Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Everyone.... I need your help! Last summer I worked (successfully) with a 22-yo female client (normal BMI) who wanted to improve her body composition but who was, in my opinion, a borderline eating disorder client. We met several times with a lot of success and have a good relationship, but I have not seen her since September. Her family lives out of state for the winter, so I just received this email is from her mother, seeking further advice: " She (client) was having some major anxiety and depression problems, in late summer, and a homeopathic Dr. was recommended to us. It turns out she has adrenal gland fatigue. Basically her cortisol levels were not anywhere they needed to be, at any time of the day. Long story short, she is taking DHEA, Inositol, and a botanical liquid that he makes at his office, and liquid Licort. She has been taking these things since mid October, and has improved in some aspects, but is still struggling with all the aspects of this malady. At one point, in October, she lost her appetite, was nauseated part of the time, and lost about 12# before some relief from the supplements, etc., kicked in. She has not lost any more weight, and is working out 3 or 4 days a week now. She actually did not work out for about a month because she felt so poorly. I am just wondering if you have any nutritional advice to go along with the supplements she is taking. " Any thoughts?? Homeopathy is not something I am well versed in. Thanks so much! J.
