Happy New Year!
As the holiday season winds down, many of us experience a mix of joy, exhaustion, and stress. This month, we’re focusing on restoring adrenal health and exploring the surprising benefits of a post-holiday parasite cleanse.
Recharging Your Adrenal Health
Your adrenal glands, small but mighty organs atop your kidneys, help manage stress by producing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Prolonged stress—even the joyful kind—can lead to adrenal fatigue. Symptoms include:
- Low energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor sleep
- Cravings for salty or sweet foods
- Feeling “wired but tired”
Here’s how to support adrenal recovery:
- Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Create a relaxing, screen-free bedtime routine to help your body unwind.
- Balance Blood Sugar: Include protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs in your meals to stabilize energy and reduce stress.
- Hydration & Mineral Support: Replenish electrolytes with coconut water, herbal teas, or a pinch of sea salt in your water.
- Herbal Allies: Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and holy basil can help balance stress hormones. Consider incorporating CHF#24 Adrenal into your routine.
- Mindful Movement: Opt for gentle exercises like yoga, walking, or tai chi to reduce stress without overwhelming your body.
The Benefits of a Post-Holiday Parasite Cleanse
While not always top of mind, a parasite cleanse can reset gut health and enhance overall vitality. Holiday indulgences may leave your system vulnerable to unwanted guests that thrive in your gut.
Symptoms of parasitic overgrowth include:
- Digestive issues: bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements
- Persistent fatigue
- Skin irritations or rashes
- Food sensitivities
A carefully guided parasite cleanse can improve nutrient absorption, boost immunity, and restore digestive balance.
Steps for a Gentle Parasite Cleanse:
- Herbal Supplements: Start with CHF#41 Parasit. Take two capsules morning and evening for 30 days.
- Anti-Parasitic Foods: Incorporate raw garlic, pumpkin seeds, papaya seeds, and oregano into your meals.
- Hydrate & Detoxify: Stay hydrated and support detox pathways with lemon water, dandelion tea, or milk thistle.
- Probiotic Support: Rebuild your gut microbiome with high-quality probiotics after completing your cleanse.
We’re here to help you start the new year with vitality and balance. Whether it’s adrenal health or a parasite cleanse, we can create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

What’s Up Doc? Understanding Parasites
Q: What damage do parasites cause, and how can I tell if I have them?
Parasites are microscopic organisms that feed on hosts, sometimes causing significant health issues. They can enter the body through food, environmental surfaces, and insect bites.
Common Symptoms of Parasites:
