Adrenal Fatigue is Real and it Should be an Accepted Diagnosis

In today’s broadcast we will discuss why Adrenal Fatigue is a real entity affecting millions of Americans, and why this gland has been neglected by our current health care system to date.  We will discuss the most up to date information regarding the adrenals, and how they are intimately involved with depression, anxiety, PTSD, burnout, emotional exhaustion, and those who have perfectionism.  Please enjoy.
