On page 1, we discussed how stress is what makes your body feel fatigued, groggy, painful, and just completely out of sorts — not adrenal fatigue. And on page 2, we talked about how your best defense against stress is a good night’s sleep.
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup walnuts • 2 lbs ripe heirloom tomatoes • Kosher salt, to taste • Black pepper, to taste • 1/4 cup vegan blue cheese • 1 tbsp fresh dill
• Chopped fresh Italian parsley, to taste • 3 tbsp olive oil • 2 tbsp red wine or balsamic vinegar • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
But what if you’re getting eight hours of sleep a night and still feel tired, sluggish, and completely stressed out?
It’s a great question, and many of the people who believe they have adrenal fatigue have no problem sleeping and still report symptoms of the mythical illness. If this sounds like you, here are a few things you can do to reduce stress and help your body deal with it moving forward. No. 1: Recognize stress so you can counter it. The first and most important step to reducing your stress is realizing when you’re stressed in the first place. If your body shows signs of fatigue, exhaustion, and mental grogginess, something is happening. So, whenever you feel the symptoms you may have attributed initially to adrenal fatigue, take a second to ask yourself, “Is something stressing me out?” You may realize that the same things begin to pop up over and over whenever you experience symptoms, and you’ll know that those problems are the ones you need to solve to help your body combat stress.
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. On a baking sheet, toast the walnuts in the oven for 12–14 minutes. 2. Wash and slice the tomatoes. Place slices on a platter, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Scatter toasted walnuts and vegan blue cheese on top, followed by dill and preferred amount of parsley. 4. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, wine or vinegar, and garlic to make the dressing. 5. Spoon dressing evenly over salad and serve. Directions

Once you identify the problems, make a plan to solve them. What can you do to minimize their impact on your life?
No. 2: Take time for yourself. Even when people feel stressed, they often try to push through it because if they take a second off to recoup, they’re being “lazy.” This is entirely untrue, and the more you force your body to push through stress, the more damage you’re inflicting on yourself. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious, make time for yourself in the day to do what YOU want, even if that requires saying “no” to plans with others. No. 3: Ask others for help. One of the best things you can do to help reduce your stress is to talk with others about it. Often, you’ll find that your friends and family are going through the same thing! Or, maybe someone you know once tackled a similar issue and has some advice you can use that helped them manage their stress better.
