Why are you so tired all the time? 😴☕️
If you came to me with low energy, here’s 6 things I’d dig into:
1. What’s on your plate? Are you crashing after meals? Unknown food intolerances OR poor fueling could be draining you. If you are reacting to or feeling low energy after eating certain foods, my next question would be ‘what is going on within your gut that is making you so reactive to certain foods?’
2. Nutrient deficiencies! When was the last time you had a blood test? Vitamins and minerals play key roles in energy production. Especially iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Are you getting enough and are they being utilised by the body appropriately? Check with your practitioner that your levels are GOOD and not just “within range”.
3. Stressed to the max? Chronic stress pushes your body into overload, leaving you exhausted.
4. Always sick? Frequent illnesses could be a clue your body’s fighting something bigger. Perhaps a persistent viral infection that just keeps returning?
5. Are you sleeping well? And I mean, falling asleep easily, staying asleep and waking feeling refreshed?
6. Are your hormones happy? Hormone dysfunction can play a MAJOR role in energy production. Especially thyroid hormones, s*x hormones (such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone) and insulin, our lovely little blood sugar regulating hormone, that is so often forgotten about.
If fatigue has become your new normal, it’s worth exploring what’s really behind it - whether that’s hormones, nutrient gaps or gut issues.
