Very easy to read with cute cartoons to break up the topic. Adrenal Fatigue is divided into 3 parts: Part 1: Your Adrenal Glands and You; Part 2: Do I have Adrenal Fatigue?; Part 3: Helping Yourself Back to Health
There is a questionnaire in part 2, but it covered EVERYTHING and seemed to me that anyone that had a life would have results that indicated adrenal fatigue. What I found interesting was that adrenal fatigue could also be brought about by sickness (flu, cancer), trauma (ca...more

This was a book recommended to me by a Doctor. After performing some laboratory testing, I came to realize I suffered from this syndrome. It helped me understand my situation and steps I can take to improve my overall health. I really enjoyed the book.
Read Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? A 3-Step Program To Beat Hormone Havoc, Restore Thyroid, Adrenal, and Reproductive Balance, and Feel Better Fast! before you read this book.
Hmmm . . . well, this book needed an editor so badly that it almost could have won an award for the extremity of that need. Too bad, too, because the author is full of enthusiasm and goodwill. There are whole paragraphs that are repeated in slightly different wording three times within a few pages; there a...more

My friend loaned this to me after I told her I'd read Tired of Being Tired and recommended it to her. I thought these two books were the perfect compliment to each other. I personally think it was better to read Tired... first because it's a little less intimidating, but this book was the perfect follow up. It goes into much greater detail about adrenal fatigue and it's many causes and symptoms, and it gives a more exact and detailed recommendation for alleviating the problem if you do have i...more
I read about adrenal fatigue in another book and as they described the syndrome I was baffled because I thought they were describing normal every day life. The idea that it might be possible for me to have a day where I was not tired and cloudy headed definitely peaked my interest. This book answered all my questions and was so easy to understand.
I've always wondered about why some people have so much energy and why I have always had so little with no apparent triggers, but when ...more

Most important book I've read all year. It's helped me heal tremendously. Reading this along with a book about hypoglycemia (see read shelf) has helped me go from unmanageable life and illness to being normal again. Thank God for this book.

I know "case histories" are used to personalize the experience. There were just too many of them. At one point there were 4 or 5 back to back. Some I read, some I skipped. I'm a "get to the point" type of person. :)
Otherwise this book is packed with information and is very easy to read. The medical information is clear and easy to understand. It clearly outlines the symptoms and signs of Adrenal fatigue and the steps necessecary to correct the situation, as well a...more

I found out I had adrenal fatigue 6 weeks ago. I was having all sorts of weird things happening withm y body. This book has been extremely helpful for recoving. There are many ways to help yourself in this book, from getting rid of the "energy drainers" in your life to breathing exercises. One thing the book is lacking is a detailed listing of symptoms. The adrenal glands regulate so many aspects of our bodies, you can't even imagine.

I have two major bones to pick with this book:
1- He says repeatedly that salt is good for you, and potassium is to be avoided. He seems to think that sodium deficiency is an ever-present danger. But salt is toxic. Salt is linked to hypertension, stroke, heart disease, cancer. Dr. Max Gerson put all his patients on salt-free diets and gave them potassium supplements; he said that sodium deficiency was very rare on this regimen. Charlotte Gerson stated, "This K medication is prima...more

This book saved my life. I knew nothing of adrenal fatigue but had been suffering from it for several years. My doctor told me to read it and follow what it said...that I would have to help myself because there is not "quick fix" or "pill" to take and make it all better. It takes a combination of diet, supplements and life style changes but it works!
This book gives excellent information on how to help adrenal fatigue, which my husband has struggled with for many years but wasn't able to figure out how to help the situation very well until finding this book. Dr. Wilson gives quite a bit of information about the condition and what you can do about it. Highly recommended.
This book is about a serious condition affecting millions, but which is generally not recognized by doctors.
Adrenal fatigue is caused by stress of any kind, physical, emotional, psychological, etc. etc. or various combinations of these.
James Wilson explains the syndrome in great detail - the cause, symptoms and treatment. A comprehensive questionnaire that can help you determine whether you yourself suffer from the condition is included.

Who knew this information was going to change my life. I can't believe how this book outlined my life for the past almost five years. I sense a mighty change about to take place in my mental and physical well-being! So grateful!
This book was purchased in an effort to try to figure out just what is wrong with me in addition to MS. In anticipation of an upcoming appt. with an endocrinologist, it was quite instructive. As a result of the book, I sent in a saliva test kit to an OR lab used by naturopaths,and discovered that my adrenal system is most assuredly malfunctioning.
I hope the endocrinologist can assist in rectifying this problem, as I am sick of losing hair and feeling worse than MS normally makes one f...more

some interesting ideas on fatigue and stress. I agree with some earlier reviews that this guy really needed an editor (and a proofreader).
I feel that if 99% of the people in this country were to read this...and take it to heart we would all be better off!
Fabulous information in this book. I got more answers from reading this book in the last two weeks than I have from all the doctors and chiropractors I have seen in the last 16 years!!! Now on to the road to recovery.
Still one of the best books out there on this subject.
Very helpful info. ILL from Fergus Falls.
Very informative!
Parts 1 and 2 of this book were great to learn more about adrenal fatigue and determine if you may have it. Very easy to read and understand.
I enjoyed Part 3 for the information on personal stressors (what's draining you in your life), changing that stress, reframing your thoughts, relaxing your mind, and resting your body - basic info but well written. Also had good info on food & dietary supplements that would be useful to anyone.

This is an excellent book. You need to lay your literary prejudices at the fro t cover and remember that this guy is a doctor, not a writer. =)
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 2007. Addressing my suffering adrenals has been a huge part of how I've gotten well. I highly recommend using this book - along with a good doctor or naturopath - if you suffer from any of the indications of adrenal fatigue.

I've tried some of the recommendations in this book but it didn't work for me. It just seems to be another theory on the health breakdown of todays society. It's worth reading but I recommend seeking the advice of a "qualified" health professional before taking any action, aside from generally accepted health practices, suggested.
I found this book very informative if in fact you think you have adrenal fatigue.. A freind recommend this book after suffering from adrenal fatigue for many years. It also will inform you how stress can really prove to be disaterous for your adrenals and how important they are to womens health.
Excellent resource for people suffering from adrenal fatigue. Good tips on how to eat health and live so that you do not develop the condition. Great section on physiology and explaining how the body works and the effects of stress upon the body.
Book was OK. Nothing special and a bit overwhelming in everything that you "have to" do. It's also a bit dumbed down with not very much scientific info. I will probably not go back to it for reference but it was an OK read.
Very informative. Raises questions and ticks boxes. A book to check out if you're feeling like death warmed up and the doctors have no answers!
Hepful and interesting book for anyone who thinks they may suffer from this disorder or who is just plain exhausted all of the time like me.
interesting stuff, it wore me out just reading it. I didn't read the entire book but did learn some interesting info
