Q: How is this program different from the book(s)?
The Adrenal Transformation Program is a deep, focused dive into supporting the adrenals. It is based on the Fundamental Adrenal Recovery Protocol from my book, Hashimoto’s Protocol. I had initially developed the Fundamental Protocols in 2014-2015 when looking for a way to get people effective and efficient results. Since that time, I’ve grown tremendously as a healer. I am always finding new research, taking courses, testing out new ideas ("guinea pigging"), and thinking about how to get more people feeling better and better. As a result, you will find that the original Adrenal Recovery Protocol has evolved, just as I have. :-) The Adrenal Transformation Program is the result of this evolutionary process!
While the original protocol is based heavily on changes made to one’s lifestyle (removing caffeine, eating for blood sugar balance, getting lots of sleep, etc.) and hormones (pregnenolone, DHEA, and occasionally adrenal glandulars and hydrocortisone), these interventions were not always possible, feasible, or safe for everyone. The evolved approach to adrenals does not use any hormones. Rather, it's coupled with the original adrenal support methods of personal transformation (that’s where the “transformation” comes in), mitochondrial support (ATP), and targeted nutritional methods that support top adrenal triggers like sleep deprivation, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, infections, and gut dysbiosis. While I still stand by getting lots of sleep, eating for blood sugar balance, and minimizing caffeine, I have realized that these lifestyle “choices” can be a coping mechanism for the underlying issues, and this program will provide you with additional support to keep you feeling well and functional while you heal your body… without the need to be “perfect” with your lifestyle choices. I also realized from my last standalone program, the Root Cause Reset (based on the Liver Support Protocol from the Hashimoto's Protocol book), that having daily emails and support can really help accelerate the complacency of following a program - that is how the idea of the Adrenal Transformation Program was born!
Over 90 percent of my readers and clients have been found to have some degree of adrenal dysfunction, and the majority have a profile of low cortisol. This program is tailored to addressing this specifically, which should eliminate the need for expensive and complicated adrenal testing for most people.
I believe that addressing adrenal issues will help you feel significantly better — and I am so excited to offer an abundance of support to you so that you can get your life back!
