How Work Moms Can Take Back Control of Their Energy Levels
How Working Moms Can Take Back Control of Their Energy Levels
by Dr Ian Stern CCN
If you are a woman struggling to balance the demands of a family and a business, this may be the most exciting news you read this year.
In our society, moms are constantly pushing themselves to be the best. Juggling the demands of a household, kids, cooking, cleaning, working…the list goes on.
The constant expectation to stay on top of everything is not only exhausting, it’s debilitating.
Consider this, you are going full steam ahead only weeks (maybe less) after bringing a new life into this world.
Labor is no picnic and most women aren’t afforded the opportunity to rest, recover and rejuvenate before being flung into full-time mom. You may feel society expects you to “bounce back” right away.
What’s the result of all of this demand on our bodies without adequate rest and recovery?
The answer is a condition called Adrenal Fatigue, the most common hormonal condition affecting women in the United States.
The adrenal glands, which sit above the kidneys, are responsible for managing stress.
However, without adequate levels of deep sleep and recovery they can become fatigued and wreak havoc on a woman’s hormonal balance.
You see, your adrenals love routine. They love consistent sleep, regular meals and low stress. You know, all those things you had before the birth of your child.
What does adrenal fatigue look like?
1. “No matter how little or how well I eat, it's hard for me to lose weight.”
Blame it on: high cortisol
Trouble losing stubborn belly fat? Constant cravings for sugar and carbs making a consistent diet feel like a marathon through a mine field? The problem can be the stress hormone cortisol. Women with adrenal fatigue experience cortisol spikes which kick their body into “fight or flight mode.” Your body reacts to the biological trigger that food may become scarce and holds on to your fat stores at any cost.
2. “I’m constantly getting sick” or “I take a long time to recover.”
Blame it on: high adrenaline and cortisol.
It’s no secret that periods of high stress can often lead to sickness. That is because one of the primary functions of your adrenal glands is to regulate your immune function. When this system is chronically stressed and depleted, your body will be a lot more susceptible to all forms of sickness.
3. “I can’t survive the morning without coffee!”
Blame it on: Low cortisol in the morning
Remember how we mentioned that adrenal fatigue causes the pattern of cortisol release to go haywire? This means that after a night of heavy cortisol release, your body eases up in the morning, when you need it the most! Combined with a night of restless sleep, this energy dip in the morning can make life miserable. Coffee can seem like the obvious solution but it actually digs a deeper hole because it creates more irregular spikes in adrenaline and other stress hormones.
4. “I’m exhausted at night but can’t fall asleep”
Blame it on: Cortisol levels spiking at the wrong time.
A woman with healthy adrenal function will have the highest levels of cortisol early in the day and the lowest levels at bedtime. However, for a woman suffering from adrenal fatigue this pattern goes haywire. Cortisol levels spike at night which put your brain in high alert mode. The result? Although, your body will be tired, you will lie in bed mind racing, unable to fall asleep, or drift off but only into a light sleep, easily woken by the smallest sound.
5. “I’m not seeing the results I’d like from exercising.”
Blame it on: Cortisol from Stress + More Cortisol from Exercise= less muscle!
Exercise (especially high intensity exercise) causes cortisol production. For those with healthy adrenal function this controlled stress is necessary. However, someone with compromised adrenal function is in a constant state of “overtraining.” This is because cortisol is a catabolic hormone meaning it causes you to break down muscle for energy. So going to the gym could actually be doing you more harm than good!
What step can you take today to support your adrenals?
If the symptoms above sound all too familiar, I know how frustrated you feel.
The good news is that there is a solution.
With consistent effort, proper supplementation, and lifestyle changes, your adrenal
system can be rewired to serve you, instead of working against you.
Imagine… waking up feeling well-rested and energized, ready for the day ahead. That cup of coffee will no longer dictate your mood because your natural energy well will feel full. And when night-time comes, you will drift peacefully into sleep instead of fighting with it.
I know this may seem too good to be true, but change IS possible.
If you are tired of struggling with this, I want to help.
I have dedicated the last 20+ years to figuring out the puzzle of human health so that I could best serve my patients.
Thousands of women have used my advice to climb their way out of the darkness of adrenal fatigue so that they can feel motivated and in control again.
One pillar of my advice was always Supplementation.
The quality of the nutrients that are commonly available in our foods has become very low due to soil depletion and poor farming practices.
However, as trade-off for this negative, modern times give us the ability to find and use healing herbs from all over the world.
I had been recommending several brands of supplements for many years in my practice, but I grew increasingly frustrated by the lack of quality and ethics in the supplement industry.
I knew that the only way I could recommend a product that I could stand behind completely was if I created it myself.
So, Dr. Stern Supplements was born.
Witnessing how much of an epidemic Adrenal Fatigue had become, I knew that my first formula had to address this problem.
Using all my experience with different healing herbs, as well as cutting-edge clinical data, I created Relax Adrenal Support as my premier formula.

"I love this product! I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatique and my cortisol level was a mess. I've been taking Relax for almost a year and feel an amazing. I sleep through the night, peacefully and wake up energized, ready to start my day. I'm more resiliant when it comes to dealing with stressful situations. Im so happy Dr. Stern turned me on to this life changing product."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Emanuela
"I forgot what feeling well rested felt like. After taking a high stress- job with long hours in NYC, I began consuming more and more coffee, putting on weight, and had difficulty “winding-down” in the evenings. Since I began taking this supplement, I have noticed a big difference in the way I feel. I have less cravings for bad food and have already dropped a few pounds. I also have been waking up feeling much more refreshed in the morning with the same amount of sleep. It only takes me a few minutes to feel awake in the morning as opposed to dragging my butt until I got out of the house like I did before. (my fiancé noticed the difference in my morning energy right away as he always used to make fun of how unapproachable I was in the am)"
