This is pretty self explanatory :) Regarding proper hydration, this means 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day.
I’m a big fan of LMNT electrolytes as well because sodium and electrolyte balance is imperative for proper hydration and you can get a free sample pack with purchase HERE:

You can also use Adrenal Cocktails which can be super fun!
These have 3 Basic Components
● Whole Food Vit C Vit. C is essential for adrenal stress hormones in times of adapting, a cofactor to epinephrine, as well as easily depleted under chronic stress. I use Camu Camu powder or a Buffered Vitamin C (Thorne)
● SodiumThe more stressed we are, the more sodium we lose from the cell, which causes our cells to dump potassium (Note: the balance of sodium and potassium significantly affects the symptoms experienced by people with adrenal fatigue).Less sodium in the system means more STRESS in the system — causing aldosterone and adrenaline to rise along with BP
● PotassiumOf the electrolytes, potassium has the highest concentration in the cellsElectrolyte imbalance = decreased adrenal functionRecipes:

*this is not personalized advice, rather an example of how to structure a balanced meal, you can also utilize 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar before meals as well to support blood sugar.Aim to have 15-20g protein each meal at a minimum, 1-2 cups fibrous veggies, 2-3 tbsp fats and quality carbs like sweet potatoes/potatoes, quinoa, rice, fruit, etc. It is also ideal to take a 10-15 min walk after meals to support digestion, ease bloating/gas, and help regulate blood sugar. Research shows a walk after dinner can lower 24 hour glucose levels by 22%!
Utilize foods higher in melatonin to support sleep such as pistachios, many nuts including cashews and almonds contain melatonin, but pistachios have a higher amount than the others. Fatty fish, rice, tart cherries, goji berries, oats, mushrooms, bananas also support sleep. 2 ideas: Tart Cherry Sleep Cocktail - 4 to 6 tablespoons of tart cherry juice concentrate (mixed in water/sparkline water) 30 minutes before bed helps to lower cortisol and increase melatonin production.Use teas like lavender tea, chamomile, sleepy time, etc.
This is imperative especially if you wake up at 3 am. Castor oil packs worn before bed or overnight are great.
