We Must Find Balance from Stress or Experience Dis-Ease.
We are under constant stress in this time of history. All stressors add one on top of another to cause dysfunction and can lead to many forms of Dis-ease. This is where the Six Interferences comes into play to evaluate those areas of stress and utilizing the Six Steps to Wellness to neutralize the cause of the ill effects.Stressors:
- Structural
- Emotional
- Nutritional
- Electromagnetic
- Allergies & Sensitivities
- Toxic Accumulation from heavy metals & many other toxins
Everyday stressors feed the fire at 1+1+1+1= potential disaster yielding many symptomatic expressions such as:
- Feel anxious and have trouble sleeping at night.
- Experience “brain fog” or difficulty remembering names and appointments.
- Feel tired and fatigued during the day.
- Can’t resist eating sweets and junk food.
- Find yourself overusing caffeine and other stimulants.
- Don’t have the energy (and motivation) to get things done.


Opti-Adrenal from OHS is the best nutritional support I have ever seen or used to combat almost every aspect of stress. The Glandulars specifically address each organ and system that is compromised. The B vitamins are intricate along with the other vitamins and minerals to give a complete compliment support along with the herbal adaptogens. These adaptogens are unique plant substances the help restore and balance to normal functions, including the very important immune system.
Much of the system breakdown and symptomatic expressions come from the exhaustion of our adrenal glands. – The “glands of stress.” These two important glands are located just above each of your kidneys. Being part of our endocrine system, the adrenal glands are the number one key to overall hormonal, metabolic and thyroid health.
Your adrenal glands secrete more than 50 hormones that are essential for your well-being. Three key ones include aldosterone, which helps regulate your blood pressure and blood volume, adrenaline, and cortisol, your body’s stress hormone.
When your body detects anything stressful (real or not), whether it be physical, emotional, mental, hormonal, biochemical, inside or outside your body, your adrenal glands mobilize your body’s stress response by releasing cortisol.
A rise in cortisol leads to a “fight of flight” response, which speeds up your sympathetic nervous system. While cortisol is important for your body’s functions, too high of levels and too frequent fight-or flight responses can:
- Create an imbalance in your hormones and brain neurotransmitters, potentially leading to poor sleep, headaches, occasional feelings of anxiousness and moodiness.
- Impact your blood sugar, energy, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Contribute to faster cellular aging and body pain.
- Impair your immune response to threats.
- Lead to weight gain and increase in fat storage (belly fat is often a telltale sign of too much cortisol).
