Basic Adrenal Support for EVERYONE who is Hypothyroid
Much of this information, and more, may be found at Dr. Lam's website. I suggest reading his info on adrenal fatigue. He goes into much more depth than I have here, and has additional points in his protocol that may be helpful to you.
- unrefined sea salt, 1/4-1/2 teaspoon in liquid morning and night--more if needed
- vitamin C to bowel tolerance
- B-complex (I take a "50" with each meal)
- Eat something with protein every 2-3 hours
- Drink plenty of good water--no fluoride or chlorine
- mild exercise, up to 20 minutes daily, as tolerated (doesn't cause a worsening of symptoms during or within 24 hours after)
- be in bed by 10PM if at all possible
- sleep as long as you can--9AM would be good
- lay down for 15 minutes a few times during the day
- remove any stressors that you can, and reframe those you can't remove so that you no longer perceive them as stressful (tough, but doable ... to some extent, anyway! )
IF you are on HC (hydrocortisone) or Isocort, some kind of medical alert jewelry is a REALLY GOOD idea--if you're in an accident or suddenly taken ill, you'll need the medical professionals to know that you need extra HC immediately.
