Healing and Overcoming Adrenal Fatigue with Vanessa Romero
On this episode we talk with special guest Vanessa Romero of Healthy Living How To about how she overcame her adrenal fatigue. Vanessa is an expert in all things healthy living after being an NASM personal trainer for many years as well as being certified by Precision Nutrition.
In 2008 Vanessa was lethargic, depressed, and could not lose weight. She sought help from several doctors and finally found the answers from an integrative practitioner Jim Lavalle. She lost weight, got her energy back and her even got over her hormonal melasma (dark patches on the skin).
