Check out the Rhodiola I use in the linktree in my bio! Alaska Rhodiola is the purest Rhodiola I have found! ✨When your order comes in, you simply fill the dropper up as far as it goes and put it in a shot glass of water - do that first thing in the morning and then again before lunch!✨ 🌿This healing is possible, because Rhodiola is an adaptogenic Herb and adaptogens reduce cortisol and minimize time spent in the sympathetic state by preventing over reactions to stress. This is accomplished through modulating/calming the HPA axis the system coordinating the fight or flight or freeze response. You will still deal with stressors on a regular basis, but adaptogens help buffer your stress response so pressures of daily life don’t trigger the release of stress hormones. A balanced and resilient nervous system helps you stay calm and collected when dealing with adversity or pressure. This also applies to common daily stressors that build tension overtime. calming the HPA axis, reduces your mind bodies, unnecessary stress load, giving you more bandwidth to process more productive challenges. Adaptogens act as a buffer to help keep the stress response from pushing deep into the sympathetic state. This is called the stress-protective effect, and it’s the most studied and published benefit of Adaptogens. Weight loss is especially possible with Rhodiola because it lowers your cortisol which speeds your metabolism back up and stops visceral fat from storing on your abdomen. Additionally, Rhodiola triggers the release of a substance called hormone sensitive lipase, which allows your body to utilize the fat stored in your abdomen for energy. Lastly, Rhodiola regulates blood sugar, and sometimes weight gain can come from blood sugar fluctuations. Please always research before starting any new herbs, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, on any prescription medications, or have any diagnosed conditions. DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE BIPOLAR AS RHODIOLA MAY INDUCE BIPOLAR RAGE/MANIA. #stress #stressrelief #sign #cortisol #weightloss #howtoloseweight #howtolowercortisol
