Welcome back to THE PICKLE JAR.

This episode is from my early days of advocating and sharing my story of living with Addison's Disease.  This was originally posted on my YouTube Channel and I share my journey with using hydrocortisone tablets to treat and manage my Addison's Disease.  I no longer use hydrocortisone tablets (only for up dosing) but use an infusion pump with solu-cortef for a continuous supply of my life-sustaining medication.

WOW what an eye-opener for me.  My list of symptoms I experience with low cortisol kept getting LONGER AND LONGER.

Cortisol influences every cell in our body and it is evident in the symptoms people with Addison's Disease experience.

If you are newly dx, have family, friends or a co-worker with Adrenal Insufficiency this is an important episode to listen to.

Jill shares her knowledge about adrenal crisis and how important it is to recognize the symptoms and to ACT quickly.  

This is the most important episode to review and share on social media.  Give the people in your life the opportunity to recognize an adrenal crisis.  It may save your life.  

And if you know someone with adrenal insufficiency in a crisis situation they will likely be unable to advocate for themselves.  Please watch and share so you can advocate for them.

In this episode, Jill shares a bit more about her journey and gives some practical advice on how to start improving your nutrition to better manage your illness and improve your quality of life.  Her knowledge from her education in APPLIED HUMAN NUTRITION, 18 years in the fitness industry and most importantly REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE. 

Progress, not perfection.
