Adrenal Cocktails, what are they and what do they do?

Adrenal exhaustion (aka adrenal fatigue) happens when the adrenal glands can’t keep up with chronic stress, leading to imbalances in cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. This can seriously impact energy, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Symptoms of Adrenal Exhaustion:

• Constant fatigue – Feeling wiped out even after a full night’s sleep

• Brain fog – Struggling to focus, poor memory, and mental sluggishness

• Salt & sugar cravings – Electrolyte imbalances make you crave all the wrong things

• Low blood pressure/dizziness – Especially when standing up too fast

• Poor stress tolerance – Easily overwhelmed or anxious

• Sleep issues – Trouble falling asleep, waking up at 2-4 AM, or feeling exhausted in the morning

• Blood sugar crashes – Feeling shaky, irritable, or weak when hungry

• Getting sick often – Weakened immune system and slow recovery

• Hormonal imbalances – Irregular periods, PMS, low libido, or thyroid issues

Adrenal exhaustion is usually caused by chronic stress, poor diet, overwork, lack of sleep, and too much caffeine.

How to Support Your Adrenals:

• Prioritise sleep and stress management

• Keep blood sugar stable by eating protein, healthy fats, and fiber with every meal

• Get plenty of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium)

• Cut back on stimulants like caffeine and alcohol

• Load up on Vitamin C & B vitamins for adrenal support

Basic adrenal cocktail recipie:

• Coconut water

• Lemon juice

• 1/4 tsp of sea salt

• Splash of orange juice

For best results, enjoy an adrenal cocktail mid morning, or mid afternoon to help avoid energy slumps!
