Hi Dr. Lopez! Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I should give you a bit of my history before I ask you my questions: I am 23 now, my problems started after a year of anorexia when I was 17. The next year I got severely depressed, could hardly get up in the mornings, gained around 50 lbs, started having panic attacks etc. It has been many years of trying to get back in shape and feel good. I just recently took an adrenal profile and found out I have stage 5 fatigue according to the symptoms. I also have low body temp. I had read about Wilson temp syndrome which comes on after a stressful time and I thought that was probably what had happened to me, but I cannot get the T3 to do Wilsons protocol. OK, ha, my question is (having just ordered adrenal fuel and neurocalm) do you think that is enough to get my adrenals working again? I am trying to watch my blood sugar by eating correctly also. Also, I really like Isagenix and I was wondering if you thought it would be alright to start doing their cleanse program after I allow my body a month of taking the adrenals to get built up again. Are there other things I should be taking? I have colloidal minerals and I also ordered a supplement called Thyrocare from Dr Wilson meant to raise the temp and help the body convert T4 to T3. I just want to be sure I am not missing anything. I had wondered about going onto armour. My dr put me on it a long time ago but the dose was very low and I saw no change. Anyway, I know that is A LOT, but if you are able to answer any of my questions I would feel very happy. Thank you!

Callie, Being an ex-actor myself, I understand your conncerns and desires and the fact that you want to get There ASAP I would recommend we doing a consultation to be able to give you specific information and guidance....you may think you gave me lots of history, but there is a lot more I would need to be specific for you but here are some things to think about. Yes, Adrnal Fuel and Neuro Calm, may be able to completely help you recover...but without know exactly where you are....How Low or out of Balance are all those numbers...the trick will be in getting the proper dosage to make the most impact. You may also need a couple of other things to speed up the process...such as licorice root, adrenal concentrate, DHEA/Pregnenolone? I don't know a lot about Isagenix, but if there products have soy in them...I would stay away. You are right to wait on doing a cleanse after your adrenals are built up. Without knowing the symptoms your body is giving.....which are clues to a good doc...it is difficult to get any more specific as to where to start and what needs to be done next and what dosage would work best? I am a fan of Armour, but if the thyroid problem is a result of an adrenal problem and the adrenal problem isn't being addressed....you are not going to get the results you want. I hope that helps, Dr. Len
