Glow and let go: FULL DISCLOSURE:
I have Addison’s disease. Stress isn’t just a burden—it can literally kill me. Addison’s disease is a rare autoimmune condition where my adrenal glands don’t produce enough cortisol and aldosterone—hormones crucial for regulating metabolism, blood pressure, and the body's response to stress. Without sufficient cortisol, my body struggles to manage stress, maintain energy levels, and balance electrolytes. Symptoms often include chronic fatigue, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, and in extreme cases, adrenal crises that can be life-threatening.
Over the years, I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) that nervous system regulation isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. The rituals I’m about to share are more than self-care. They are my non-negotiables—practices that keep me calm, centered, and yes, glowing from the inside out.
