Adrenal Fatigue & How To Remedy It
Sara Beth
August 15th, 2012 · adaptogen, Healthy Living
We expect our bodies to keep up with us, day-after-day, even if we’ve not treated our system with care. When we face a lack of sleep with increased stress, little relaxing, and stimulate our tired bodies with caffeine to compensate for our lack of energy, it leads to exhausted adrenals. Hanna understood the demand of modern day living as physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing and created Anti-Fatigue to remedy the effects on our system. Our adrenal glands are the seat of our physical power and when they are triggered throughout the day by stress, the glands become exhausted. Hanna said, “It would not do to whip a tired horse for more performance. Instead, you would feed it and give it rest. The same is true for your own adrenals.” Anti-Fatigue is food for present day living, find out why! [Read more →]

Amino Acids – The Building Blocks to Your Health

August 14th, 2012 · Conscious Living, Disease Prevention, Healthy Living
Our bodies are constructed of proteins formed by amino acids and virtually every bodily function involves them. In fact, a large portion of our cells are made up of amino acids and processes like digestion, immune health, weight management, mental health, or anti-aging involve amino acids. While some are created naturally in our bodies, others must be consumed in our diet or through supplementation. Because of their importance in our systems, from the most basic to the very intricate, limited or deficient amounts of amino acids have been linked to chronic illness and disease as well as depression, diabetes, hair loss, and erectile disorders among others. Your everyday good health is dependent on amino acids! Read on to learn more. [Read more →]

- In ancient medicine, Rhodiola was used for pain, headache, scurvy, hemorrhoids, as a stimulant, an anti-inflammatory, to enhance fertility, and for the treatment of cold and flu.
- Current medical and pharmacological tests indicate benefits in relieving fatigue, increasing attention span, improving memory, and boosting work productivity in healthy individuals.
- General benefits include heartbeat regulation, preventing stress-induced cardiac damage, improved sexual function, increased physical work capacity with dramatically shortened recovery periods, menopausal-related disorders, and depression.
Rhodiola is a fantastic addition to the adapotgenic herbs available from Kroeger including Schizandra (which was recently featured on Dr. Oz as an anti-aging miracle adaptogen) and American Ginseng which benefits energy levels, especially in men.

If you’re heading back to school or getting your kids ready to, you understand that this transitional time can be stressful. Whether you’re concerned with the schedule changes, the anticipation for the start of something new, or worried with an increased workload there are tips for getting off on the right foot and making this school year less stressful.
Start a Schedule Early and Get a Routine
Parent, teacher, or student--tame the back-to-school stress!
When I was a teen, I never understood why my mother would enforce the rule of going to bed by 10 pm and waking up at 6:30 in the morning during the last couple of weeks of my summer break. My sister and I were cranky and unable to be much more than zombies for the first few days but (slowly) it became easier to wake up and get going. With this small change in our schedule my mother prepared us to get up and out in the morning with little anxiety or rush. By starting schedules before the school year begins, you may be able to ease the impact of the changes on yourself or your children. [Read more →]
