Once again, Dr. Jackson has hit it out of the ballpark with her latest book, Brilliant Burnout. In it, she describes very accurately all the stages of adrenal stress, exhaustion, and burnout, as well as the interactions involved in the stress response between the adrenals, ovaries, and other endocrine organs such as the thyroid, pituitary, hypothalamus, and the brain. This is a handbook for any woman who isnt feeling her best but doesnt know how to pinpoint the problem. It is also an excellent resource for any healthcare practitioner who needs a well-organized, in-depth resource on tips to diagnose and treat health challenges that have chronically high levels of stress as the basis for development. Readers can quickly determine which chapter (or chapters) are pertinent to their current situation by scanning questions at the beginning of each chapter and, if need be, reviewing the lists ending each chapter, which detail action steps that should be taken to enable the body to heal, repair, and recover from the 12 stages of burnout. I only wish this book had been available 20 years ago!

Thanks to her regulating my hormones and her detailed, easy-to-follow plan for diet, exercise, and supplements, I regained my energy, vitality, and health. Most recently, I have gone through some major life changesa divorce, relocation, a career change, and even menopausebut with Dr. Jacksons help, I not only went through this challenging chapter in my life with the strength, stamina, and clarity of thought necessary, but I also went through menopause without any of the typical negative symptoms. I am so grateful to Dr. Jackson for her expertise, care, and support. I will continue to recommend her and her book. We can feel great at any age!

The quality of my life has greatly increased since I have been under Dr. Nisha Jacksons care. Her views on healthcare are totally in line with what I believe are the secrets to quality of health and aging. I am a compounding pharmacist, and I love compounding hormones. For a long time, my personal belief has been that hormones are a fountain of youth. Nisha Jackson has managed my thyroid, which has helped with my energy level and weight gain. Nisha also has balanced my progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone during menopause, which I feel helped give me a youthful enthusiasm for life. Her book very clearly spells out how to achieve balance in your own life, and I highly recommend it!
