7 Foods To Eat To Heal Adrenal Fatigue

So which are the best foods for supporting your adrenals? Here are the superfoods that deliver many of the key building blocks that your adrenals need:

I recommend including pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas, in your diet for their minerals (especially zinc and magnesium), B vitamins, vitamin E, and omega-6 fatty acids.

I like to have liver twice a week. It's important that the liver be from animals that have been raised organically, as pesticides and other toxins are concentrated in the fat of conventionally grown animals.

The fat content of grain-fed meat, particularly animals raised in confinement lots, has more omega-6 fat and less omega-3 fat. On the other hand, grass-fed meat and wild game and fish have more omega-3 and less omega-6 fat, a healthier ratio for your hormones.

Sardines are wild fish that are relatively small and much lower on the food chain and therefore less likely to contain toxins. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Therefore, an important strategy in helping the body eliminate the toxic minerals is to have a robust supply of the nutrient minerals on hand. Using sea salt and taking Epsom salt and sea salt soaks is a helpful strategy to improving one’s mineral status.

In clarified butter, casein, the milk protein, is removed. The fat is rich in cholesterol, which is a key building block for the adrenals (and sex hormones). Since pesticides are concentrated in the fat, it's preferable to avoid conventional dairy. Instead, consume grass-fed, organic butter and ghee.

The wider the variety of vegetables, the better. They'll help decrease inflammation, decrease the insulin demand, even out blood sugar levels, and lead to less strain on the adrenals.

There are also a few foods to avoid if you want to provide better support for your adrenals. Here is a short list of foods to take out of your diet:

Sugars increase the inflammation and feed the disease-promoting bacteria in the gut. They also stimulate spikes in insulin and drops in blood sugar with a resulting spike in adrenal hormones. It's better to avoid all sugar entirely.

These foods are converted quickly to sugar, where they enter the bloodstream and lead to the same problems that sugars cause. Eat more vegetables instead.

The foods we eat and the foods we avoid are the bedrock of creating health. Chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and mood problems are the most common symptoms that people struggle with—and adrenal fatigue is often a contributing factor. Once people make diet and lifestyle changes to heal, and follow them 100 percent for 100 days, they often notice dramatic improvements, including reduction in pain, more energy, better moods, normalization of blood pressure and blood sugar, and a steadily declining need for medication. Changing our diets can lead to the beginning of recovery.
