Natural Solutions to Adrenal Fatigue

In 2013, a client came to me sharing that she had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue.  I had worked with clients that had various health challenges but this was a new one. She was already eating clean and working with an Integrative MD so this was going to be a challenge. The only unique factor was her stress level was extremely high as she was experiencing extreme burnout in her career.

No Sodium Taco Seasoning

No Sodium Taco Seasoning

No Sodium Taco Seasoning Finding no sodium taco seasoning in the store is almost impossible. So I decided to start making my own that contains real ingredients only.  Also, you'll know that this seasoning does NOT contain preservatives and unsafe additives, dairy or whey that the store-bought packets often do. This is an ingredient list and nutritional facts of a conventional taco seasoning packet.
