Stressed out? Find Out?
THE IMPACT OF STRESS HAS A LONGER SHELF LIFE THAN YOU THINK
I cannot stress…I can’t believe I said that word…. seriously though we have to, no must, take care and support ourselves now more than ever. It is not always easy in these times to do all the things you know you should be doing to support health and wellbeing. Even if you are doing all the things times are different now than they have ever been, and we all are in need of some extra support especially in these moments of uncertainty. My hand is up. Adrenal Packets and Cataplex B in our house.
Take our Mini Stress Test to see if you could use some support.

SCORE:
SECTION ONE: Calming Practices and adaptive support is what you need.
If you scored above 3 in section number one of the Mini Stress Test, then you are what we called wired and anxious. You are Probably in the Hyper Zone: It is called Sympathetic nervous system dominance. A lot of us live here… We do not even know we are pushing it too much cause we have been doing this for years. The Nervous system is designed to cope with danger then it is designed to rest. Many of us do not know what calm looks like, right? We are constantly on the go… too much of this for too long is inflammatory, not sustainable and leads to other problems.
SECTION TWO: Energy and Rebuilding is what you need
If you scored above 3 in section number 2 in the Mini Stress Test, then you are in the trouble zone and need to take action and follow the tips we suggested. You have Depression type symptoms and low energy. You could seriously use a pick me up. This is often called Burnout and it is time to take action to rebuild your resilience.
Here are My suggestions for Extra support to Decrease the Impact of Stress:
General Every Day: Adrenal Packets, or this herbal formula Ashwaganda Forte
Wired, Tired and Anxious: Min Chex, Kava, Nevaton or Min Tran
Depressed and Lack Motivation: Rhodiola and Ginseng Complex
Lack of Energy and Brain Fog: Eleuthero, Cataplex B, Organically Bound Minerals, Cataplex AC.
