Outrunning The Swine Flu Epidemic!
If you live in a big city like
Boston, then outrunning something like the flu takes a lot more than killer sneakers from Marathon Sports.
In the last few weeks, every news source is scaring us to death about Swine Flu. The largest outbreak in cases in the
US was in
New York City, and of course we have all heard the reports coming out of
Mexico. But let's really look at this so the hype doesn't get us all hyped up.

Maybe It's Adrenal Fatigue?
I know... you're really not that familiar with your adrenal glands. Well, believe me, your doctor is just as unfamiliar as you are. I can't tell you how many patients step through my door with one diagnosis after another, still feeling as bad as the first day they went to the doctor, and the real issue is the elusive adrenals. Perhaps part of the reason is that this isn't something you can treat with just a pill and a prayer.
This is a lifestyle approach and a therapy each and every day.
Balance is the key, and although you may need to be conservative and regimented for a few weeks, you can certainly relax and find a natural balance that keeps your energy up and your weight down for the rest of your life.

The Science of Stress
Don't underestimate stress. It isn't just what's in your mind, what you think, what you fear. It's actually a physiological way of your body coping. It's a different way of breathing, of walking, of eating, of showing affection. Everything changes under stress because the body is not capable of working normally.
