Are you in stress overload?

Do you have toxic relationships?
Do you now that your mind has a direct effect on your body?

Psychology of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome: How the Mind-Body Connection Affects Your Recovery will show you:

• The symptoms of mind-body dysfunction are similar to many symptoms of AFS;

• Why simplifying your lifestyle will expedite your recovery;

• How balance and equilibrium are critical in returning to a level that matches 
your body’s capacity to handle stress and complex tasks;

• Why a new approach to daily living is needed and

• How and why a positive relationship will enhance your recovery.


Fatigue becomes part of your everyday life—your vitality is gone. Your body is in stress-overload—whether from work, environment, relationships,
or even lack of sleep. Your energy is lost and you become non-functional. Your adrenals are fatigued. 


Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome is much more than simply fatigue in advance stages. The whole body is dysregulated, involving the entire neuroendocrine system that has become overworked and burdened. 


At its core, Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome is a mind-body condition, particularly when in advanced stages. 


Knowing how the mind is connected to and affects the body physiologically is of great importance in any recovery program. Psychology of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome: How the Mind-Body Connection Affects Your Recovery presents to you the neuroendocrine basis of AFS, how the mind and the body is connected physiologically, and what you can do at the mind level to help you recover physically. 


Dr. Michael Lam and Dorine Lam are the authors of numerous best-selling publications, including Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome.
