Description
Do you wake up every morning feeling tired, overwhelmed, and stressed? Are you constantly reaching for coffee, soda or some other promise of energy just to keep yourself going? Do you struggle through the day - sluggish, irritable, forgetful, depressed and craving sweets - only to have trouble sleeping at night? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you're not alone. In fact, hundreds of thousands of women are fighting these same feelings as they strive to live the lives they want. Is It Me or My Adrenals? - formerly titled Are You Tired and Wired? - gives you the knowledge and tools to overcome this epidemic of fatigue. In it, Marcelle Pick uncovers the root cause of these symptoms: adrenal dysfunction. In our modern lives, the adrenal glands, which provide the fight-or-flight hormones in response to stress, are triggered much more often that they should be. Everything from challenges at home and at work, to environmental toxins, to chronic health problems cause the adrenal glands to produce 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 you identify which of the three adrenal profiles you fit - Racehorse, Workhorse, or Flatliner - and then lays out an easy-to-follow, scientifically based program to help you restore adrenal balance, regear your metabolism, and regain your natural energy to live a happier and less-stressed life.

Reviews
"So many of us are addicted to a fast-paced, hectic life supported by coffee, sugar, and adrenaline. Unfortunately this is a prescription for burnout and disease, but thankfully, in Is It Me or My Adrenals?, Marcelle Pick explains why our sleep-deprived, over- caffeinated, stress-driven habits are depleting us and provides a practical, step-by-step plan for finding our pause buttons and restoring our health and vitality. If you are exhausted, drained, and heading toward burnout, read this book, and save yourself."
- Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The UltraMind Solution and UltraMetabolism
"Marcelle Pick has written a book that is relevant, personal, and provides practical solutions to recognizing and understanding adrenal fatigue. Her descriptions will resonate with those who are wired and tired. It's a great validation to understand what's happening to you. This book blends the best of the scientific and clinical to provide a personal guide with specific action steps to help you find the road to recovery."
- Liz Lipski, Ph.D., CCN, author of Digestive Wellness and Digestive Wellness for Children, Director of Doctoral Studies, Hawthorn University
"Marcelle Pick continues to be at the leading edge of women's health care by listening to her patients and responding to their pain. Is It Me or My Adrenals? is exactly what the many women suffering from undiagnosed adrenal fatigue need. I'll be recommending it to my patients."
- Frank Lipman, M.D., author of Spent and Total Renewal
"Marcelle Pick is a compassionate and insightful clinician who has taken her understanding of healing to a new level. Her synthesis of the functional medicine/systems- biology approach gives practical hands-on tools for patients to apply in their lives. I have worked with these tools in practice and find them to be invaluable in the nearly 40 percent of patients I see, across all medical conditions, who are tired and wired."
- Patrick J. Hanaway, M.D., President, American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine
"From working with thousands of patients, Marcelle understands the crucial linkage between stress and illness and she also knows what to do about it. She gives each of us the power to heal ourselves. While based on impeccable research and science, her recommendations are surprisingly easy to follow. Marcelle is a healer and through her work you'll discover that you are too."
- Raz Ingrasci, President and CEO, Hoffman Institute Foundation
"Marcelle's new book is amazing. She has taken complicated hormonal processes and made them simple for everyone to understand. I love her list of 'adrenal-friendly activities.' They are quick, easy, and portable. The many case studies illustrate that adrenal stress and fatigue comes in a broad number of varieties. Most women will see themselves-and be inspired to take action to restore their adrenals . . . and their life. Thank you for this much-needed book."
