Synopsis

There is an epidemic of fatigue running rampant in our society. Every morning, hundreds of thousands of women wake up to find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstressed. Groggily turning off the alarm, they reach for coffee, soda, or some other promise of energy. They suffer through the day-irritable, on edge, forgetful, depressed, and craving sweets. And then, at night, they have trouble sleeping. Diet and exercise don’t seem to change things-if they even have the energy to follow these programs. So what on earth is going on?In Are You Tired and Wired?, Marcelle Pick, co-founder of Women to Women-one of the first clinics in the country devoted to providing health care for women by women-and the author of The Core Balance Diet, focuses on the root cause of these symptoms: adrenal dysfunction. With all the stresses that exist today-from challenges at home and at work to environmental toxins to chronic health problems-the adrenal glands, which are responsible for providing the fight-or-flight hormones, can force the body to endure a constant flood of stress hormones that can ultimately lead to multiple health issues, especially severe fatigue. The good news is that through diet, lifestyle adjustments, and reprogramming of stressful emotional patterns this can all be fixed! Pick helps listeners identify which of three adrenal dysfunction profiles they fit-racehorse, workhorse, or flatliner-and then lays out an easy-to-follow, scientifically based program to help them restore adrenal balance, re-gear their metabolism, and regain their natural energy to live a happier and less-stressed life.

Goodreads review by Jamie on June 05, 2011

Many things in this book backed up what I had heard from therapist, as well as things I'd self diagnosed. I can tell you that I took SOME of the advice (taking astralagus and a multivitamin) and while I'm still sleeping constantly, I AM in a great mental state. It explained why I feel better after h......more

Practical advice for overcoming adrenal fatigue - eat healthy foods, cut dairy and gluten, get plenty of sleep, and reduce stress. I've gone to a variety of doctors and no one can find anything wrong with me. That is definitely good news but something IS wrong..........I'm beyond exhausted, my brain......more

I wanted to love this book. I read it and thought it had great ideas. Then I realized it's been a month since I read it and I haven't gone back to it once. Sorry book! You get 3 stars for initially grabbing my attention, even though you couldn't keep it.......more
