Revolution in my health began when I discovered that my workouts weren't serving me. The frequency, the high intensity, the time of day (evening), and the types of workouts in general, were further elevating stress hormones in my body. As much as I was enjoying the exercise I was doing, the consistent stress of the workoutsfatigued my adrenals and messed with my sex hormones. 

For me, running has always been one of my biggest forms of stress relief. 
All I needed was some alone time on a pretty trail with an amazing playlist and I'd feel refreshed and grounded.  That was, until the day my long run came to a screeching halt when I found out exactly how much extra stress I was putting on my body and the hormonal havoc I was experiencing because of it.
