A blogger's perspective on adrenal fatigue. I googled this over the weekend since the naturopath says I have it. She told me to wean off caffeine...I am not looking forward to that, but I knew it was necessary. I love the warm coffee cup in the morning so I will need to find substitutes for a while. She prescribed an herb to help "Support the adrenals" it is called Rhodiola. 

This was a great article on eating "super foods" on the cheap.

Happy reading!
