Tired And Wired: How To Heal Adrenal Fatigue with Dr. Izabella Wentz

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy Earth,
ButcherBox, and InsideTracker. When we experience stress–or any
threat to our well-being–our brain goes on high alert, activating
an ancient system designed to protect us from a wide variety of
threats and dangers. Unfortunately, modern life is keeping most of
us in a state of chronic stress activation. This puts our bodies in
an ongoing state of survival mode and sets the stage for burnout,
fatigue, and adrenal dysfunction. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I
talk with Izabella Wentz all about adrenal dysfunction, how it
develops, its common signs and symptoms, and how to support your
adrenal function to reverse burnout.   Izabella Wentz is
an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed
pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root
causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books
on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for
Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology,
and Hashimoto’s Protocol, which became a number one New York Times
bestseller. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy
