Adrenal Fatigue Diet: What to Eat (and Avoid) in Your Recovery Journey
Adrenal fatigue can leave you feeling drained, but diet plays a crucial role in supporting recovery. Focus on nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed red meat, organ meats, wild-caught fatty fish, and bone broth to nourish your adrenal glands and boost energy levels. Avoid processed carbs, refined sugars, seed oils, and excessive caffeine, as they can exacerbate adrenal fatigue and disrupt hormone balance. Additionally, be mindful of plant antinutrients like phytates, lectins, and oxalates, which can impair nutrient absorption and gut health. By following a tailored diet and lifestyle changes, you can start healing your adrenals and regain your energy.

With the right approach, the body can shift from a state of exhaustion to one of resilience and balance. Prioritizing nervous system health can lead to long-term improvements in well-being. Small, consistent changes make a powerful difference in restoring vitality.
