Organ System
Sitting atop your kidneys, the adrenals produce cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone, and DHEA. They orchestrate your stress response, blood pressure, and inflammation.

Preparation: Juice with leaves and skin on. Consume within 20 minutes of pressing.
An adaptogen that modulates cortisol, supports thyroid hormone conversion, and improves stress resilience. Withanolides act on the HPA axis.

A mineral-rich morning press that gently supports kidney filtration. Cucumber and celery juiced with skins on. Parsley adds chlorophyll and a mild diuretic effect.
