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.
