1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Hi, welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tiphoul. I'd

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: which I'm recording this podcast, the wrendry people of the

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: cooler Nation. I pay my respects for elders past and present.

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Lee contacted me with a great question. So I think

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: there's another fake TikTok trend going around, Tiff, but I'd

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: love your take on it, the adrenal mocktail. It's supposed

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: to help boost your cortisol levels and balance your hormones.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: But do you think it'll actually work? Okay, So there's

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: always a trend at the moment. It's ballet bodies and

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: yoga boobs, you know. And I just hate these trends,

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the fashion of bodies and physicality and all of these

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: nutrition trends as well, and these weird drinks. I mean,

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: we were just at the point where people were snorting

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and drinking raw protein powder without any liquid. I mean, seriously,

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: we've got to stop. We've got to stop, and we've

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: got to really look look at what is it that

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: this trend is telling us to do, and what are

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: the benefits, and is it coming from a credible source.

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: So what's in the mocktail? I had to look into

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: this fresh citrus juice, coconut water, sea salt, and you

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: can opt to add in cream of tatar or coconut

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: cream or milk. Now, how does it work? The adrenal

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: cocktail focuses on three nutrients your vitamin C, sodium, and potassium,

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: and these are key to maintaining your adrenal health. And

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: this trio also helps maintain hormone stability, proper hydration, and

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: electrote electrolyte balance. Okay, but I don't know. The ingredients

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: in the cocktail have a lot of glucose in them,

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: so or sugar, So it's going to give you a

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of calories and as much as it's definitely going

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: to give you some you know, hydration and boosts of electrolytes.

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: You got to think, am I really out of whack

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: with my cortzolt? Okay? So I had to look at

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: each ingredient here. The orange juice adds glucose and vitamin

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: C to support immune system and acts as an antioxidant

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: to help protect your adrenals against oxidative stress, which is great.

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: That alone orange juice is fantastic. You can put aluvira

38
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: in there for its anti inflammatory properties and the sea salt.

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: You know, your body needs electrolytes and salts to stay balanced,

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: so definitely, if you're stressed out of your brain, having

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: more electrolytes is going to help balance things out. And

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: basically this cocktail aims to replenish the body's adrenal glands

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: and because of this, it's going to counter fatigue and

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: help you have more energy. But you've got to first

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: look at whether you're whether your adrenal glands are out

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: of whack. Okay, what are the signs? So the signs

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: that they're out of whack are extreme fatigue, weight loss

48
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: or decrease, appetite, darkening of your skin in, low blood pressure,

49
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: even fainting, salt cravings, low blood sugar, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting,

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: abdominal pain. Okay, Now these are pretty hard core, So

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's really got these symptoms having the

52
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Cortisolt cocktail. And I think that you really have to say, well,

53
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: what's the point. Like I see, there's a huge trend

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: at the moment of taking electrolytes and people aren't actually

55
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: even training hard enough to even need the electrolytes, right,

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: So they're just putting stuff in their bodies that their

57
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: bodies don't need. And one of the best things was

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: ever said to me was by a dietitian I was

59
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: seeing and I was wanting to take a lot of supplements,

60
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, everything you put in your body, your

61
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: body has to work hard to process and deal with.

62
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: So the more supplements you put in your body, the

63
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: harder your body is actually working, and that will contribute

64
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: to your fatigue rather than boosting your energy levels. So

65
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: pull back on the supplements, pull back on anything unnecessary

66
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: in your body, and your body will actually work to

67
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: have energy more efficiently. And that just made a whole

68
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me. So I always ask yourself,

69
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: am I actually in a deficit? Or like, am I

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: missing vitamin B? Before I go get vitamin B shots?

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Am my adrenals really out of whack? Before I go

72
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: taking a cortisol mocktail? You know, I think you need

73
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: to ask yourself that question and then look at ways

74
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: you can manage stress more effectively, because chronic stress is

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: the primary cause of adrenal dysfunction. So for me, that's meditation.

76
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Bit of mindfulness, deep breathing exercises I love and you've

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: heard me doing this podcasts, yoga, and then you know,

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: little things like setting boundaries, say no to excessive commitments,

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: or prioritizing self care super important, and spending time in nature.

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: Walking in green spaces is proven to lower stress hormones

81
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: and improve your mood. After you do all of those

82
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: things to manage stress, you can look at at optimizing

83
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: your nutrition to deal with and support the adrenal recovery.

84
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: And those things are healthy fats of avocados, nuts, seeds,

85
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: olive oils, complex carbohydrates, sweet potato and quinoa and oats.

86
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: And then your protein you fish, your poultry, your eggs,

87
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: your beans, your legumes, and those things are going to

88
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: really increase your vitamin C, your magnesium, B, vitamins and zinc.

89
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm a girl that's not about the supplements, but I'm

90
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: about eating the food to get the goods, okay. And

91
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: so you're going to get zinc found in pumpkin seeds,

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: in beef, in chickpeas, right, You're going to get magnesium

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: found in spinach and almonds and dark chocolate, you know,

94
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: and vitamin C in all of your oranges, Kiwi strawberries.

95
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: You know you're naturally going to get it and it's

96
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: going to reduce that qurtisol production. And then if you

97
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: stay hydrated, which is really important for the adrenal glands,

98
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: and you can put a pinch of salt in your water,

99
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: you really set in my opinion, there are but other

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: things that you can do to stress out your adrenal glands.

101
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: I'll just mention quickly, not getting enough sleep, all right,

102
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: not limiting blue light exposure one to two hours before bed,

103
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: caffeine excessive caffeines and stimulants not good. But if you

104
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: do the things that balance your blood sugar and I've

105
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: talked about this on this podcast from you know, things

106
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: that naturally boost GLP one production. You eat those balanced

107
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: meals that include protein, healthy fats and fiber in each meal,

108
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and you eat regularly, you're going to really look after

109
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: your adrenal glands anyway. And there's one more thing that

110
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I do that I really love incorporating adaptogens. Okay, so

111
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: adaptogenic herbs can balance out the stress hormones and they're fantastic.

112
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: So ASHWAGANDHA reduces stress and balances cortisol levels really good

113
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: holy basil and licorice root helps maintain quarters levels too,

114
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: and liquorice root is really easy to get in a tea,

115
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: so it's really beautiful. And of course, being a personal trainer,

116
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back and say engaging in physical

117
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: activity it's going to help with the adrenals. So yoga, walking,

118
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: light swimming, you know, any kind of lists, low intensity,

119
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: steady state cardio, it's going to really help with those

120
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: adrenal glands and help them to recover if they're stressed out.

121
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: And of course gut health probotics, prebotics, reducing inflammatory foods

122
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: like processed foods, sugar and transfats, that's really going to help.

123
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: So there's so much you can do to look after

124
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: your adrenal glands without going on a trend drinking a

125
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: high calorie mocktail. And I think trends are just dangerous,

126
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: so you always have to go back to a holistic approach.

127
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: So looking at your nutrition, looking at your movement, looking

128
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: at your sleep, looking at what can you do the

129
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: little one percenters that will just really boost your adrenal

130
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: gland health, and then you've got something that is going

131
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: to be give you so much more longevity than just

132
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: taking a cocktail mocktail once because you saw it on TikTok.

133
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: It's just like the yoga boobs, it's just like the

134
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: ballet bodies. These are trends that come and go, but

135
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: looking after your adrenal glands long term is something that

136
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: you should be doing all the time. Thank you so
