One of my favorite suggestions for people with adrenal fatigue is to start nourishing their mineral supply, their sleep, and reducing stress. The key word is nourish.
This evening oatmeal is wonderful for that. Those of you who are concerned that I am asking someone to eat near bedtime have a good point. But realize those with true adrenal fatigue should not necessarily fast for too long of a period of time because fasting can cause further cortisol imbalance. Those who have adequate adrenal function should not eat this before bedtime but perhaps at another time.
If you are unclear about whether or not you have adrenal fatigue you may request a four point cortisol test like the adrenal stress index that is offered through many naturopathic physician offices.
