I’m Laura and with me as always is Kelsey. Kelsey: Hey everybody. Laura: Today we are going to be talking about all of the different underlying causes of adrenal fatigue syndrome, which as we mentioned last time is also referred to as HPA axis dysregulation. Last time we primarily focused on the way that a strict Paleo diet and lifestyle can actually be counterproductive to adrenal health. Today we are going to dive a little bit deeper into the vast array of different potential causes of adrenal fatigue. You may be wondering why we’re going so hardcore into adrenal fatigue. If you haven’t noticed from our Facebook, and, emails and all of that, we are putting together an adrenal fatigue program. Right now we’re in the beta test phase of it. We have about 30 participants that are going through the program, and giving us feedback, and helping us refine it so that it is the best program on the market for helping people heal from adrenal fatigue. It’s funny, every time we do a podcast, or an article, or anything, we start realizing oh my gosh, we could put all this information into the program. I feel like it’s going to be a lot bigger and more awesome that it was even when we first designed it and launched it for the beta. What do you think, Kelsey? Kelsey: Yeah, I think so too. It’s really great because we’re in week two of the beta program right now and we’re getting a lot of great feedback from our participants. I think it’s going really well already and it’s going to get even better with all this extra information that we’re going to include as well. Laura: Yeah, I think what’s really interesting to me just interacting with the people in the Facebook group is that it seems like everyone kind of has their own reason for adrenal fatigue. Some people going through the diet module, they’ve been having all these really awesome realizations about their diet not being appropriate and they’re realizing maybe they’re not eating enough, maybe they’re not eating the right types of foods. So they’re already feeling better just making these little diet tweaks. And then we have other people who they go through the diet module and then they say okay, actually I am eating this way, so maybe diet is not a problem. Sometimes people can get a little frustrated when they go through some kind of training and say well, I’m already doing all this, so that’s not helpful. But in my opinion, and this is something that I see with a lot of clients, sometimes knowing that you’re doing everything right is actually really helpful because it can take some of the stress off of you feeling like you’re not doing what you’re supposing to be doing. Kelsey: Yeah. I think that’s huge. Often when I work with clients,
