Okay friend, does this sound too familiar? 

  • You wake up and are unable to function without a significant amount of caffeine.
  • You finally feel a boost of energy during the early part of the day.
  • Then your energy levels crash around 2 p.m., rise around 6 p.m., and fall again around 9 p.m.
Can stress cause extreme fatigue? Yes, it absolutely can. Energy levels can be affected by stress and chronic stress can affect your body’s ability to recuperate from physical, mental or emotional stress. I don't know about you but when I think about everything that is happening in the world, it stresses me out! So, what is that stress doing to our body? It can have a lot of side effects but let's talk specifically about how stress can affect the adrenal glands. 

Adrenal fatigue is a condition in which the body and adrenal glands can’t keep up with the tremendous amount of daily stress many people experience. Adrenal fatigue can mimic some precursors to other common illnesses and diseases, so it is often difficult to diagnose. 

Many wellness doctors believe that an episode of acute stress or prolonged (especially for over a year), ongoing stress can cause adrenal glands to become overloaded and ineffective, then improperly release cortisol. 


- Take steps to reduce stress on your body and your mind
- Eliminate toxins
- Replenishing your body with healthy foods, supplements

Speaking of supplements, did you know Young Living has a supplement called Cortistop, designed to address the way women’s bodies react to the cortisol produced when under stress??  Check it out here!



Be on the lookout for next week's blog. 
It's part 4 in this series. I'll be talking all about SLEEP!

Wishing you health and blessings, 

- Brandi B.

My Story in a Nutshell ðŸ¥œ

Over a decade ago, I began my journey into natural wellness, driven by a desire to live a cleaner, healthier life. From supporting my dad through his cancer journey to finding solutions for my own fertility struggles, improving gut health, and creating a low-tox home, this lifestyle has transformed how I care for myself and my family.

As a stay-at-home mom turned graphic designer, I discovered my purpose in helping entrepreneurs reduce the overwhelm of creating websites and digital assets. It’s truly an honor to be part of their missions, acting as a bridge to help them share their love, light, and message with the world.

My business is growing as I focus on meeting the unique needs of those I serve. Whether it’s through wellness guidance, design services, or customizable templates, I bring my time, heart, and skills to every project, collaborating with you to create meaningful solutions in a simplified way.
