Background
Adrenal production is central to overall health, vitality, moods, and sleep quality.
Paying attention to the following recommendations is why, despite my early life being fraught with adrenal depletion from an early age — today at 72, I can still work long, mentally demanding hours for the business, maintain the energy and strength required to move or mill tons of clay material by hand, sleep deeply and easily, and sustain a generally optimistic mood toward the future, amidst the many challenges we face today.
The truth is, the reason Vital Life Essentials exists today, is a direct result of this early life beginning that drove me to find a solution to my own conditions.
Our former focus through Vitality Herbs & Clay represented an attention on physical earth-born solutions to physical conditions, knowing how important it is to feel physically better before other interests can even be considered.
Yet, there are other aspects to physical healing that deserve to be integrated in order to obtain the most comprehensive results in the shortest amount of time.
The Bigger Picture
This focuses attention on the inner states of one's being — because if we do not feel good about our life situation, stress levels increase and health naturally deteriorates.
Therefore included below, in addition to the mineral and herbal protocols, are two simple, powerful ways to complement a quality, all encompassing health-building approach that restores both physical balance and inner peace — vital to a holistic and fulfilling life.
This combined emphasis (that has always been a central part of my personal healing and overall success) is the purpose behind the rebranding of our name to Vital Life Essentials going forward.
Key Components of a Holistic Hormone Restoration Program
Hormonal function in general, and adrenal production specifically (being the most prolific hormone producer of the body), is central to overall health, mental activity, quality sleep, and energy levels.
Building adrenal powers is a multi-fold process ranging from reducing adrenal stress caused by diet, toxicities, lifestyle habits, as well as from internal stress factors.
Detoxification of the body provides a significant boost to adrenal function, given its central role in responding to stress from toxins.
Consider detoxification protocols to be of utmost importance in addition to what's mentioned below, as most all chemical and EMF sensitivities, allergies, digestive complaints, methylation issues, mast cell disorders, gene disorders, mental focus, sleep issues, and energy levels are centrally influenced by toxins in the body coupled with an overwhelm in the major detox channels: liver, lymph, kidneys, lungs, bowels, and skin.
Improvements in diet cannot be overemphasized, especially in the areas of concentrated sugar consumption, excess fats, caffeine, alcohol, and recreationals, all of which deplete kidney jing and brain function faster than most other factors.
Adrenal repair (and hormonal restoration in general) is accomplished in 8 basic ways:
1) An improvement in diet (OK, So What Foods CAN I Eat?) with an emphasis on ensuring oils & fats are fully digested before consuming sweets, and ensuring pancreatic enzyme production is at peak performance:
-
Digestive Bitters with every meal (stimulates bile production & pancreatic digestive enzymes)
-
Herbal C taken separately or as a component of a green superfood drink to boost immune powers, detox the body, and improve cellular repair
2) High earthen mineral ingestion with daily hydration requirements(necessary building blocks for hormones) with the most highly recommended being:
-
Mineral Manna (AM & PM use) (Contains Ancient Mineral Blend, Sacred Clay, Himalayan Salt, Humic/Fulvic Earth, and Ormalite.)
or the following components, if taken separately:
-
Ancient Mineral Blend (AM & PM use for muscle relaxant and laxative effects)
-
Sacred Clay (AM & PM use)
-
Ormalite (AM & PM use)
Daily mineral infusions can be included in the critical function of hydrating the body sufficiently to enhance virtually every metabolic function of the human body.
3) Daily consumption of a comprehensive green superfood (also helps to maintain an ideal 7.35 pH). Taken in the morning or midday, and again just before bed (to improve the depth and quality of sleep). This is one of my most favorite ways to improve sleep quality and quantity, in addition to Day Calm & Deep Sleep. (See Trouble Sleeping? – 12 Most Common Causes of Sleep Disorders and 6 Secrets to Sleeping Well)
Options include:
4) Implement a daytime endocrine (hormonal) rebuilding program with adaptogenic herbs (convinces the body to turn off cortisol and turn on melatonin at the right times). Both young and old serve to benefit immensely from a steady regimen of the following adaptogenic hormone balancers.
One or more options from this list will add a boost to your innate natural hormone production powers. Taken together, even in moderate amounts (4-12 caps/1 tsp-1 tablespoon/5-15 ml) once or twice per day steadily improves energy levels, mood, mental focus, and physical drive.
For both women and men going through the 'change of life', the following hormone restorative formulas, in addition to dietary and lifestyle changes, along with a daily detoxification regimen, provide a simple and effective approach to restore and build normal estrogen and testosterone levels.
