    About this ebook

    Dr. Holly Fourchalk practiced as a Registered Psychologist for 20 years. During that time she questioned the fact that the brain requires nutrients to create neurons, neurotransmitters, transport systems, and to fuel processes. If one’s brain doesn’t have sufficient nutrients, she surmised, then surely that would affect one’s capacity to think, feel and function. Always working with leading edge science, she continued her research of the mind and brain outside of the psychological parameters. When she went on to study Naturopathic Medicine, she found that there were various dysfunctions, disorders and depletions in the body known to cause psychological issues, including depression and anxiety. Transferring from Naturopathic Medicine to Doctor of Natural Medicine, she also finished her Ph.D in Nutrition and a Master’s Degree in Herbal Medicine. She went to India to study Ayurvedic Medicine and followed that with studies in German Homeopathy. She continues to expand her knowledge of ways to help people heal from today’s common ailments that allopathic medicine tends to simply manage. Dr. Holly’s mission is to empower people to reach their full potential in all aspects of health. Her in-depth understanding and training in so many different modalities of healing that address the inter-connections between the mind and body allow her to help people in ways that few others can achieve. She is a passionate health researcher and an engaging teacher. Everybody needs a Dr. Holly.

    This book includes neither an exhaustive nor exclusive list of alternative options for working with adrenal fatigue.

    Rather, it provides an overview of theories, foods, herbs and modalities with which the patient or practitioner may work.

    My company is called Choices Unlimited for Health and Wellness for a reason. There are lots of choices to choose from with regard to maximizing your health. We can only make good, effective choices when we have a working knowledge of what those choices may be.

    If a given modality or protocol resonates for you, research it further. Explore your options within the profile. Your mind is a very powerful tool – make it work for you. Regardless of what you choose to do, make the placebo effect – or the power of the mind – be a part of your healing journey.

    Here’s to your journey into health.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    ONE

    Why do we need to bother with the adrenals?

    Are you one of the suspected 80% of population in the western world that suffers with adrenal issues?

    You may be, yet you may not even suspect that you have a problem. Do you drift through life in a haze, simply accepting that you:

    • Don’t sleep well?

    • Have low periods in the afternoon?

    • Wake up tired?

    • Don’t have a lot of get up and go?

    Are you one of those people who runs on adrenaline? Do you feel:

    • Burnt out?

    • Stressed out?

    • Worn out?

    • Tired?

    • Frustrated?

    But you keep going anyway?

    Do you keep going because?

    • You need the finances?

    • You are a single parent with children to support?

    • You are developing a new career and putting everything you have into it?

    • You are afraid of losing your job?

    There are all kinds of reasons people keep pushing themselves and keep going beyond what is healthy. But what is going on in their bodies? And how long can they continue before they crash?

    The adrenals are meant to kick in primarily in a flight or fight situation. They are designed to put out the necessary hormones in a big way for a short period of time but to recover they require significant downtown time – days, or even weeks.

    In Western society, we have learned to rely on our adrenal glands to keep going. We don’t take the time we need to relax and recover. The two
