Supplement city! Completed a session with Rebecca on my nutrition plans. Made progress over initial evaluation. Reduced my "symptoms" score by over 100 points. We added a thyroid booster and I'll be doing a "spit" test to measure just how poorly my adrenals are doing.

She wants me to do a fast (3-day) and then begin a 21-day protein supplement regimen that should detox me and clean me out. Sounds like a plan!

My energy levels are whacked right now so it makes sense to look at my adrenals. She spoke of a neuro-immune-hormone axis--the links between those three systems and how they can get out of balance because they operate on a positive feedback loop. If the adrenals are overloaded, this axis keeps trying to get them to respond even though they are not functioning well. It's like beating a dead horse.

Will say more as things unfold. Now, I'm zonked! Missed my afternoon nap(s) by going over to SC to meet with her. But, it's starting to make sense--both why I'm so tired and what can be done about it. Ahhhh! The mysteries of the abdominal tract--may they be dispelled!
