Need More Energy?

Are You Fatigued? Take this mini quiz:

Y / N: “Feel tired or lack energy almost daily.”

Y / N: “I am living at less than my potential for both activity and enjoyment because I lack the physical or mental energy required.”

Known Causes of Fatigue

Several physical conditions are known to cause fatigue. The good news is that if you have one of these conditions, you’ll have an excellent idea of what is causing your fatigue. Not sure if you have one of these? Read on; there’s more about that.

1: Anemia. This creates a lack of oxygen in your blood. You may get dizzy when you stand up, have brain fog, and get heart palpitations.

2: Diabetes. Blood sugar fluctuations require a great deal of energy, leaving you with little left for your life.

3: Thyroid. The metabolism master hormone gland. It dictates how much energy will be manufactured by every cell in your body. If it is stressed, you may have brain fog, exhaustion, and lack of motivation.

4: Heart Disease. If your heart isn’t pumping blood normally you can be severely fatigued. The tiredness will get worse as you exercise. You may also get shortness of breath and swelling in your arms and legs.

5: Sleep Problems. Insomnia, sleep apnea or just bad sleep habits can build up and lead to chronic tiredness and feeling sleepy.

6: Menopause / Prostate Problems. Having interrupted sleep from frequent urination, night sweats, and other symptoms of low hormone levels can cause severe brain fog, memory problems, lack of energy, and general misery.

7: Depression. Severe stress that goes along with depression can cause hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances. You may have trouble sleeping or wake too early and can’t get back to sleep.

8: Long Covid. This one has a wide variety of symptoms that are not yet understood. Fatigue is a common long-Covid symptom.

Even if you can identify which of these problems is causing your fatigue, there’s still the question of what can you do about this?

Some of these problems have real solutions, but most of them have only long-term drug-based symptom management available.

In most cases, the drugs used for symptoms won’t do much, if anything, for your fatigue or lack of energy.

Unknown Causes of Fatigue

So, what if you’re exhausted but don’t have any of the above health problems? Now what?

You’re in the same situation as people with diabetes, thyroid, menopause, depression, and long Covid. No medical solutions to these health conditions would resolve the fatigue associated with them.

The only possible solution in any of these cases is:

Get tested to determine what factors are preventing your body from healing.

If you don’t do this, you will be guessing, trying one thing after another to see what might work, researching the internet endlessly, and finding little that actually helps.

A word of caution: Discovering the cause(s) of your health problem is just the first step. You’ll also have to do something effective to assist your body in regaining its ability to heal.

If you have a stubborn/long-term health problem, there is no single treatment, drug, supplement, or diet that will solve it.

Read that last statement again. It’s important.

You Don’t Need a Single Treatment; You Need a Guide and a Program

You need an entire program to work with your body, diet, and lifestyle to restore your life and health. You’ll also need a guide to work with you through the program and ensure you get complete results.

Avoiding the Downward Health Spiral

Listen To Yourself

This hesitation in believing yourself about your own health results from a health care system that specializes in treating symptoms instead of health.

I recommend you listen to your body and believe what it tells you.

If You Feel Bad, Something is Very Wrong

If you take the right actions, you can reverse your declining health and resume a happy and fulfilling life.

If you don’t do anything effective about your health, your happiness can be reduced. Your health may continue to worsen, and you may eventually have a health problem that your doctor can diagnose. At this point, treatment will likely be long-term medication to control a symptom while your health continues to deteriorate.

The Spiral Down

Many people feel bad, can’t get help from their doctor, think that this is their lot in life and just suffer.

Some, however, put up a heroic fight to improve:

• First, you might go to your doctor. Doctors must diagnose you to do any treatment. If you can get no useful diagnosis, this is likely to result in either no help or a prescription for antidepressant drugs.
• If you discover that this is certainly not what you were looking for, you may research the internet for products to try. This often results in countless hours wasted while becoming more confused.
• You may use many different supplements, herbs, and remedies. Some of these may help and create hope, only to stop working after a while.
• Some people may search for professionals: naturopaths, chiropractors, and functional medicine doctors. In many cases, treatment will produce an improvement. But this can often be followed by a plateau with no progress and then a slow slide back into feeling bad.

The final result can be a person who feels bad and has convinced themselves that there’s nothing left to try. They may have come full circle back to thinking this is their lot in life.

You Don’t Need a Treatment; You Need a Guide and a Program

If you generally don’t feel well long-term, there is no single treatment that is likely to help. Your problem is probably more complex than a single solution from a drug, supplement, or diet.

What you need is an entire program to work with your body, diet, and lifestyle to restore your life and health. You’ll also need a guide to work with you through the program to make sure you get a full result.

This doesn’t have to be hard. It could be done in less time than you may be imagining.

Feeling So Much Better!

To Lose Weight… Stop Trying to Lose Weight

If you are frustrated (or beyond frustrated) by your inability to lose weight, I have some radical advice:

Stop trying to lose weight.

The usual actions for weight loss revolve around diet and exercise. Weight loss is supposed to happen if you burn more calories than you take in.

But in many cases, this has proven to be completely ineffective.

This can leave you frustrated, often trying one diet, supplement, or exercise program after another.

There Are Other Reasons for Stubborn Weight

Some people can lose weight by making a few diet changes and becoming a little more active (you may hate these people).

However, genuine cases of stubborn weight rarely succeed with calorie-based solutions because calories frequently aren’t the reason for the weight.

Less known but very common causes of stubborn weight:

• Food allergies
• Digestive problems
• Hormone imbalances
• Blood sugar problems

Many people can’t lose weight or stop gaining weight due to health problems that have nothing to do with calories or exercise.

Most attempts to lose weight are based on calories and exercise, thus maximum frustration.

An Essential Action

If you’ve had trouble with your weight and want to lose it and keep it off, you’ll have to be active. I have never seen a patient successfully lose weight without becoming active*. By “active” I mean walking each day, moving around during the day, and doing several hours of activity on weekends (yard work, hiking for an hour or two, etc.) on weekends.

If you have a health condition preventing you from being active, this may need to be improved to lose weight. Commonly my weight patients say they have no energy or motivation to be active. There are usually physical reasons for this which can be improved, resulting in good energy, better motivation, good activity level… and weight loss!

*Don’t start an exercise program without your doctor’s approval.

Cravings!

Often I’m asked, “What if I can’t control what I eat? I crave sugar, carbs, and junk food all day long.”

This can be a barrier to any weight loss. Happily, I researched and addressed this problem decades ago. I have specialized acupressure treatments that help the body reduce or eliminate cravings so you can control your food intake.

Weight Loss Formula:

1. Identify and resolve any health problems, such as hormones, allergies, etc., that will prevent weight loss (this is a worthwhile action for your happiness and future health, anyway).
2. Eat a healthy diet for your specific health challenges. For example, if you have blood sugar problems, you need to control your carbs and sugar more than most people.
3. If eating healthy is challenging, reduce your cravings and get on a diet consultation program.
4. Become (or continue to be) active daily.

You Don’t Need a Treatment; You Need a Guide and a Program

If you have been dealing with stubborn weight for a long time, there is probably no single solution to resolve this.

The reason for your weight problem is going to be more complex than a drug, supplement, or diet solution can handle.

You need an entire program to work with your body, diet, and lifestyle to restore your life and health. You’ll also need a guide to work with you through the program and ensure you get a complete result.

This doesn’t have to be hard. It could be done in less time than you may imagine.
