In this book, Robert M. Sapolsky delves into the fascinating world of stress and its impact on our bodies. He explains why zebras, unlike humans, rarely suffer from stress-related illnesses. Sapolsky combines cutting-edge research with practical advice and engaging anecdotes to illustrate how prolonged stress can cause or intensify a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, and heart disease. The book also provides essential guidance on managing stress responses and offers new insights into how stress affects sleep, addiction, anxiety, and personality disorders[3][4][5].
In 'Hashimoto’s Protocol', Dr. Izabella Wentz outlines a proven treatment plan that has helped thousands of people with Hashimoto’s disease.

Grounded in the latest science, the book offers hope for remission and provides practical steps, recipes, and supplements to help readers improve their health within 90 days.

When we experience stress–or any threat to our well-being–our brain goes on high alert, activating an ancient system designed to protect us from a wide variety of threats and dangers. Unfortunately, modern life is keeping most of us in a state of chronic stress activation. This puts our bodies in an ongoing state of survival mode and sets the stage for burnout, fatigue, and adrenal dysfunction.
Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk with Izabella Wentz all about adrenal dysfunction, how it develops, its common signs and symptoms, and how to support your adrenal function to reverse burnout.
