Dr Joel Rosen is the founder of thetruthaboutadrenalfatigue.com and creator of Your Adrenal Fix Podcast. His mission is to expose the truth about adrenal fatigue burnt-out men and women so that we can empower 100 million people to go from exhausted to energized. The truth is, adrenal fatigue goes deeper than just the adrenals. Dr. Joel teaches stressed-out adults that recovery requires this understanding. With your Adrenal Fix, healing really involves repairing your broken down HPA axis, otherwise known as your stress response system. Restoring your circadian rhythm, understanding the impact that all environmental stressors have on the body, and how your genetic "uniqueness" all combine together. Resulting in your fatigue. That can be tested, measured, and improved upon.
