Josh Rubin’s interview on episode one, was one of the most popular in the series, so I gather most of you know him well.  Honestly, I just love working with him anyways, so whether you guys liked him or not, he was coming back. Josh is a CHEK Level 4, Certified Nutritionist and is about to complete his studies in Osteopathic Medicine. If you don’t know Josh yet, I highly recommend you listen to his first interview on Metabolism and look him up as @realfoodganstas on Instagram.  Josh has been helping people heal, using nutritional foundations, from metabolic issues such as thyroid disease and various fatigue syndromes for many years.  Adrenal Fatigue is a term coined by the functional medicine practice.  It has been helpful in many ways in recognising that there is such a thing as physiological burnout.  We need to make space for that or we will never heal.  But Josh and I really share the view that the blanket diagnosis and protocol skims the surface and may limit you in terms of recovery. Today we would like to discuss the adrenals and what they do and if they really can get fatigued or not.  We also talk about what we need to do to get out of this syndrome that allows you to return to a fully nourished and energetic state, enjoying life.   In this episode we discuss: Hans seyle General and Adaptation Syndrome Supplements Food intolerances Stage 1-3 of adrenal fatigue  The Saliva test and unbound cortisol  Sugar and salt cravings Mineral ratios  Adrenal thyroid relationship  Temp and pulse Histamine intolerance  Oestrogen dominance Liver detoxification myths Stress hormone addiction Finding the root cause of dysfunction    I highly recommend Josh’s program, the RTN Method. He and his wife Jeanne are available for one on one and group sessions and you can find them at www.eastwesthealing.com and on instagram as @realfoodgangstas.   If you took something away from this episode, I would love it if you shared it on instagram and tagged @realfoodgangstas and @leilalutz  I would also be so grateful if you would rate and review the podcast.  And remember to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
