I wouldn't wish what I've gone through recently on my worst enemy but I'm so glad I did and would do it again in a heartbeat...

Episode Notes

I wouldn't wish what I've gone through recently on my worst enemy but I'm so glad I did and would do it again in a heartbeat...

 

Today is another story of mine mixed with education from VGFN's head coach Alex Long talking about my recent adrenal fatigue journey.

 

I was in the hustle phase of building my business, wearing all the hats, and simultaneously testing my genetic potential when it came to the gym and seeing how well I could look and perform.

 

Doing everything all the same time left my cortisol flatlined and in need of help and several steps back. That's when I hired Alex.

 

In Part 1 today, we'll talk about my initial Dutch test results and my lack of cortisol, the role of the HPA Axis, and my gratitude to poor Omar for putting up with me as I went through withdraw of caffeine and other issues.
