Adrenal Balance

Balancing adrenal functions is crucial for overall health, as Grace Liu discusses the impact of diet and lifestyle on adrenal health. She notes that extreme diets, like super paleo, can harm adrenal glands, leading to imbalances in hormones such as cortisol and DHEA 2. Grace advocates for regular hormone testing to maintain optimal adrenal function and longevity.

You can't have that if you're constantly damaging adrenals by starving. Restricted dieting, yoyo, dying SCD, super paleo.

Additionally, she highlights the role of gut health in supporting adrenal balance, suggesting the use of sauerkraut shots and probiotics to detoxify and support gut flora 3. These strategies help unload toxins like glyphosate, promoting a healthier internal environment.
