  Adrenals are tiny organs that sit on top of your kidneys. They are part of the endocrine system and regulate stress, metabolism, and a variety of other functions. Cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone, or simply DHEA, are stress hormones produced by the adrenals. Chronic stress causes the adrenal glands to produce excess levels of cortisol and DHEA and can lead to exhaustion of the adrenal glands. DHEA is perhaps the most abundant steroid hormone in the body, so its decrease in level can be detrimental to overall well-being. So now you know your top root cause, you’re off to an awesome start!

What's that got to do with my migraines? According to a recent study, insomnia is on the rise… And it’s no wonder when you think of our culture’s high stress levels and total reliance on technology. Computer and smartphone screens emit a wavelength of light in the blue spectrum, which signals your body to wake up. When you use your devices within two or three hours of bedtime, your body can’t make the melatonin it needs for a refreshing, rejuvenating sleep…So pick your ideal lights out time and press pause on your screens well before then!On top of that, try managing the stress that might be keeping you up after hours by taking up meditation. This will lower your cortisol levels throughout the day so that by night you’re able to fall fast asleep.P.S.
