Adrenal stress tests can be very helpful in identifying where you are in the cycle of stress hormones and how best to support you.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tRegulating blood sugar balance\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Blood sugar highs &amp; lows can leave you feeling tired, anxious\u00a0 and unmotivated. Stress hormones can accentuate this rollercoaster. Dietary strategies to balance both blood sugar &amp; stress hormone are often needed.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tNurturing the gut microbiome\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Gut bacteria influence serotonin production, support gut health and so facilitate the absorption of brain and nervous system nutrients from your diet.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tHolistic lifestyle advice\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Lifestyle advice is an important part of a holistic strategy, and we would together work out how find realistic and practical ways to support your sleep and stress level reduction.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/yvonnenutrition\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBOOK AN APPOINTMENT\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yvonnebishopweston.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/healthy-food-basket.png\" alt=\"healthy food basket\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"300\" title=\"healthy food basket\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tBooking an appointment with our nutritionist\u00a0is as easy as 1, 2, 3&#8230;\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yvonnebishopweston.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Booking-button_1.png\" alt=\"Booking button_1\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"300\" title=\"Booking button_1\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Schedule a convenient time\u00a0using the link below.
