Unpacking Burn-Out Syndrome

As a functional medicine practitioner, I’m normally the one guiding people out of their health problems. So when I saw the symptoms of adrenal fatigue creeping into my own life, I knew I had to start practicing what I teach.

From my own research, I suspected suboptimal functioning of the adrenal glands, especially under the kind of stress I had been experiencing prior to the symptoms occurring.

But I was stunned that, despite the abundance of information (though mostly anecdotal) about this condition, there was no scientific consensus on its development.
