Title: My New Favorite Book!
Review: I’ve just started this book and I can’t seem to put it down. Amazing. Hmm What’s amazing? 1. The wisdom. His attention to detail. So thorough. Approaches AF from all angles, from lifestyle, to supplements, to hormones. And explains why (the connection of these areas to AF) so well that I find myself learning new things and very motivated & inspired to implement the recommended changes or treatments. 2. The degree of empathy. I really get the impression that Dr. Wilson gets the depth of the impact of this condition. And 3. His care! I swear it’s like I can feel his care through his writing for those of us suffering through this. He is so encouraging and holds a vision for a light at the end of this tunnel.I have suffered a LOT. And I only understood a glimpse of the adrenal connection. Since I began caring for my adrenals (a month ago) and joined an online support group, already I’m noticing big improvements and I’m excited because I’ve only just begun.I’m about to implement a lot more based on what I’m learning from Dr. Wilson. I can hardly believe what’s possible but I know it is… going from being on “death’s door” as I call it to be being more alive and energized than I’ve ever been. I’ve already been cycling 4x in the past 2 weeks! (My partner has been trying to get me going with him for 7 YEARS, but I’ve not had the energy for life, let alone something requiring real energy reserves like cycling)I don’t write reviews all that much, but I have so much gratitude for you, Dr Wilson, that you dedicated the time and energy to write this book. The least I can do is take the time to write a review to share the impact.This piece of work is an incredible gift to me and I imagine countless others, particularly being that this condition as you’ve named is so under-recognized, including in the medical community! I too went to my doctor and told her that I was so exhausted all the time, like I can barely scoop myself off the floor exhausted. Her response? To offer me an anti-depressant. No thank you.But thank YOU, Dr. Wilson. THIS can help men and women find empowerment and hope out of this maze.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Title: A good guide with solid information and answers for those seeking information
Review: Dr. Wilson's book is one of the most recommended on the subject of adrenal fatigue. And this book is as complete and thorough as they come. The "how do adrenals work" section is at the end, because like most people who pick up this book, I wanted to know "how to I fix it?". His case studies sound familiar, so much so that I knew exactly what his patients were enduring.The book is a good balance of things that can help, and a serious "not a quick fix" approach. While Dr. Wilson does have his own supplements, he suggests them once or twice. This book is not the sales pitch that others on the subject I've looked at have been.I'd like to see more than the usual "avoid stress", "eat well", "exercise" advice to go along with the supplements. For those of us taking care of ill family members, dealing with our own chronic illness, and working at a less than optimal and caring job, there's only so much stress that can be eliminated. So the reader may also come away with a sense that they cannot be "cured" because their life simply comes with a lot of strings attached. But the reader--and I--also know that changes need to be made. And the tips on mitigating stress are useful reminders.The book ends rather abruptly and goes to the bibliography and indexes. There's a large list of foods and their associated glycemic index. The author/editor/publisher in me would have liked to see more polish, but you can't say that the book doesn't deliver solid, factual information. It does.I've started some new supplements based on the book and look forward to seeing what happens. If you feel that you may have adrenal fatigue, or simply want to know more, I recommend this book enthusiastically.

Review: Descrizione accurata di tutti i sintomi, delle cause, e dei modi per affrontare l’affaticamento surrenale. Soprattutto identifica in maniera inequivocabile l’esistenza di questa condizione spesso confusa con la depressione o altrimenti totalmente disconosciuta dalla classe medica. Se avete un qualche pattern di fatica surrenale potrete facilmente riconoscervi e finalmente spiegarvi il vostro stato fisico, emotivo, e mentale. Inoltre avrete una guida preziosa per mettere in pratica nuove abitudini alimentari, del riposo, nelle relazioni umane, che aiuteranno a uscire dalla palude dell’”adrenal fatigue”.Anche i consigli sul l’integrazione di elementi essenziali per la salute surrenale sono molto preziosi.Comunque un insieme di informazioni necessarie e con un linguaggio estremamente chiaro, con il tipico approccio anglosassone molto pragmatico alla realtà, pieno di esemplificazioni e aneddoti ispirati a casi di vite personali.

Review: Following the protocol in this book has been a significant step in my healing journey. Being a relative newcomer to the world of natural medicine, after endless, expensive and frustratingly unhelpful visits to a long line of different conventional doctors and so-called specialists that nearly sent me broke, I didn't have any clues as to where to start in self-healing adrenal 'fatigue'. But thanks to the very specific guidelines on what nutritional supplements to look for (not worrying about brands but about what's in them), and why, I'm well on my way to getting well, and perhaps even better than I was before I 'crashed'. I was able to source for myself the most budget friendly versions of everything (albeit cumbersome). Its been 14 months following his protocol, and the change in my energy levels has been immense. I can even tolerate the natural thyroid meds that I needed but couldn't tolerate before (crashing on them finally woke me up to having adrenal fatigue - I couldn't afford a saliva panel done).So now, after going gluten/dairy/soy free, low carb/sugar/processed foods, taking milk thistle for liver support, low dose natural thyroid medication (1 grain), keeping my B12, iron and Vit D levels in check, and following Dr Wilson's adrenal support protocol (for 14 months now), I can feel I'm finally on the home stretch. He spoke of people needing between 6 months to 2 years to fully recover, but only 3 weeks to begin to feel an improvement. He was right. I've also put myself into counselling therapy to deal with past trauma that I didn't realise was still impacting me and my health, and just recently, have had the energy and motivation to start stretching my body to relieve the tightness and pain from being sedentary for so long, and slowly getting out to do more to exercise, walking, playing outdoors with my 4 year old son. The last obstacle that I seem to need to address now, I think, is low stomach acid. What I thought was drowsiness after meals due to really poor carbohydrate tolerance, I've finally been able to pin down to poor digestion of protein and fats.I only write a little of my journey over the past 2.5 years only to highlight just how complex and multi-faceted our health problems, and consequent healing journeys, can be. And if it wasn't for books like this one, sharing clear practical knowledge with common people like me, I'd have been screwed. Recovering from hypo-adrenia has been but one piece of the puzzle, but a significant and very necessary one in saving me from hospitalisation and/or an early grave.
