Have you ever felt so exhausted and lethargic that you did not think you could make it through the day, but then had difficulty falling asleep? Andriana Follea was concerned about people she knew who were struggling with health issues like this. Since she could not find a medical treatment for adrenal fatigue that worked, she researched and found non-medical solutions. Andriana's concern led her to write a book on the subject. She realized that there were quite a number of folks who had this problem who simply did not know how to deal with it when doctors could not help.

CHAPTER 1- WHAT ARE THE ADRENAL GLANDS AND WHAT DO THEY DO IN THE BODY?

Adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are part of our endocrine system. They interact with their endocrine counterparts, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain to keep our systems balanced and well regulated. As their Latin name ad renal would indicate, they are located over the kidney. Each adrenal gland sits atop each of our kidneys like a cap and is no larger than a walnut (about four to six centimeters long and weighing between 7 and 10 grams.) Our right adrenal gland is shaped like a little triangle while the left is crescent, or semi lunar, in shape. But don’t let their small size fool you. The adrenal glands are quite powerful and, in fact, we cannot live without them.

The adrenal glands are responsible for the production and secretion of about fifty different hormones that our bodies require to function properly every minute
