Hormone balance, libido, and the adrenals

Life happens.

None of us are immune to the curveballs life hurls our way — traffic jams, deadlines, bills, conflicts, relationships, bosses, in-laws, e-mails, politics…

I’ve been pretty open about my issues with stress and adrenal fatigue, it affects everything from my daily energy level to hormone balance to just trying to think clearly.

Well, the truth is that it wasn’t supposed to be this way. Our bodies — more specifically, our hormonal systems — were never meant to endure the chronic, non-stop stressors of modern times.

If I listed every single disease and health condition associated with chronic stress, this email would end up being way too long. (And that would probably stress you out!)

So today we’ll just focus on one thing —> your sex drive. Libido.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that whenever you’re under a lot of stress, which often happens when dealing infertility, the last thing you’re thinking about is making whoopee. (And that’s probably stressing your partner out!)

There’s a reason for that.

In a nutshell, your hormonal system has these two tiny glands, called the adrenals, that play a major role in the production of stress hormones (i.e. cortisol) and sex hormones (i.e. testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, etc).

When stress gets high, your adrenals likes to crank out lots and lots of stress hormones… BUT at the expense of your sex hormones.

In other words, stress hormones go up while sex hormones go down – and this affects your fertility just as it affects your libido.

The good news is that you can get your libido back and reignite your sex life…naturally.

My friend, and favorite podcaster, Sean Croxton of Underground Wellness is less than a week away from opening the doors to his online SexyBack Summit  with 7 days of presentations from 24 medical doctors, naturopaths, trainers, and nutritionists.

But you don’t have to wait until Sunday to get started. Sean put together a series of free videos called SexyBack Sessions to get you primed for the summit.

In today’s episode, The 2 Tiny Glands that Can Ruin Your Sex Life BIG Time (and ruin your hormone balance), clinical holistic nutritionist Christa Orecchio teaches you…

* Why feeling exhausted all day but having a “second wind” of energy at night is a telltale sign of spent adrenals.

* How refined sugar sends your blood sugar north and your sex hormones south.

* What your digestive health can tell you about your sexual energy. Who knew!?

I just signed up and am waiting for the download to finish. In my quest to heal my adrenals, I need all the help I can get!

When you register to attend The SexyBack Summit, you’ll get instant access to Christa’s video — plus, you’ll receive an email from Sean with links to download your SexyBack Sessions video series as well as info on how the summit works.

SexyBack Summit (no longer available)

The Summit starts next week, and you can be sure I’ll be listening in to the sessions each day – some of my favorite holistic practitioners will be interviewed on the many different ways to help balance hormones and bring your “SexyBack”. After the business of the Natural Fertility ebook Bundle sale this last week or two, I’m ready to just kick back, let me adrenals rest, and listen in on some great content! There are sessions on low testosterone, balancing the woman’s cycle, and more. And it’s all free to listen to the day the video is posted – can’t get better than that.
