Do you want to feel energetic and invigorated? Have you had enough of feeling tired and sluggish? If you suffer from tiredness and fatigue you know how difficult it can be getting through your day. Often others just think you’re lazy because you don’t have the energy to do things.

The good news is you’re not lazy and the tiredness and fatigue you’re experiencing isn’t your fault. I have found chronic tiredness and fatigue is triggered by 5 underlying causes…

Adrenal fatigue: your energy levels depend on your adrenal (stress) system. Your adrenals mobilise energy to help you adapt to stress. You become fatigued because stress is so constant (work, family, financial & social commitments to name a few) and your adrenals never get to rest. Slowly over the years your adrenals fatigue and your energy levels slump. Fortunately this is not a disease and can be reversed quickly and naturally.

Unbalanced diet: this is one of the most common causes of fatigue. If your carbohydrate intake is not balance with enough protein you end up with too much of a hormone called insulin. Insulin blocks your access to your energy reserves leaving you tired. What commonly happens then is you turn to sugars and carbs to keep your energy levels up.

Poor sleep: not getting good solid sleep or enough sleep is a sure fire way to drain your energy levels. When you don’t get enough sleep it’s a huge stress on your adrenals. If this persists for long enough it burns you out and you find yourself craving sugars and carbs to keep going. Poor sleep can be fixed we just need to identify its cause.

Thyroid hormone imbalance: thyroid hormone controls your energy levels. It’s the hormone that tells your cells how much energy to make and too little leaves you tired and sluggish. Stress is a big reason for thyroid hormone imbalances in both people on and not on thyroid medication. Stress can trigger your brain to think you might be in a famine. And so to protect you your body stops activating your thyroid hormones. This slows energy production so you don’t use your stored energy (fat) too quickly and survive the “famine”.

Infections: the residual effects of severe viral infections like glandular fever are a common cause of chronic fatigue and tiredness. These effects last because the infection was a massive stress on your body. But you may also have undiagnosed gut infections by yeasts (candida) and parasites. These nasty critters steal your nutrients and leave you tired and sluggish.

To stop tiredness and fatigue being an issue in your life you need to pinpoint it’s underlying cause. You could have one, two, three or all of the above underlying causes so it’s critical that you work out you have.

The way you do that is with specialised ‘functional’ testing. This differs from the regular testing your GP would do. And as you might have already experienced regular testing usually comes back ‘normal’.

To identify your issues which aren’t diseases you need to use a type of testing that reveals imbalances before they become a disease.

A blood cortisol test won’t tell you if you if you have adrenal fatigue. Or whether your daily cortisol release rhythm is distorted. It only tells you if you have adrenal disease which if your blood tests came back normal you don’t.

Or in the case of gut infections you might actually need to be test for parasites, yeasts and bacteria that your GP would never think to look for.

Fatigue Busters Once your underlying cause or causes are pinpointed then I can help you regain you energy and vitality, naturally not with stimulants, just like the thousands of my other patients. The beauty of taking this approach is that I can tailor your treatment to your specific issues. The test results will indicate to me the best foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs to boost your energy and make you life enjoyable again.

To discover how to regain your vitality and boost your energy levels all you need to do is organise a Freedom From Fatigue assessment consultation.

Your current fatigue problems
Your diet and exercise habits
Your previous medical and lifestyle history

And determine what special functional (not regular pathology) tests to you’ll need to do to determine with laser like accuracy your underlying fatigue causes.

Then once I have all this critical information I can develop an individualised plan that fits your needs and lifestyle that restores and boosts your energy levels.
