This YouTube interview (hosted by Robert Whitfield MD) presents a patient’s first-person account of a multi-year health struggle. The patient reports visiting multiple doctors in Austria who dismissed symptoms as age or stress, undergoing exercise/stress testing, then consulting a San Francisco clinician who identified "adrenal gland fatigue." The patient tried supplements, nutrition changes, and meditation with only slight improvement.
