Adrenal Fatigue

What fatigue?!
Whatever kind of fatigue that is, you may feel like you have it…and you probably do!

Adrenal fatigue is when your adrenal glands (located on your kidneys) become worn out. While you’re sleeping less, giving more, and looking for yet another missing sock, your adrenals are trying to keep your cortisol (stress) hormone at bay while managing your ever changing estrogen levels and so many more things. Oofta!

Combating adrenal fatigue doesn’t have to be overly complicated, however if you’d like to know more, schedule an exam with Dr. K today!

Postpartum Depletion

Two words that may sum up your life as a mom. After having kids, you feel the depletion. Whether its 3 days postpartum, or 3 years, many feel it at one point.

Being pregnant is a blessing, it’s amazing, but there’s a reason the baby is sometimes referred to as a leech: they’re taking all your nutrients! Proper nutrition and supplementation during and after pregnancy is crucial to prevent issues in the future.

Dr. K’s favorite bath is with 1 cup of Epsom salt mixed with 5-6 drops of lavender!
