What is Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is a condition where your adrenal glands become "tired". This can be due to chronic stress or a host of other illnesses. Your adrenals control many critical hormones in the body. All body parts are affected if the adrenals are not performing optimally. Illness associated with this includes chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ovarian-adrenal-thyroid imbalance syndrome, estrogen dominance, and hypothyroidism.

Thanks for coaching me with my adrenal fatigue problem. After two Naturopathic Doctors who seemed to have made my condition worse, you were there to save me from further health deterioration. Just after 2-3 weeks under your watch, I can feel that I am slowly getting better everyday. Thanks for being there to clean up other doctors' messes.
