Are You Tired, Stressed, and Just Not Feeling Like Yourself? It Could Be Adrenal Fatigue.

Many people don’t realize that stress and poor health are deeply connected. If you’re constantly stressed or not getting enough rest, it can take a serious toll on your body—specifically on your cortisol levels.

Cortisol is one of over 50 hormones produced by the adrenal glands—two small but powerful glands that sit just above your kidneys. These glands play a key role in maintaining energy, managing stress, and supporting your immune system.

One of the most common things we hear from patients struggling with adrenal fatigue is:
👉 “After [a major stress or life event], I was never the same.”

That turning point often follows periods of:

  • Financial stress
  • Emotional strain
  • Infections or illness
  • Poor diet (especially sugar and processed foods)
  • Smoking or drug use
  • Unemployment or life instability

Over time, these stressors can cause your adrenal glands to struggle, leading to reduced cortisol production—your body’s main stress-handling hormone. And when cortisol levels drop, your energy, focus, and even your mood can take a hit.

Common Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Low blood pressure or blood sugar
  • Frequent headaches
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Low libido
  • Fertility issues
  • Feeling “off” or not like yourself

💚 You don’t have to keep pushing through. If this sounds like you, New Leaf Wellness in West Des Moines and all the other locations can help. We offer cortisol testing and personalized support, including supplements designed to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again.

✨ Let us help you restore your energy, health, and vitality—naturally.

Celebrate Progress for Lasting Success

Celebrate Progress!

In the unfolding chapters of 2024, our 7-part series today unveils a subject crucial for sustained motivation and well-being: Celebrate Progress. Amid the pursuit of significant health and lifestyle changes, acknowledging and reveling in the small victories becomes a linchpin for lasting success.

Embarking on a journey of inspiration and action often involves setting ambitious goals. While the destination is essential, so is recognizing the significance of each step along the way. Tracking your progress, no matter how incremental, allows you to appreciate the positive changes unfolding in your life.

Small victories are the building blocks of lasting transformation. Whether completing a challenging workout, making mindful food choices, or consistently prioritizing quality sleep, these seemingly minor accomplishments contribute to the bigger picture of your well-being. Celebrate them with enthusiasm, as they signify your commitment to a healthier, revitalized you.

Maintain a progress journal or use a tracking app to document your achievements. Reflect on how far you’ve come, and let this retrospective gaze fuel your motivation for the journey ahead. Recognizing your efforts not only boosts self-esteem but also reinforces the idea that change is possible and worth celebrating.

Celebrate not only the physical changes but also the mental and emotional shifts. Perhaps you’ve developed a more positive mindset, cultivated resilience, or established healthier habits. These intangible victories are just as significant as the visible ones and contribute to your holistic well-being.

As you celebrate progress, consider incorporating rewards for yourself. These need not be extravagant; a small indulgence, a moment of relaxation, or treating yourself to a favorite activity can serve as a powerful acknowledgment of your dedication and accomplishments.

Remember, the journey is ongoing, and every step forward is a triumph. Embrace the process, celebrate your progress, and let these moments of joy and recognition propel you toward a healthier, more vibrant version of yourself in 2024. The commitment to celebrate small victories is not just a practice; it’s a mindset that sustains the flame of inspiration throughout your transformative journey.

A Support Network for Accountability and Motivation

Support Network!

Embarking on a transformative journey in 2024 is not a solitary endeavor–it’s a collective voyage. In today’s installment of our 7-part series, we shine a spotlight on a crucial element: your Support Network.

Navigating the twists and turns of a health and wellness journey becomes more meaningful and sustainable when shared with others. Building a support system is akin to having a safety net—a network of friends or family members who understand your aspirations, cheer on your successes, and provide a comforting embrace during challenges.

Sharing your health journey fosters accountability and motivation. When those around you are aware of your goals, they become invested in your success. It’s a powerful reminder that you’re not alone in your pursuit of a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether it’s a workout buddy, a confidante for nutritional discussions, or a family member joining you in mindfulness practices, your support network becomes an integral part of your journey.

Encouragement flows both ways within a support system. As you receive uplifting words and motivation, you, in turn, become a source of inspiration for others. The collective energy of a group striving for positive change creates a synergy that propels everyone forward.

Effective communication is key. Share your milestones, setbacks, and aspirations openly with your support network. This transparency not only strengthens your connections but also allows others to offer tailored advice, insights, and, most importantly, empathy.

In the digital age, your support network extends beyond physical proximity. Utilize online communities, forums, or social media groups focused on health and wellness. Connect with like-minded individuals who can provide virtual support, share experiences, and contribute valuable knowledge to enrich your journey. Our Wellness Coaches would be a great addition to your support network!

As you continue your journey of inspiration and action in 2024, remember that your support network is a treasure trove of strength and encouragement. Together, you’re not just chasing individual goals; you’re crafting a shared narrative of health, growth, and triumph. Cultivate those connections, celebrate victories, and lean on one another during the inevitable challenges. The power of a supportive community is an invaluable asset on your path to a healthier, more inspired you.

Stress Less For Wellness

Stress Less!

As we navigate the unfolding chapters of 2024 in our ongoing series of inspiration and action, today’s pivotal theme invites you to embrace serenity amid life’s whirlwind: stress less for overall wellness.

The impact of stress on our well-being cannot be overstated. From hormonal imbalances to compromised mental health, stress has far-reaching effects. To counteract this, consider integrating stress management techniques into your daily routine. Meditation and mindfulness, in particular, are powerful tools that can anchor you in the present moment, fostering a sense of calm and equilibrium.

In the quest for stress resilience, consider incorporating Stress Reset from NLRx Nutrition into your supplement regimen. Crafted with a blend of natural ingredients designed to support stress reduction, this supplement can be a valuable addition to your wellness toolkit. Consult with our healthcare professionals to ensure it aligns with your individual needs and complements your existing health practices. Visit www.NLRxNutrition.com for more information on Stress Reset and our other intentional supplements.

Mindful breathing exercises, guided meditation, and moments of intentional reflection can be woven seamlessly into your day, offering a reprieve from the demands of a fast-paced life. These practices not only soothe the mind but also contribute to hormonal harmony, mitigating the detrimental effects of chronic stress.

Remember, stress management is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Experiment with different techniques to discover what resonates with you. Whether it’s a daily meditation session, a mindful walk in nature, or a few moments of deep breathing–find what brings you solace and build these practices into your routine. As you embark on this journey to stress less, recognize that it is not about eliminating stress entirely but rather cultivating resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Embrace the power of small, intentional steps supported by mindful practices and targeted supplements to navigate stress and maintain your well-being. In 2024, let stress be a catalyst for growth and self-discovery, rather than an impediment to your journey of inspiration and action.
