Take a Ride on the Cortisol Coaster

By Ava Sammarco

As medical professionals, we globally, no matter your letters of your experience or expertise all share a common ailment – stress. Let’s face it – our lack of intelligence is not the reason nor is it our inability to be diligent. Any division of the medical field, including nursing, is not the easiest of tasks to achieve. We all understand diet, exercise, self-care, meditative practices, and breathing. We teach all of our patients about these topics; knowledge in these areas is not where we fall short. So, why do so many healthcare professionals suffer from poor health, stress, irritability, restless sleep when we are exhausted, weight gain, and difficulty staying focused on our off days? The constant on switch of fight or flight.

Nurses tend to stay in this process regardless of what they are doing, it is how we are trained. The constant need for adrenaline becomes a habit. Habits don’t separate from you when you clock out. A laughable statement is we leave work at work. This is physically impossible because our fight or flight switch has a short and is mostly on.  Every single one of us has worked bedside care whether it was briefly or our chosen expertise, caring for others who are sick, dying, or about to die is on every RNs resume. 

So, what does all of this have to do with our endless cup of coffee, the mid-shift need for sugar, irritability we tend to have at some point in our day brief or long, and the craving for something to relax us when our shift is over? It’s a lack of a high peak in our cortisol levels.

Our body repairs while we sleep but something happens to people between 2 and 4 am, a huge increase in cortisol levels. Medical professionals do not have the highest high during this time period as other people do. That lack of a huge increase to provide a steady decline all day is a source of many of the symptoms we face daily. Ask yourself, “when was the last time you had a cortisol level drawn?” Unless you’re going to a lab at 5 am, you probably have not had a precise one.

There is, however, a simple solution. Add an adrenal cortex supplement to your diet before your feet ever hit the floor and again mid-morning, in addition to powder vitamin C to assist in the absorption. This regimen can provide a higher level to fall from during the day. This results in better sleep, decreased irritability, attentiveness, and fewer cravings for physical assistance in relaxation be it processed carbohydrates or alcohol.

As with any supplement, you should get baseline blood work. You should track your habits of eating times and food eaten for two weeks prior to the visit to help your physician understand your routine. Transparency is necessary to provide the best possible outcomes. If your physician is not willing or is unfamiliar with homeopathic medicine, there is a Florida-based company, happy to assist you. This will be an out-of-pocket expense for a consult but labs typically are covered through your insurance, Andregenoinx is a great resource and innovative leader. 

Let’s beat the burnout by treating the problem, not masking the symptoms.

I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Ogaga is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he brake up with me again.

    My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

    Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about a month ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on You Tube and I invested a huge sum of money around £475,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin. They locked my account and requested more money before I could access it, and that was how I realized I was being conned. I saw a post on Quora about GEO COORDINATES HACKER With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had. In less than 48 hours I was able to recover my Bitcoin. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. They are capable of recovering any crypto coins Bitcoin.

    Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@outlook.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
