Best Chronic Fatigue Doctor Tips: Hormones and Herbs

By Dr. Nicole Sundene, NMD

Chronic fatigue from imbalanced female hormones and adrenal stress hormones commonly can affect a woman's productivity and energy levels. My “Invincible Mommy Tea” herbal recipe is designed to decrease stress, boost immunity, balance hormones, optimize weight and perfect skin.

ASHWAGANDHA: Is the most important herb for frazzled burnt out Mom’s and broken souls. Neverending “Lifeguard Mode” watching kids can fry even the calmest Mom’s adrenal glands and cause trouble sleeping, imbalanced female hormones, constant anxiety, panic attacks and eventually just a blah depressed and drained state that is not improved by antidepressants. It can be used as a daily tonic or just for situational support. It’s mild enough for children and women that are pregnant or breastfeeding. Most Mom’s don’t have the time to pop a valium and take a nap. Research shows it actually heals nerve pain. So whether you have neuropathy like me and drink it often, or whether your “nerves are fried” after a tough day of parenting. I believe this gentle root is just what an agitated and exhausted soul needs right now! ❤️✅

ASTRAGALUS- The “Shield Herb” for daily immune protection. If you feel physically weak, depleted, drained and exhausted Astragalus will slowly build you back up. In Chinese Medicine they say it “keeps the thieves out”. So when you drink your daily astragalus tea you are “locking your doors” to the latest virus circulating.

LICORICE- In a small low dose works to rejuvenate a weak burnt out soul with low cortisol levels. It contains antiviral properties and immune enhancing properties and helps boost energy so that less caffeine consumption is needed and tastes sweet so we are happy with our tea and do not binge on sugar.

CINNAMON- Recovering from postpartum weight gain for many mom’s means getting insulin levels to return to normal. For many Mom’s this never happens. Insulin when elevated such as in PCOS is a leading culprit behind many health problems mom’s struggle from: Weight Gain, High Blood Pressure, Inflammation, Pain, Neuropathy, Diarrhea and Headaches.

RASPBERRIES- Are delicious and make the tea a treat but more importantly they are rich in flavonoids that balance women’s hormones and blood sugar. They protect and perfect the skin so Mommy looks fabulous at all times.
