Constant tiredness affects everything from your energy levels to your mood and daily activities. It can leave you feeling unmotivated, and disconnected from loved ones, and even impact your ability to work or sleep. Finding solutions involves looking at both physical and emotional factors to regain vitality and enjoy life fully again.

Before we get into the three easy ways to boost your energy, let’s uncover three possible causes of why you could be feeling tired all the time.

Hidden Cause #1 Poor blood sugar control- Eating the wrong kinds of foods for you or eating them at the wrong time of day.
Hidden Cause #2 Poor sleep triggered by unnatural food which contains chemicals in it, and also screen time within 2 hours of going to bed… think laptop, cellphone, tablet. The Blue light in the screens tricks your body into thinking it is daytime and throws off your natural circadian rhythm, making it hard to settle down and go to sleep. Read a book instead. (Do not use a back-lit Kindle)
Hidden Cause # 3 Poor microbiome balance creating internal toxicity and poor digestion.

Now how do you test for these hidden causes of tiredness? And what are youclooking for?

These are the three tests you can do.

Test #1 Test your blood glucose at home- even if you are not diabetic and discover what foods trigger your blood glucose to go up, and stop eating them. There’s an easy at-home test- you can do. Go to your local drug store and purchase a glucometer, a lancing device, glucose strips, and alcohol wipes, this will allow you to test your blood glucose before and after each food or meal you consume and help you monitor what happens to your blood glucose based on what you ate. However, unfortunately, you have to prick your finger each time. Or for an easier, more complete, and less painful experience, get a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) (If you want help with, this we can get you one or around $200).
Test #2 Check the labels of all the food you are eating, if there is some ingredient you don’t recognize, it might not be good for you. If it is a packaged food and you love it, it might be your culprit, in other words, the chemicals in it might be hijacking your brain chemistry.
Test #3 Do a specialized stool test that looks for a number of different markers associated with your microbiome, bacteria, other organisms, and parasites, and it also looks at your ability to digest food and support your immune system. (If you want help with this, let us know, we have a specific lab test we use)

You’ve learned about the possible reasons for your tiredness and what tests to do. Now, let’s discuss simple tips to start feeling more energized.

Strategy #1 Make sure your blood sugar stays relatively stable. Personally, I found that if I ate some sugary food and if my blood glucose was rising, getting close to 150 because of it, I got sleepy. But I also found that if I immediately exercised somewhat vigorously, it would burn off the excess sugar, my glucose didn’t go up, and I didn’t get tired.
Strategy #2 Check the labels of food, avoid ones with chemicals you don’t recognize.
Strategy #3 Stay off of screens for 2 hours before bed, especially the computer, tablet, and cell phone. Read a book instead.
