Letter to the Reader
Dear Reader,
Hello and welcome. I am thrilled that you have stumbled upon this book. Whether you picked this book up for yourself because you recently were diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, were given this book by a dear friend or relative who has experienced similar difficulties healing, or just happened upon this book and it sparked some interest, I know it has ended up in your hands for a reason.
My intention with this book is to give you the information needed to begin the journey to healing your adrenal glands. I hope the words within these pages will inspire you to reclaim your health and heal your body naturally. The world in which we live has become ridden with chronic disease and the overuse of medications to ease symptoms. The only problem is, many symptoms are not going away, and people are beginning to wonder why they arent being treated more holistically. Now is the time for you to find the right types of healthcare practitioners who can teach you how to heal symptoms naturally. It is time to learn what it takes to heal yourself, and live a truly disease-free lifestyle.
It is my mission that each of you becomes the best caretaker of your own body, mind, and spirit. By becoming better connected with ourselves, we become better connected with each other.
You need to learn what it takes to be healthy, just as you had to learn to ride a bike or drive a car. Many people have been taught the exact opposite of what keeps them healthy. Just look at the rampant chronic disease in America. It is time you change your mindset on what heals your symptoms and, more importantly, what confers health.
By understanding how your adrenal glands and your stress response affect your health, you can positively influence not only your own health, but also that of those around you, the community you live in, and the world.
With gratitude,
Dr. Maggie Luther

This book is dedicated to the most amazing man I know, my dear husband Jeff, who supports me and my mission of empowering others to take care of their health in a positive way. I am also eternally grateful for our darling daughter Kaylee Simone, and for my brother and sister, parents, in-laws, last remaining grandfather, Nono, and amazing community of friends. I would not be who I am without you.
Acknowledgments
With much gratitude for my clients, I would like to thank the people in my life who make what I do all worthwhile. You entrust your healing to me, often give me the wisdom to know how to help you, and keep me learning every step of the way. While I give you the knowledge regarding how to heal, you allow me to witness healing every day. I appreciate every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
To all my teachers along the way, the ones in the classroom and those I meet on the streets, you make life worth living. I have learned countless lessons from each of you and I seek to understand how to continue to make the world the best place it can be for all sentient beings.
Lastly, to my mother, for her enduring support, always believing in me no matter how unconventional my plans sounded, and always reminding me to seek my truest path. Whether she consciously knew it or not, I have become the best version of myself because she showed me how to continue to strive for the truth.
