Ep.82 Why I Stopped Working Out - My Adrenal Fatigue Story Part 1 with Alex Long

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.  Time Stamps:  (0:00) Exploring Adrenal Health Story (2:05) Vanessa Hiring a Coach (8:20) Dutch Test (11:35) Cortisol Explained (17:45) HPA Axis (23:52) Poor Omar (33:20) End of Part 1---------------------Download Our FREE Workout Program---------------------Home Gym Equipment We Recommended:Resistance Bands SetFlybird BenchFlybird DumbbellsBowflex Adjustable Kettlebell---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
