The foods you eat, as well as the foods you choose not to eat, are a critical part of healing your adrenals and restoring hormonal balance. Your diet will make the task of healing adrenal fatigue either much easier or much more difficult, depending on the choices you make. So which are the best foods for supporting your adrenals? Here are the superfoods that deliver many of the key building blocks that your adrenals need: I like to have liver twice a week. It’s important that the liver be from animals that have been raised organically, as pesticides and other toxins are concentrated in the fat of conventionally grown animals. Therefore, an important strategy in helping the body eliminate the toxic minerals is to have a robust supply of the nutrient minerals on hand. Using sea salt and taking Epsom salt and sea salt soaks is a helpful strategy to improving one’s mineral status. The foods we eat and the foods we avoid are the bedrock of creating health. Chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and mood problems are the most common symptoms that people struggle with—and adrenal fatigue is often a contributing factor. Once people make diet and lifestyle changes to heal, and follow them 100 percent for 100 days, they often notice dramatic improvements, including reduction in pain, more energy, better moods, normalization of blood pressure and blood sugar, and a steadily declining need for medication. Changing our diets can lead to the beginning of recovery. She received her master’s in medicine from The University of Iowa, as well as her master’s in business administration from the University of St. Thomas. Wahls has progressive MS. For seven years, she declined steadily, and though she took the newest drugs, including very potent biologic drugs, she ended up in a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. When she started studying the latest brain science and designed a diet and lifestyle program specifically to support her brain cells, her decline slowed, then stopped, then she recovered. Now, she bikes five miles to work. She uses these principles to help others with a wide variety of brain-related symptoms end their decline and suffering, and restore their lives. She has authored The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles, as well as its companion cookbook, The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life. Terry also holds her Wahls Protocol® Seminar every August.
