Stress related Adrenal Fatigue is so common that an estimated 80% or more of people in Western developed nations worldwide suffer from it at some time in their lives, yet conventional medicine still does not recognise, adequately diagnose or treat this debilitating syndrome. The result is that millions of people needlessly suffer decreased quality of life for long periods of time. Adrenal Fatigue is a common health disorder that can affect anyone who experiences persistent or severe emotional or physical stress. Our experience through the clinic has shown that symptoms can vary hugely from person to person. Undiagnosed and untreated adrenal stress is often a key contributing factor in a wide range of acute and chronic health issues.

Many of the people who have been helped by Dr. James Wilson’s extensive research over 30 years into stress and adrenal fatigue had previously spent fruitless years and thousands of dollars going from practitioner to practitioner before recognising themselves in this book. More than a few have told us what a relief it was to finally see what they were experiencing in Dr. Wilson’s book, and to know they were not alone or crazy. It gave them a renewed sense of hope that they could be well again.

As a clinic we do a huge amount of work with adrenally fatigued people. We also recognise the link between healthy adrenal function and thyroid function and ensure that both glands are treated correctly where indicated. We use the treatment program clinically tested by Dr. James Wilson in his book on adrenal fatigue, and can tailor the treatment to your individual requirements. We are also able to do saliva cortisol testing for those who are interested.

We encourage you to contact us for an appointment if any of the above rings bells with you. You don’t have to just live with it; better health can be a reality.
