Episode #32: How to Get More Support From Loved Ones

In this episode, we sit down with Gina Gymer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has experience and brilliance in helping families feel more connected. This is a subject that comes up time and time again in our adrenal community where many are still struggling to get clarity as to what is happening in their bodies and are often not taken as seriously as they would hope by our friends and loved ones. When we don’t feel supported by our partner or members of our closest circle, it can make recovery all the more challenging and so today Gina walks us through practical tips we can utilize to connect and be heard by those closest to us.

How to Get More Support (Physical, Mental, Emotional) From Loved Ones When You Struggle With Chronic Fatigue

with Gina Gymer


In this episode, Angela has a fascinating chat with her sister, Gina Rocchio Gymer. As a therapist, Gina has brilliance with conversation and helping women and families feel connected. We know this convo will be extremely helpful because this journey can be very isolating, you can feel alone and you can lose connection with people along the way. 

The struggle is very real and we know many of you have experienced this first hand. Many of you are dealing with symptoms that are somewhat vast and mysterious and often to the point of debilitating but at the same time, you might not have any answers from doctors or a diagnosis. On the other hand, perhaps you resonate with the symptoms of adrenal fatigue, but because the term “adrenal fatigue” is not medically recognized, your partners, friends or loved ones scrutinize your condition making you feel like you’re crazy or just a “hypochondriac”.

Being told “it's all in their head” can take a toll on many levels and this makes it harder to get support and compassion from your partners, loved ones, family, friends. This makes the healing journey even harder, more lonely and more isolating. 

We are excited to dive into this topic that comes up over and over again in our Facebook Community with Gina today and to have her guide us through some ideas for how to talk with our loved ones in a way they can hear it. I am certain you will walk away from this convo with insights and tools to have better conversations so you feel more supported on this journey. 

More About Gina Gymer

Gina is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received her Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver and a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia.  In addition to her private practice, Gina has provided mental health services to youth and adults in hospitals, schools, residential treatment centers, and public health settings.

She provides a compassionate and caring environment that helps foster personal growth and insight.  Gina’s approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. Gina utilizes Brainspotting and other somatic modalities to treat issues like trauma, anxiety, and life-transitions. Gina feels passionate about working with caregivers whether that is moms, teachers, health care workers, or empaths. She has specialized training in treating Perinatal Mood Disorders and has over 12 years working with moms and the life-changing transition to motherhood and beyond.

with Dr. Carrie Lam


We are excited to have Dr. Carrie Lam on the show today to talk about how stress impacts the physical body, bringing together connections and circuits we don’t always think of when it comes to rebalancing and re-establishing our best health.

Adrenal fatigue is deeply connected to physical and emotional stress and often the Neuro-Endocrine response can become almost subconscious when we become used to living with stress chronically-- or when we are not managing day-to-day stressors well.

Having more awareness around this important connection between our body and brain can be so important for your recovery and we are thrilled to have Dr. Carrie Lam here with us in this episode to discuss this in more detail in terms of the NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) stress response.

In this episode, our Co-founder of The Adrenal Recovery Collective and certified holistic nutritionist, Danielle Zies, helps to clear the air around some really common adrenal recovery dietary tips.

Breaking Adrenal Recovery Food Myths

with Holistic Nutritionist, Danielle Zies


With the influx of info on the internet, it can be so easy to get overwhelmed by how to approach food when you’re burnt out and struggling with your hormones. 

So much information, so many totally opposing points of view can make it hard enough for the average person to figure out how to eat-- add exhaustion, stress, and inability to make decisions to the mix (a common symptom of adrenal fatigue) and it becomes all the more difficult.  It’s enough to make people incredibly anxious when it comes to making food decisions and it can stop us from making any decisions or dietary changes period, which can keep us stuck in a variety of ways.

In this episode, our Co-founder of The Adrenal Recovery Collective and certified holistic nutritionist, Danielle Zies, helps to clear the air around some really common adrenal recovery dietary tips.

We discussed:

  • When it comes to eating for burnout, what should someone’s top focus be?

  • Is there any “diet” that you recommend specifically for adrenal fatigue that tends to do better than others? 

    • What about keto? 

    • What about cleanses and fasting? 

    • Elimination style diets-- when do they fit in?

  • How important is it to take out foods like gluten and dairy and is it important for everyone?

  • What dietary tips Danielle used when overcoming stage 3 adrenal fatigue.

Episode #22: What If It's Not Depression? Addressing Root Causes with Dr. Achina Stein

It was an honor to interview Dr. Achina Stein on The Adrenal Fatigue Podcast.

We have hundreds of people that come to us every week that have been told by their doctors that there is nothing wrong with them, that their blood work looks “fine”. They’re often left feeling like It's all in their head and then they are prescribed or encouraged to take antidepressants as a solution. A lot of the time when people reach out to us, they know in their gut that this approach doesn't feel like the right solution for them and they’re searching for the missing piece. In today’s episode, we dig into that missing piece with Dr. Achina Stein. There is so much wisdom in this episode, you don’t want to miss this one!

What If It's Not Depression?

Addressing Root Causes with Dr. Achina Stein

A lot of the time when people reach out to us, they know in their gut that this approach doesn't feel like the right solution for them and they’re searching for the missing piece.

Here at The Adrenal Recovery Collective, we believe that there is way more to the story that’s not being investigated, that is leaving so many miserable, scared and feeling like there’s no other option than synthetic drugs and antidepressants. Dr. Achina has so much wisdom on this topic and we know this conversation is one that will inspire and offer a lot of hope for many of our listeners!

We discussed:

  • The impact of addressing root the root cause and how to get support in doing so

  • Dr. Achina's transition from mainstream psychiatrics to functional medicine

  • Emotional trauma and how it can deeply affect our mental and physical wellness

  • What to do if you keep hearing "your blood work is fine" from your doctor

  • and so much more!

We really hope you enjoy!

This week we had a lovely chat with Dr. Effy Germanis, Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist about the thyroid connection to adrenal issues.

Many people come to us with questions about if their thyroid issues are affecting their adrenals or if their adrenal issues could be influencing their thyroid.

We discuss where to start when it comes to testing and root level things to consider that help both on a foundational level!

We discussed:

  • The thyroid in general, what is it and what it does. What happens when it’s imbalanced.

  • What is the adrenal/thyroid connection and why do we need to know about it

  • Hyper vs Hypo-thyroid, a quick overview

  • What is Hashimotos- what’s the difference between regular thyroid issues

    1. How is it diagnosed

    2. What are the symptoms

    3. What causes it? Do we know? 

  • Trauma and gut issues as root causes that we overlook

  • When it comes to getting thyroid clarity -- why do things look okay on blood work but often not tell the whole story, what testing do we need to do to get a clear understanding of what’s actually going on? How do we go about getting this?

Let us know what you think and we hope you enjoy this convo as much as we did having it!
