Dr. Atkinson will be speaking on:
Women and Fatigue
Wednesday May 3
Fatigue is a very real problem for women that, too often, families and physicians fail to take seriously. Dr. Atkinson stresses that fatigue is never "imagined," and can be caused by numerous factors, most of which can be resolved. Dr. Atkinson shares the major energy drainers and boosters, and gives countless practical tips on how to tip the balance in favor of the boosters. Every woman will come away from this session having laughed and learned-not only about how to conquer fatigue, but how to enhance life.
