Stellar Health and Wellness is excited to welcome Dr. Marlena Kurtz! Dr. Kurtz found her passion for naturopathic medicine at a young age thanks to her mother. Dr. Kurtz’s mom practiced Applied Kinesiology, also known as muscle strength testing. Applied Kinesiology is a technique that uses muscle testing and organ reflex points to gather information. A weakened muscle response correlated with pressure over an organ reflex point, identifies stress in that organ which can signal distant internal problems such as nerve damage, reduced blood supply, chemical imbalances or other organ or gland problems. Dr. Marlena Kurts has a special interest in flower essences and homeopathic remedies. Flower essence and other homeopathic remedies are especially helpful with emotional stress. Emotional stress can affect your organs and require an emotional release in order to balance the body. Please help us welcome Dr. Marlena Kurtz to Stellar and learn about the 3 phases of Adrenal Fatigue below.

The 3 Phases of Adrenal Fatigue

1. Alarm Phase: Your body creates more cortisol to help get through stressful situations.

2. Resistance Phase: Your body has so much cortisol in its system that the body stops responding to the cortisol, this can result in weight gain.

3. Exhaustion Phase: Your adrenals are tanked and no longer making cortisol, which is necessary for your body to fight inflammation.

Dr. Marlena Kurtz will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Stellar Health and Wellness.
