A: For most people anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 years. You generally would not need to take them for life unless you had something else going on, or if you're under a ton of stress. I don't take Adrenal Support on a daily basis, but whenever I have a book deadline, you bet that I'm taking it, or whenever I am traveling to different countries, I'll be taking Saccharomyces Boulardii to help make sure I don't catch some kind of bug. If I am having a stressful time around the holidays, I'm doing more magnesium and Epsom salt baths.
My hope is that you’ll learn the tools and how to take care of yourself during stressful times throughout the process, so you don't get sick and crash again. Stress is the root cause of a lot of health challenges. When I talk to people about how their health issues started, a lot of times they tell me there was a lot of stress involved. Stress can deplete our immune defenses, so we’re more prone to have something like an Epstein-Barr virus reactivation or we're more likely to get a gut infection, especially when we travel. Then we end up with chronic symptoms because our gut is impaired and our stress response becomes apparent eventually. Our liver is no longer able to keep up with detoxing everything that it needs to detox because the gut's not doing its job, and the adrenals aren't really keeping the inflammation in check. Then the liver ends up with the unfair portion of the work to do.
On average, I would say most people take them for about 3-6 months.
