Today’s episode is an interview with me (yay!) and Noelle Tarr from an original airing on the Well Fed Women Podcast. We’re talking about being on the brink of adrenal fatigue and dealing with chronic stress without pushing yourself over the edge – everyone in this pandemic. We’re all on the edge of our stress buckets bubbling over, and how can we prevent that from happening? We’re chatting on – how to manage adrenal fatigue and chronic stress when you can’t eliminate the stress? Also, before we get started – if you think you’re dealing with adrenal fatigue, or just really having trouble with dealing with all the stress right now, and struggling with food, your body, and exercise – please reach out!