-
Kidney & Adrenal Builder — (daytime primarily), although only 1-3 caps before bed improves sleep by assisting in the reduction of cortisol. Serves as a long term rebuilder of adrenal production.
-
Adrenal Revive — Contains Nettle Seed and Alfalfa plus a few key adaptogens for the most rapid way to kickstart adrenal function, reduce allergic responses, and begin the process of restoring normal hormone production.
-
Serenity Plus — Supports calm, sustained, natural energy without caffeine.
-
Revitalize for Women or Revitalize for Men — (daytime only). Central to addressing menopausal and andropausal symptoms)
-
Spleen Builder — (AM & PM) (The spleenic energy center electrically generates power for adrenal hormone production)
-
Thyroid Balance — (AM & PM) Adrenal function is foundational to thyroid function.
-
Small amounts of Licorice Root powder one pinch at a time (generally 1/2 teaspoon or so over the course of a day) serves to support adrenal production and reduce allergic responses to pollens, etc.
5) Implement a daily detoxification regimen.
Toxins are being taken in daily (and most of us have been for decades now), thus the importance of a program that removes toxins (hormone disruptors) from the body gradually, yet daily. Such a program will include:
-
Daily or frequent Sacred Clay baths, foot baths, all night foot poultices, or shower slurries to draw as many toxins out as possible from the blood and lymph, and skin, thus easing the strain on the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system in general (Sacred Clay Instructions for Use)
-
A sweat therapy approach of infrared or steam saunas, or sweat-inducing herbs and spices (ginger, cayenne, hyssop, etc.), or simply working out to induce a good sweat, cleanses the lymphatic system (the body's sewer system), thus easing the strain on the liver and kidneys
-
Deep organ detox can be enhanced with regular consumption of Hyssop Pine Tea
-
Compliment any detox program with Clear the Pathways to enhance the efficiency of 3 major detox channels: liver, lymphatic, and kidneys, thereby reducing detox side effects from toxins being pushed out of the body too fast.
-
Digestive Bitters improves the efficiency of toxin elimination through the bowels, Lung Support through the lungs, and Sacred Clay body slurries daily during a detox program keeps the skin, the largest detox organ, clear of releasing toxins that would otherwise result in itchy skin and skin breakouts or rashes.
6) A 30 day pathogen reduction program to build immune system powers and restore vital energy:
-
Immune Power (4-8 caps per day). Pathogen overgrowth (bacteria, yeast, viruses (exosomes), parasites, etc.) is one of the most common causes of that lethargic, run down feeling and fuzzy brain. This is the body's way of reducing energy expenditure so the body can place its energy reserves on dealing with the pathogens.
A short period on high levels (12+ capsules one or more times per day) of Immune Power assists the immune system to get ahead of the pathogen growth. Gentle, yet effective. (I have taken as much as 50+ caps per day to rapidly eliminate or shorten recovery from mold exposure, digestive disturbance, pathogen exposure, etc., without side effects, other than waking up feeling much better.)
-
Parasite-Venom Detox (4-6 caps twice per day for 20 days). An essential formula for managing the effects of toxins derived from recent "medical treatments for a virus" and the transmission of those toxins to others when within breath range. Serves as an excellent short term parasite reduction program.
-
Herbal C (1-3 tablespoons per day). Vitamin C, especially when derived from its whole herbal forms, is known to boost immune response powers, empower allergy response, assist in recycling glutathione for enhanced detoxification, and support DNA repair.
-
Friendly Flora (4-8 caps per day). Based in humic/fulvic earth as a nutritive and protector of probiotics, the soil-based organisms in the formula support digestive function, gut health, detoxification, and improved immune response.
-
Black Seed Combo (4 caps per day). For strong immune stimulation, yet not designed for those sensitive to increased immune activity. Assists in the detoxification of deep organ heat and toxic waste.
7) Build internal kidney & adrenal energy (qi) with simple qigong practices:
8) Address internal stress factors (fears, limitations, resentments, worry, etc.) utilizing The Gentle Art of Self-Healing:
Summary
With key improvements made in the following areas:
-
diet,
-
plus mineral and herbal nutrition to complement the diet,
-
supported by a quality detoxification and pathogen reduction protocol,
-
along with simple qigong energy balancing and building exercises,
-
coupled with internal transformational approaches,
then the strain on our hormone producers is lifted and internal balance is more rapidly restored.
As a result, the body, with its inherent wisdom, will be given the natural herbal resources, as well as the internal and external rebuilding power it needs to clean house and boost overall levels of libido, energy levels, mental acuity, and a more vital lifestyle as we mature.
Many blessings of health and success,
Enjoy the simple gifts from Nature!
