It can take years for your adrenal glands to fail to meet the demands of your daily life, ultimately resulting in adrenal fatigue. Symptoms include insomnia, fatigue, depression, irritability. Digestive difficulties are also common. When substances normally confined to your digestive tract "leak", escaping your intestines and entering your bloodstream your immune system attacks them.

Stress is one of the leading causes of Adrenal Fatigue. Adrenal fatigue is the common name for a set of symptoms that result from the adrenal glands being worked to exhaustion. Stress can come in a variety of forms, but your body's adrenal response is the same. It can take years for your adrenal glands to fail to meet the stress and demands of your daily life, ultimately resulting in adrenal fatigue.
An autoimmune disease is a condition where the body's immune system attacks healthy cells. Autoimmune diseases can affect multiple organs, called "systemic", or just one organ, referred to as "localized." There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders - some of the most common types include rheumatoid arthritis, Celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, and Hashimoto's.
Diabetes is the condition when the body either doesn't make enough insulin, or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. When you eat food, your body takes that food and turns it into sugar (or glucose). In order to make this happen, the pancreas releases insulin. This insulin opens up cells in the body, and helps the cells absorb the glucose.
Your body is a complex network of organs and glands that communicate with one another using hormones. When the body has a hormone imbalance, it can set off a chain reaction of health issues. Your hormones are intended to influence specific functions such as digestion, metabolism, appetite, sleep, activation of the immune system, reproduction, and tissue repair.
Because these harmful substances aren't normally in your blood, your immune system recognizes them as foreign invaders and begins to attack them by releasing antibodies. Your immune system literally attacks your own body as if it is an enemy. This continued release of antibodies causes inflammation (swelling), which accumulates over time, causing the digestive system to not work properly and leads to an array of unpleasant symptoms.

After just 3 days following my health plan that was created by Heather Yost, my joint pain in my fingers was gone! GONE! I was so excited that I continued to follow the eating plan completely. I was losing about3 pounds a week then I took a fall and broke my ankle and foot. I required surgery and was laid up for 7 weeks. Thankfully my son’s both cooked meals and kept me on plan. I believe I was healing faster with the Ultra InflamX shakes. It took the inflammation down. Even while I was chair bound for 7 weeks I continued to lose 24 pounds. I am few so much better. My migraines went away. Joint

I started seeing Dr. Yost in July of 2021. I was tired, overweight, having dizzy spells, and feeling completely wrong. I had my thyroid checked multiple times of modern medicine doctors. They all told me I was fine and to watch what I ate. Upon meeting Dr. Yost I felt encouraged and like I was heard. She cared about me and my family. I felt very confidant that she would get to the bottom of my issues and I could begin to heal. After receiving my results from blood work it was confirmed that I had a couple autoimmune issues as well an insulin issue. None of theses things were caught by my original

I was told about the Yost Wellness center from a friend. He thought that it would really help fix a lot of my health issues. When I met with them, I had high blood pressure (seven different pills), I am a type two diabetic, I have colitis, I am way over weight (254), have no energy and have a pain rating of a five to seven most days. Talk about having problems. After 70 days, I have lost 42 pounds and at the moment I'm no longer taking any blood pressure medication. My blood sugars are down over 25 points which is half way to average. It was at 147 fasting. I haven't had an A1C1 done yet to see

Approximately one year ago I had hit an all-time low in how I felt. I was tired, anxious, depressed, moody and experienced fatigued every minute of the day. Basically, life had become something I could only watch pass by as I had no energy to participate in it. Trying to meet the needs of my four children and attend all their activities was overwhelming because I felt so horrible. I had sought help from my regular medical provider but was told my blood work was fine and that it was just a normal part of menopause, etc. I was so discouraged. I ran across a Yost ad on Facebook and started reading

I'm on Day 70 of 90 and I have improved so much already! No headaches, much less fatique and brain fog - I've even lost some weight! I came to YWC with Hashimoto's as well as a number of health issues related to thyroid illness, in addition to a family history of illnesses that I wanted to avoid. Their program is absolutely worth it - they guide you and give you all of the tools that you need; you just need to put in the work and your life will improve!! Thank you, YWC!

The Team at Yost Wellness changed the course of my health. I walked in with Hypothyroid, Hashimotos, Pre diabetic, Insulin resistance, and a bunch of other issues. I had arthritis, swelling, and could not lose weight no matter what I did. In 4 months of following their guidance, I dropped 27 lbs., no more arthritis, no swelling, and all of the thyroid, and blood sugar issues are gone! They teach you how to eat right, and make it doable. I have recommended them to everyone I know!

I’ve been on the Yost Wellness program for 5 weeks and I’m feeling so much better already! I’m sleeping better, I have more energy, my digestion system is finally working properly AND I’ve lost 9 pounds! I’m excited to see the progress in next 3 months if I’m already experiencing these great results. Huge thank you to my amazing Dr Alicia and the whole staff at Yost!!

The doctors and staff at Yost Wellness Center provide the best caring service! I started my initial consultation in November 2020. Through a series of events, I didn't actually start on my wellness journey until March 2021. They have been kind, considerate, encouraging, and they listen. I didn't realize how bad of shape my body was in. Now that I am eating correctly, and more importantly, journaling it, I can pinpoint various reactions. Highly recommended!!
