SHANAIS PELKA PART 2: Healing her Adrenal Fatigue. What she did when doctors gave no safe options.

If you haven't listed to PART 1, go back an episode to hear the ramp up of her crazy healing journey.

This is PART 2 of my interview with adaptogen genius Shanais Pelka. She is the research + development manager at my absolute favorite superfood company, Organifi. They are constantly trying to source the best ingredients, superfoods + adaptogens so Shanais is the perfect person to spear head that task with her extensive expertise in healing with adaptogenic nutrition.

Our conversation got so juicy, that I actually had to split it up into two parts because we talked for over two hours. This is part 1. Today you hear all about:

  • Figuring out how to replenish her fatigued adrenals
  • Her work reversing autism with diet + adaptogens
  • How stress affects us + our adrenals long term
  • How AHCC helped her
  • The dangers of Glyphosate + how to avoid it
  • How to be your own health advocate when everything seems dark
  • Dissociative disorder caused by too much cannabis

If you are or have ever struggled with any sort of complex health issue...where you would literally do anything, pay anything, to just figure out and get to the bottom of it, you will identify with Shanais! I can’t wait for you to hear her whole story.

When you listen through and you love it, send it to someone you care about that is struggling with their health and needs some encouragement. or someone that just wants to be entertained by a gripping story.
