We can start by identifying adrenal fatigue as what it really is: stress. This stress is an overload on our adrenals and the impact is a spirally decline of our health. It’s time to stop adrenal fatigue in its tracks so we can regain control of our health and wellbeing. 

When it comes to health, fear is everywhere!
