Controlling Stress and Fatigue
Chronic constant stress is a real problem in
today’s society. Your body was made to handle short-term stress 10 to 20
minutes with out a problem but when we are subject to chronic prolonged stress
the adrenal glands can become fatigued. You may have heard of the term Adrenal
Exhaustion. Under prolonged stress the adrenal glands will produce
excess cortisol levels this can play havoc on the entire endocrine system
including the thyroid. Cortisol levels also have a direct relationship with the
thyroid, and the adrenal glands as they act synergistically with
one another. Cortisol assists the thyroid hormone in working more efficiently,
and the correct amount of cortisol – not too high or too low – supports normal
thyroid function. When cortisol gets too high, triggered by the adrenal glands
response to elevated stress, it causes a delayed response to the thyroid
hormone receptors. When this occurs, the hormones aren’t allowed to work at
optimal levels, leaving you feeling sluggish, tired and affecting your metabolism.
The imbalance of cortisol levels can also be the root cause of weight gain.
Symptoms of Adrenal exhaustion:
•
Sleep difficulties (waking up during the middle
of the night)
•
Tired during the day and come to life ~11pm
•
Weight gain especially visceral fat (fat around
the belly and hips)
•
Hormone Imbalance
•
Weakened immunity
•
Decreased muscle tone and strength
•
Decreased cognitive functioning
•
Insulin resistance
•
E-D (Erectile Dysfunction)
While most people turn to stimulates like
coffee, sodas and medication, that will only cause the adrenals to become even
more exhausted. It’s like beating a tired horse eventually the horse just gives
out. The solution is to feed and nourish both adrenal glands and Thyroid with
keys nutrients called adaptogens (herbs that work synergistically allowing
the body to appropriately respond to stress).
Unlike stress-relief formulas, which may simply
work to tranquilize, the ACTS formula functions as adaptogen. TLS ACTS helps
to balance excess cortisol levels supporting both adrenal and thyroid function.
You can find many
herbal formulas, which have developed over the years, to help individuals deal with stress. What I
love about the ACTS formula is that it has so many of the individual herbs that many have
used, like Ashwagandha root, Passion Flower Extract & Holy Basil. Having
this comprehensive formula works great and is much easer and less expensive
that buying them individually. I would like to also suggest that exercise
should be a part of everyone’s lifestyle as it can relieve stress and help to
balance the cortisol levels as well.

“I am a personal trainer and weight management
coach. I personally have used the TLS ACTS formula with great success with many
of my clients. I have seen it make a difference in their energy, mood and
weight loss as well as helping improve sleep. I have a lot of clients who are
going thru menopause and this formula has helped along with the use of
Activated B-Complex. Depending on the severity I have used 2 ACTS capsules with
1 cap of the Isotonix B-Complex two times per day. When the hormones are out of
balance it is near impossible to help my clients reach their weight loss goals.
The ACTS formula works quickly and starts to stabilize the cortisol levels and
allows my clients to get the rest they need to both get healthy and achieve
there weight loss goals.”

Isotonix® Activated B-Complex
It is B vitamins that feed the nervous system.
A lack of vitamin B in your regimen may impact your physical health in
different ways. B Vitamins are meagerly supplied in the American diet along
with the fact that sugar destroys our B vitamins as well. Hundreds of
biochemical reactions in the body are supported by B-vitamins, and vitamin B
deficiency can lead to fatigue and lethargy. A B-complex vitamin is one
component of eight essential B-vitamins that are critical to metabolism at the
cellular level. Taking an activated form of B-complex can help to maintain
healthy levels of serotonin, increase energy and decrease stress.
However, some B-vitamins, such as B6, B12 and
folic acid, must undergo chemical changes before they can be utilized by the
body. Some people genetically do not break down these 3 key B vitamins. This is
why it is important to use an Activated from. I feel an Activated form of
B-Complex should be a part of everyone’s daily routine due to the deficiency in
our diet especially those dealing with high levels of stress and adrenal
fatigue.
Isotonix Activated B-Complex
delivers metabolically active forms of several vitamins and minerals in
isotonic form, ensuring that your body receives and uses vital nutrients
quickly and efficiently.
Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears
the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids
in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The
body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent
maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used
in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state.
Prime™ Dreamz
Getting a solid good nights sleep is essential to your health.
When the body is under prolonged amounts of stress sleep habits can be
disturbed. I have had great results with the Prime Dreamz formula. Prime Dreamz contains all-natural ingredients designed to help
people fall quickly into a deep sleep and awaken feeling refreshed, not groggy
and tired. Prime Dreamz is formulated to help even the lightest
sleepers reach the last and most important stages of sleep. Dreamz is a
combination of Magnesium, Passion flower, Chamomile and Melatonin.
•
Helps give you the deep, restful third and
fourth stages of sleep
•
Improves sleep quality
•
Has calming properties to help you relax
•
Helps to stabilize mood
“I can tell you that I used Dreamz because I
was lucky if I was getting 4 hours each night. I took it about 30 minutes prior
to going to bed. I fell asleep quickly and if I woke up in the middle of the
night to do the potty thing, when I went back to bed I fell back asleep right
away and woke up fully refreshed. After about 5 nights of using Dreamz, I no
longer have to take it and have no problems sleeping. I am taking the Isotonix
Multi-Tech and OPC-3 and I believe that that is helping as well. I started
taking all 3 products right around the same time.”
