Nutritional Supplementation
Supplementation and avoiding inflammatory foods is a great way to boost energy and fight fatigue. There are a few supplements I love to recommend for people that are under chronic stress, plagued by fatigue, or have a persistent lack of energy. One of them is called the Adrenal Cortrex by Thorne. The adrenal glands, located in the middle of your back just above the kidneys, are part of the endocrine system. This system produces hormones to regulate glucose metabolism, immune function, and normal blood pressure. These hormones also bring the body back into balance after something throws it off, such as a stress flare-up. Adrenal Cortex is formulated with a unique extract from the adrenal tissue and plays a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal function to boost immunity and energy.
Another excellent supplement bundle by Thorne is the Energy Bundle. This bundle contains three supplements that provide comprehensive support for the body’s adrenal glands and cellular energy production in the mitochondria. It contains an ISL 400, which promotes cellular energy production, supports exercise efficiency along with health and fitness goals, and maintains an optimal state of health. The bundle is also made up of complex B vitamins. B vitamins are crucial in promoting cellular energy production, optimal nervous system function, and supporting healthy nerve cells. They also promote the conversion of carbohydrates into energy and the metabolism of fats and proteins. B vitamins help you lose weight by preventing carbohydrates from being stored as fat and helping the body burn fat to use for energy. These supplements make for a great combination to restore your energy levels and help your cells to produce more energy with less work.
At Healing Hands of Manahawkin, we provide a free supplement survey and analysis for our patients, so you know what supplements are right for you. This analysis has over 200 questions about your health to help the doctors hone in on what your body is deficient in and where it needs support. Just because supplements are more natural than pharmaceuticals doesn’t mean we can take them without risk. Supplements can be potent. You should always seek the advice of a chiropractor or integrative doctor about which supplements would work best for you, depending on your condition, current medication regimen, and any allergies or sensitivities.
