feels like im not healing, adrenals still bad

I thought I was doing really well for the past few weeks aside from the herxing, then I started a supplement containing maca to try and increase my testosterone and balance things out.... big mistake.

every time I take something that even slightly alters my adrenals it puts me right back to a bad place of brain fog, forgetfulness, confusion, tiredness.

I feel like if my hormones are not healing how can I even heal?? I mean if I get set back from something as minor as maca root, how am I supposed to handle daily stressors of work/life once I get back on my feet???

I guess I'll just stick to ginseng for now :/

Adrenals can heal very slowly. The 6-8 adrenal adaptogens are all a little different. I remember a couple of them would rev me up - NOT what they were supposed to do. A year later, I could tolerate them.

I always had good results with holy basil for taking the edge off and L-theanine for a clear thinking but relaxed brain.

Which ones rev you up?

The adaptations range from hot to cool.

Holy basil alone is "cool", very calming. Its not like the others. Only 10-$14 per 60.

I dont like the adrenal support "mixes" because they put in the "hot" ones, which reved me up to.

Well ginsing is in energy drinks for a reason, its a "hot" herb among the adaptogins.

Your using the wrong adaptogins.

Again, holy basil is the opposite.

I never used Maca.

I think adrenals take time to heal after the lyme is gone.
