A Vicious Cycle with Nutrients
Nutrients such as vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and zinc are essential for adrenal gland health. These nutrients are also essential for the production of neurotransmitters and hormones in your body and the proper functioning of all your organs.

Foods such as avocados, potatoes, bananas, chicken, peaches, cantaloupe, salmon, tuna, lima beans, and dried apricots nourish your adrenal glands.

This creates what I call emotional holding patterns, or EHPs, where your mind and body remain affected and continue to respond to emotional experiences as if they were still occurring, even though they might have finished.

Biologically speaking, your brain has the ability to create new neural connections based on what you experience. This ability is what doctors call neuroplasticity significant events alter the neural pathways in our brain, causing new nerve connections to be formed in order to cope with the stress and to anticipate similar events that may occur in the future. These new neural connections alter your perception of the world and of yourself so that things do not appear the same as they used to be when you were vibrant and happy. These new neural pathways also alter the entire physiology of your body, causing organs to function differently and causing chemicals, enzymes, and hormones to be made in different amounts, both of which directly affect your health and hinder your ability to recover emotionally
