My experience has taught me that adrenal exhaustion is a real condition that causes serious problems, including exhaustion, chronic fatigue, malaise, light-headedness, chronic colds, and a feeling as if life is a constant struggle of walking uphill.

This is often difficult if you live in a polluted environment; a harsh, cold, and dry winter environment; a dusty environment; or if you suffer from sinus allergies. These can all constantly dry and swell your sinuses, leaving you miserable. Read More
