The Art of Moving Through Stress How "Adrenalogic" can change your life forever Dr. Lena Edwards, MD, FAARM In todays society, most of us move at a rapid pace and have taken on more responsibility than ever before. This, in turn, has triggered a surge in stress and stress-related diseases. If you are among the millions who deal with the consequences of chronic stress, including exhaustion, chronic fatigue, weight gain and depression, Dr. Lena Edwards can help. Giving stress the credibility and the attention it deserves, Dr. Edwards explains the link between hormones, stress levels and the development of disease - a health connection that has been recognized for decades but remains poorly understood. A highly respected internist who is also Board Certified and Fellowship Trained in Functional and Regenerative Medicine and Integrative Cancer Therapy, Dr. Edwards dispels past and emerging myths surrounding the effects of chronic stress. By clarifying misconceptions and providing clear and medically accurate health advice, Dr. Edwards empowers patients to become their own health care advocates. If youre searching for answers, youll find this vital and readable book packed with real-life case studies, eye-catching graphics and up-to-date facts on the connection between stress, abnormal cortisol production and pervasive modern maladies like cancer, heart disease, depression, allergies, insomnia, reproductive disorders and premature aging. Dr. Edwards will also explain that, while low cortisol states do indeed exist and contribute to disease, the concept of "adrenal fatigue" undermines and misrepresents the true underlying process. Readers of Adrenalogic also gain the opportunity to "step behind the curtain" and discover the intricate relationship between mind and body while Dr. Edwards carefully explains the steps needed to regain health and balance, providing insight on how to outsmart stress and to make it work for you.
