Why Am I Always So Tired?

The overlooked connection between exhaustion

and copper/zinc imbalance in our bodies.

"This may well be a seminal book�a courageous eye-opener that could fundamentally alter our approach to the treatment of chronic fatigue."

-- From the forward by Michael Rosenbaum, M.D.

"Ann Louise Gittleman's book is probably the first to deal with the subject of copper excess in the American population. A condition that is becoming more prevalent in each generation but clinically unrecognized until now."

-- David L. Watts, D.C., Ph.D., C.C.N., D.A.C.B.N., F.A.C.E.P., F.I.A.A.C.N.

Calling All Copperheads! WHY AM I ALWAYS SO TIRED? by Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, presents a ground breaking discovery on the overlooked connection between exhaustion and a copper/zinc imbalance in our bodies.

Copper overload is an insidious but increasingly common nutritional problem, says Dr. Ann Louise, and that difficulty getting out of bed, midday slumps, mood swings, insomnia, and anxiety may be symptoms of a copper/zinc imbalance. She discovered this link after she encountered several patients in her nutritional practice--most of them women--who were not suffering from hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, or anemia (as she had suspected), but rather a mineral imbalance that was diagnosed after simple hair testing.

Vegetarian diets, low-fat diets, and taking multivitamins--all ostensibly healthy moves--can make you more susceptible to copper overload. So do less-healthy activities, including drinking alcohol and coffee, taking cortisone, and being constantly stressed. These activities zap the body of zinc, says Dr. Ann Louise, jeopardizing the delicate zinc/copper homeostasis in the body. Home tap water may also be overloaded with copper, and women are susceptible to absorbing copper from intrauterine devices and birth control pills.

To remedy the overload, WHY AM I ALWAYS SO TIRED? outlines an easy plan for renewing health and increasing energy. Dr. Ann Louise includes:

A questionnaire to help determine if copper overload may be a problem for you
Resources for hair analysis in case your doctor doesn't have one
Instructions on how to read a tissue-analysis report
A sensible diet plan, including menus to keep your zinc/copper balance in check

Up to 80 percent of the general population complains about fatigue; WHY AM I ALWAYS SO TIRED? may very well offer a simple solution for thousands of people.
