Fatigue causes many ailments:

Lack of sleep causes fatigue and can have a negative impact on your health and wellbeing.
Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time each morning to keep yourself on schedule. Make sure your mattress is comfortable, the room is sufficiently dark and cool and your phone is not in the room.

Sleep apnea is when sufferers briefly stop breathing for short periods during sleep. It can cause load snoring or daytime fatigue. Being overweight, smoking and drinking alcohol can cause this to happen.

Not eating the correct food can affect your sleep. Eating a lot of carbohydrates or sugary food or drinking a lot of alcohol can cause your blood sugars to spike and then drop dramatically.

Anaemia, iron deficiency is very common in women. Without iron, your body may not be getting enough oxygen it needs for energy.

Depression causes sadness and anxiety, but it can also cause physical symptoms including fatigue, insomnia and pains.

Caffeine overload: tea, coffee, chocolate, coke or alcohol.

Most people think that coffee keeps them awake. Your blood sugars drop after a certain length of time having caffeine in your system. Too much caffeine can cause jitters, heart to race or palpitations.

Diabetes can cause fatigue with either high or low blood sugars. When your sugars are high, they remain in the bloodstream instead of being used for energy, this makes you fatigue. Low blood sugars means you may not have enough fuel for energy also causing fatigue.
Dehydration, feeling thirsty, this can cause lack of energy.

Heart disease: when the heart is less able to pump blood to all of the body’s tissues, it conserves resources by diverting blood from the limbs and instead of sending it to the vital organs. This can cause fatigue.

Food allergies can cause fatigue. Certain foods, the body may not be able to tolerate.

There are many therapies here in the clinic that can help this. Get in touch for more information & to book.

Anxiety

There are a variety of anxiety disorders, each with varying symptoms, but most involve fear and worry. A sense of dread is common and the feelings can persist for months.

Examples of anxiety disorders are:

General Anxiety; Panic attacks; Social anxiety disorder, Specific Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Disorder.

“IF YOU HAVE AN ANXIETY DISORDER, YOUR BRAIN MAY BE WIRED THAT WAY”

This means that anxiety could be a combination of genetics and environment.

For instance, if you grow up in an environment with frequent yelling or abuse, it might make you prone to looking out for potential threats even when they are no longer there. Some people are so used to feelings of anxiety that they don’t realize there is a problem and simply suffer in silence. As these feelings intensify, it can lead to social isolation, physical symptoms or health problems. Much Anxiety can start in childhood, which, if it remains unresolved, can lead to more intense Anxiety in adulthood.

Remember, it’s ok not to feel ok everyday. When you experience ‘down days’, try to avoid looking at the bigger picture; rather, ask yourself what is the ‘one’ thing you can do today that will make you feel a little better. The sun will come again tomorrow.

Most people do nothing to help their anxiety, but there are plenty of options open to you. Here at the clinic we can offer Reflexology, Cranial Sacral therapy, Hypnotherapy / psychotherapy, Mindfulness/ CBT and Acupuncture.

Nourishing your gut flora with probiotics is extremely important for brain function since there is a Gut-Brain connection. Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables is very important also.

6 ways to detox the mind

Avoid “I should, I have to” and replace with “I choose, I can”.

Clear out clutter, this clears the mind.

Stop procrastinating and do the thing you are avoiding on your ‘to do’ list.

Become aware of negative self talk and try to interrupt it as soon as it starts.

Brains need water and o2, drink 2 litres per day.

Resist the urge to compare yourself to others for this clouds your mind.

Tips to Ease Back to School Time.
It’s that time of year again when children/students are back to school. Whether it is their first day in primary school, beginning secondary education or moving on to 3rd level colleges, it is always a stressful time for children and their parents alike.
For parents, the huge financial outlay is stressful. It is a good idea to put aside some money weekly for the next educational year. It can also be emotionally taxing for parents as they let go of their child’s hand into the next leg of life’s journey. Taking some Vitamin B, it helps the nervous system cope better.
For the children, there are some measures you can take to assist them.
• Ensure they get to bed early and get quality sleep. A tired body does not function well, a rested body does. If they are well slept, there uptake of information and attention span will be more focused.
• Discuss rules around screen time and keep this to a minimum.
• Exercise is vital, even in short bursts. Ensure they get outside in the evening; this helps clear their heads,and they will do homework tasks more easily.
• A good breakfast is an important start to the child’s day.
• Studies have shown that eating eggs for breakfast increases feelings of fullness, reduces calorie intake at the next meal, and helps maintain steady blood sugar and Iinsulinlevels. Egg yolk contains Lutein and Zeaxanthin: these antioxidants help prevent eye disorders like Cataracts + Macular Degeneration.
• Greek Yogurt is high in Protein, and helps reduce appetite. Certain types contain Probiotics which are important for protecting your child’s Immune system.
• Oatmeal is the best breakfast choice for cereal lovers. Oats is calming to the mind so is important for the anxious child. As it is low in Protein, adding milk helps boost this. Top it with fruit to add the extra vitamins and antioxidants. Add Chia seeds to increase fibre.
• Include nuts and fruit in their lunchbox for a healthy snack.
• Forget the fizzy drinks! Instead, ensure the child drinks plenty of water. It is so important for their Brain and Muscular health.
• Attend to any health issues the child may have. This helps protect their Immune system against
