My Story: Living with Adrenal Fatigue and How I Recovered.

I set up miss nutritionist 5 years ago. As soon as I had my certificate from ION I was seeing clients literally on that day. Since then Miss N has been going from strength to strength but it certainly hasn’t been easy!! After graduating I realised that I knew nothing about running a business and had to learn fast so I hired a coach for the first 6 months.

As the years went on I started to see loads of clients – one on one – plus I put on my own talks and began working with large corporate companies.

Ignoring everything and working at the speed of light with no rest or good food I finally collapsed. I was walking in the park about a year ago and I literally fell to the ground.

During this time I also decided to develop my first line of food products: The Dynabites. These were born completely by accident. I invented them at home one day and started to sample them on my clients who told me they were so good that I had to get them in the shops! So I found a factory, got some investment and launched them earlier this year.

I was super excited about these new products and couldn’t wait to get them in the shops.

Now that I was running two business’s there was a lot more pressure and I was being pulled in two directions. The workload was intense which meant little sleep and my diet my went out of the window. At the same time, I had some personal relationship stressors that resulted in quite sad consequences.

Are you surprised? Probably not. But I really was.

For a while, I didn’t know what was going on and I thought I needed to take a couple of days off. But when I did that and still felt exhausted I realised that something bigger was at stake. I started digging deeper and did some tests on myself and the conclusion was clear. I had full-blown adrenal fatigue.

After I collapsed I went home, climbed into bed and basically stayed there for 3 months straight. At my worst I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow.

I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk. I’d reached rock bottom and thought I was never going to be me again.

So what did I do? I changed everything …

The first thing had to do was slow down. I stopped working and had to make time to rest and sleep. For the first month, I was sleeping 14 hours a night, napping during the day and was waking up feeling completely and utterly exhausted. Imagine your worst hangover, x10, every day. This is how I felt.

I totally changed my diet. I stopped exercising completely and I took some serious healing supplements for months.

The final part of the recovery was changing my mindset. I knew that my negative thoughts about the condition were sabotaging my health so in time I change this with the help of some CBT therapy. I also read a ton of books and started to do daily mediation and yoga.

Trying to run two businesses from your bed with adrenal fatigue was taxing. Today I’m about 90% recovered and have totally changed how I respond to everything in my life. My energy is back and I’m living my life with a new and improved perspective.

Now it’s my mission to help other women to transform their energy just by making small changes to their diet and lifestyle.
