Friend, does this sound too familiar? 

  • You wake up and are unable to function without a significant amount of caffeine.
  • You finally feel a boost of energy during the early part of the day.
  • Then your energy levels crash around 2 p.m., rise around 6 p.m., and fall again around 9 p.m.
Can stress cause extreme fatigue? Yes, it absolutely can. Energy levels can be affected by stress and chronic stress can affect your body’s ability to recuperate from physical, mental or emotional stress. I don't know about you but when I think about everything that is happening in the world, it stresses me out! So what is that stress doing to our body? It can have a lot of side effects but let's talk specifically about how stress can affect the adrenal glands. 

Adrenal fatigue is a condition in which the body and adrenal glands can’t keep up with the tremendous amount of daily stress many people experience. Adrenal fatigue can mimic some precursors to other common illnesses and diseases so it is often difficult to diagnose. 

Many wellness doctors believe that an episode of acute stress or prolonged (especially for over a year), ongoing stress can cause adrenal glands to become overloaded and ineffective, then improperly release cortisol.

Hi! I'm Sara and this is my story ...

 
I’m a stay-at-home mom of 4 kids, and for years our family lived paycheck to paycheck. There was never any “fun money” left over and any kind of unexpected expense had to go straight onto the credit card. So as you can imagine, we got pretty deep in debt. 

Healthwise, I was dealing with low energy and constant seasonal stuff, and then one of my kids was diagnosed with a communication disorder. I was interested in natural remedies, but I wasn’t sure where to start.  

Then one day my neighbor hosted a Young Living gathering. I grew intrigued hearing about how they grow their own plants and distill their own oils and how they can support natural health.  

When I heard how you can receive a check just by sharing with friends, I thought, “If it’s that simple, I NEED to be a part of it!”   

Today my family and I have a whole new way of living. We no longer worry when a health concern pops up – we reach for our oils first. And I love the peace of mind in having a toxin-free home. Financially, it’s completely changed our lives, and to see it changing OTHER people’s lives is just the best feeling in the world.
