daily allowance for women and 11% for men.
Years ago while extremely ill, I ate butter sandwiches and could consume three-quarters of a stick of butter on two German kaiser rolls in one sitting.
I have a genetic disorder that predisposes me to Vitamin A deficiency. You may wish to tweak this to get the thyroid support you most need.
If you have selenium deficiency, which promotes low blood pressure and frustration, nut butters like almond butter or Nutella, may be a better idea. (Not peanut butter, which isn't really a nut. It's a legume.)
Some cheeses are a good source and so are pinto beans. So cheese quesadilla with beans may hit the spot. Rosemary triscuits are a thing as an alternative means to get rosemary into you.
And, of course, one to three Brazil nuts five days a week is what I did to resolve my selenium deficiency. Brazil nuts are so insanely high in selenium they can give you selenium poisoning. One nut is roughly 100% RDA.
