7 Adrenal Superfoods That Fight Fatigue & Balance Cortisol

Eating these adrenal superfoods can help improve your energy, fight fatigue, balance cortisol, and treat adrenal fatigue.
Your adrenals help to control and regulate your ability to manage stress through the production of cortisol. But given the current environment, we find ourselves in, our adrenal glands often need some additional help.
You can support your adrenal glands by eating certain foods known as adaptogens. These foods are called adaptogens because they help your body adapt to stress.
In addition, many have been researched and shown to have a positive impact on cortisol levels.
If you are trying to support your adrenals through your diet or if you just want to make sure your body is in tip-top shape then make sure you consume these foods as much as possible.
You'll find that many of these foods have positive impacts on more than just your adrenal glands as well.
Maca - Maca is a plant that originates from the Peruvian mountains and is frequently used in this region to support vitality, sexual health, and stress resilience.
Goji berries - Goji berries are considered both a superfood and an adaptogen which means they are jam-packed with micronutrients. They are frequently used for anti-aging, immune health, and reducing inflammation.
Holy basil - Holy basil is a plant native to India which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It’s frequently used to treat anxiety, stress, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Turmeric - The active component in turmeric, known as curcumin, has been shown to have adaptogenic properties. Turmeric and curcumin are frequently used because of their powerful anti-inflammatory properties but have also been used to treat conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disease, and even obesity.
Mushrooms - Mushrooms like lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, cordyceps, and turkey tail have been used for centuries as well. They have anti-stress properties and are frequently used to enhance cognition, focus, and clarity, reduce the impact of stress on the body, and enhance the immune system.
Ashwagandha - Ashwagandha, a popular plant native to Asia and Africa, is often used to treat a number of conditions including infertility, insomnia, low testosterone, diabetes, and inflammatory conditions.
Licorice root - Licorice root is considered an adaptogen and has also been used to treat viral infections and gastrointestinal ailments.

Hi Doctor, I have had subclinical hypothyroidism for years (which had improved a lot since I started taking iodized salt), but a few months ago I took sertraline for a few months and since I stopped taking it more than a year ago, my thyroid activity worsened (besides starting to have PSSD, but well, that's another story). I wanted to ask you if it is common to have thyroid problems and have too many adrenal androgens. I'm female and since a few years ago (one before I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism) I was detected with super high adrenal androgens (DHEA-S around 400-600). I already took an anti-androgen pill, but it made me feel horrible, so I don't want to take anything else for that. But do you think the two conditions could be connected? I've already been to several doctors and no one has tested my cortisol because they say I don't have any physical symptoms that would warrant such a test 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dr Childs, have you any insight into varicoceles and Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's? It maybe a missing link in male Hypothyroidism. Some men appear to have gone Hypothyroid soon after getting varicoceles. Others think the varicocele resulted from poor blood circulation post Hashimotos. At any rate, removing varicoceles, from both testes, would be necessary to see if the Hashimoto's is improved. What is your view on this? Also, can digestive enzymes etc. be used as an alternate to NDT? Here in the UK, getting NDT prescribed is not happening... instead they'll write you off as non meds compliant, although levo has been making you more ill than ever... and thank you!

[@meagiesmuse2334]

I'm really sorry you can't get NDT there. Levo almost killed me. I've been on prescription digestive enzymes for at least 15 yrs. now and it has not changed my hypothyroidism. I think kelp might be able to help you some, and of course, also make sure you get enough, but not too much, iodine. If you wanted NDT due to not being able to convert T4 to T3, make sure you get enough selenium. One Brazil nut per day should do it and garlic and mushrooms also have some. Don't take more than 200 mcg. if you take it in a daily supplement.

Coffee - a couple of cups a day - is actually healthy for the body - numerous studies out there regarding that and for those with illnesses such as Epstein Barr and Fibromalysia.... etc It helps the brain get going in the morning by opening the capillaries for one thing. Naturopath here

What were your positive outcomes with the licorice root ?

It was one of the ingedients a supplement in my regime from my preventive med doctor.

I don't know why but i can't tolerate turmeric, it causes me so much pain in my right side. I don't know if it's related to my liver problem or what

[@Valoric]

Listen to your body. Turmeric is known to be potentially hepatotoxic in some people.

[@steph5494]

It's too strong for your liver. Look up liver body type in TCM.

Dr. Stephen Gundry, "world famous" {self-appointed?} cardiologist, rants against Goji berries and talks about them being NOT healthy and definitely not a superfood ... any comments about that?

That’s because Gogi berries are high in polyphenols and he’s trying to sell HIS high poly phenol products! Just my take…

There's no such thing as a superfood. There's food that is high quality, food that is medium quality, food that is low quality, and processed food like substances. Please stop calling high-quality food superfoods
