Energizing elixirs can be can be made from a variety of fresh whole foods, essential oils, and herbs. Included here are instructions for making healing elixirs that nourish and balance your hormones and provide instant and sustained energy, without the caffeine buzz and hangover. You can use the base recipe and customize to your own liking or make my Endless Energy Elixir exactly as the recipe says the first time. After you have tried it as the recipe says, you can modify it based on what you have around and your particular taste preferences. The elixirs are just one of the tools I teach as part of my complete Adrenal Recharge Blueprint, as taught in my Correcting Adrenal Fatigue and Exhaustion (CAFE) Program. Page 2 of 6
