With all this talk about detoxification around here lately, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce you all to a wonderful traditional beverage that my family loves!  It is called kombucha, and it also happens to be a great detoxifier!  I’m sure that many of you already know about this wonder drink, but for those that don’t, please allow me to share with you all the numerous benefits and a simple recipe to start making your own.

I got an amazing gift from my brother this past Christmas.  He lives in Alberta, and I in Ontario, so I don’t get to see him often.  He was coming home for Christmas for a couple of weeks, so I asked him to build me a sauna while he was here, being the handy guy he is.  Well, he did one better – he bought me one!  I was completely shocked and blown away!

If you are a person with adrenal exhaustion, stimulants containing caffeine like coffee, tea, or chocolate are the last thing you need to add insult to injury!  Unfortunately though, adrenal fatigue is so commonplace that to start your day without a cup of coffee would be out of the ordinary.  We are so burned out, over worked and chronically fatigued that the use of stimulants to keep us going at our crazy pace is just, well, normal!  It is a vicious cycle though, because even though these common stimulants give us more energy, it is only temporary and does not solve the problem.  In fact, coffee wears down the adrenal glands even more making the adrenal fatigue worse!  Thank goodness I never became addicted to drinking coffee, or else I would be in much worse shape than I am now.
