Adrenal fatigue? Say what? I hear you. It’s certainly nothing they ever taught me in medical school, and chances are that if you go to your doctor at Kaiser and ask to get tested for it, they’ll raise a white coat eyebrow at you.

Today is the first day I see patients at my new practice, The Owning Pink Center, an integrative medicine center for vital wellness. In honor of this special day, I wanted to share with you some thoughts I have on being not just well, but VITAL. Too many people (including doctors) settle for being merely "not sick." But I believe we have the capacity for so much more. I believe we can get and keep our mojo, nurture the body so that it performs optimally, and live a joyful, fulfilled life.

Hiya Pinkies. I already posted something for today, but a bunch of you have come to me begging me to don my white coat and comment on the new recommendations from the U.S. Preventative Task Force about mammography in young women, so here goes.

Do you find it challenging to pull yourself out of bed in the morning? Are you living on that triple shot Caramel Macchiato? Are you tempted to nap every afternoon? Does your body protest when your brain feels like exercising? Do you feel like fatigue is all that separates you from your mojo?
