Overcoming adrenal fatigue - Kathryn R. Simpson

Although most of us realize that stress is a problem, almost none of us understand the critical role our adrenal glands play in controlling the impact that stress has on our bodies and minds.

Overcoming Adrenal Fatigue is a step-by-step plan which empowers readers with a guide for restoring optimal adrenal function, alone or with a health care practitioner. Readers learn how to assess their symptoms and create a personalized plan by testing adrenal function and detecting problems, treating adrenal hormone deficiencies, stopping excess adrenal hormone production, and learning about the foods and nutritional supplements that can help restore adrenal balance. The guidelines, questionnaires, and inexpensive at-home tests in this user-friendly guide make it easy for readers to assess and treat their own adrenal issues, and the book also provides help for getting and understanding laboratory blood tests.
