Summary

Get actionable expert tips on testing, nutrition, and lifestyle changes you can do to achieve peak adrenal function. Izabella Wentz, PharmD., aka the “Thyroid Pharmacist,” takes on adrenal fatigue, its symptoms, and the importance of fixing adrenal function in addition to treating thyroid issues in her new book, “Adrenal Transformation Protocol: A 4-Week Plan to Release Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving.”

She went deep into the research to develop an actionable guide for you. Her new book helps you identify and mitigate the effects of adrenal dysfunction. 

  • If you’re experiencing low energy, insomnia, brain fog, anxiety or burnout, your adrenals may be overworked.
  • You’ll learn why adrenal, immune, and thyroid issues develop as an adaptive mechanism to protect you in times of danger.
  • You’ll also learn how to manage four big stressors that influence your adrenals in a negative way.
  • You’ll find out what lifestyle and mindset changes you can make that turn off danger signals and communicate safety messages to your body.


Her protocol emphasizes providing the body with more safety signals to counteract the stress response. She recommends dietary changes, anabolic-focused exercises, and supplements such as carnitine. She also explains the role of adrenal dysfunction in allergies and histamine issues, the dangers of B6 supplements, and the importance of balancing sodium and potassium intake for adrenal health. She suggests Epsom salt baths, a cold bedroom, and paying attention to factors such as H. Pylori, malabsorption, and the CBS gene mutation to address ammonia levels in the body.

If you suspect your adrenals are on the fritz, Izabella stresses the importance of a varied and holistic approach to treatment. She urges proper testing and diagnosis of adrenal dysfunction and thyroid issues to build resilience in your body.
