Adrenal-related issues are seemingly epidemic today - many people complain of some degree of "adrenal fatigue" or "burnout." This is hardly surprising given the incredibly stressful world we live in today. The unfortunate truth is adrenal-related issues are poorly understood today. Also, most health care providers still practice using outdated theoretical models from the 1950s, which fail to hold up in the face of modern stress physiology. In fact, the vast majority of so-called "adrenal issues" have nothing whatsoever to do with the adrenal glands themselves!
