I’m here to tell you that, yes, getting rid of fatigue is TOTALLY possible!🙌 You can gain the energy ⚡️you crave WITHOUT relying on coffee, energy drinks, meds, intermittent fasting, loads of exercise, or a restrictive diet. Have you tried any of these things to get rid of your fatigue?
What?😱 ✨Managing stress ✨Cutting back the high intense cardio workouts ✨Eating regularly instead of intermittent fasting ✨Eating enough nutrient-dense foods Can give you more energy??? Yes, yes, yes!!🥳 Fatigue is the number one symptom of a slow metabolism. And what’s the main cause of a slow metabolism? STRESS!!! Too much cortisol in your system hinders the thyroid from working like it’s supposed to. It slows down, and so does metabolism. One big stressor your body undergoes every day is keeping your blood sugar stable. It needs to have a certain amount of glucose flowing in the blood at all times to be able to use to make energy. When it’s too low from fasting, not eating enough calories, not eating enough carbs, or not eating often enough, your energy lowers. But to keep you alive, cortisol is released. It knocks on the door of your muscles and fat to get some stored glucose to use for energy. That process (called gluconeogenesis) is stressful! Cortisol is so important for keeping homeostasis and keeping your body alive and functioning well in emergencies. But it’s not a hormone we want being pumped out all day every day if we want a happy and healthy metabolism. Too much exercise, especially cardio, is also not good for someone that needs to recover from a slow metabolism and fatigue. High intensity exercise raises cortisol, and we want to keep that down and get out of that fight-or-flight state. Instead, try lower intensity strength training, yoga, or walks. Or just rest when you’re low on energy. Listen to that signal from your body and respect it. Have you noticed more energy after doing these things?
Eczema is a pain! Are you tired of your eczema and ready to make that itching go away? Healing eczema is a multi-faceted thing that involves working on the INSIDE (digestion, metabolism, stress, etc.) and the OUTSIDE - the surface of your skin. In this video I'm sharing topical treatment for eczema - what you can actually do on your skin to clear your eczema. I recently learned about a company called Soteri Skin that developed a product that focuses on supporting the skin a few different ways, one way being balancing your skin's pH. Did you know that pH and eczema are connected? Watch to see how pH balance and eczema are related, other ways to support your skin topically, and my results since using Soteri Skin's Balancing Act. ➔Soteri Skin Balancing Act: https://soteriskin.com/products/skin-buffering-treatment Use the discount code britt15 to get 15% off your first order with Soteri Skin! ➔If you'd rather read, here's my blog posts with tips for your topical care for eczema: https://www.brittbringsithome.com/topical-care-for-eczema/ ➔Download my FREE Stress Relieving Protocol for 5 Steps to Help You Relieve Stress & Start Feeling Better Today! https://www.brittbringsithome.com/stress-relieving-protocol ➔Check out my digital products & printables to help you plan your meals & stay healthy! ►REAL FOOD MADE EASY COOKBOOK: https://brittbringsithome.teachable.com/p/real-food-made-easy ►MEAL PLANNING CALENDAR: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1151332245/2022-meal-planning-calendar-12-month?click_key=7bad7edccd419c28891f8b10a6ea08c93fe8764f%3A1151332245&click_sum=923221cb&ref=shop_home_feat_2 ►FOOD AND MOOD TRACKER: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1075186589/printable-food-mood-tracker-food?ref=shop_home_active_1 ➔ Check out these popular videos! ►HOW TO HEAL LEAKY GUT | DIET AND SUPPLEMENTS FOR LEAKY GUT: https://youtu.be/BxmZ-yKmCKw ►ECZEMA AND THE GUT | Getting to the Root Cause of Eczema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22AFZI7tups ► GARAGE ORGANIZATION AND CLEAN WITH ME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFUQRDur32s ►ATTIC MAKEOVER BEFORE AND AFTER https://youtu.be/eGc-ozVcqBg ►THRIVE MARKET HAUL & REVIEW | HEALTHY ONLINE GROCERY SHOPPING https://youtu.be/h_dg5gn6P9o ►SWEET POTATO & KALE HASH: https://youtu.be/SKoinoHq2ek ➔Come say "Hi"! ► Website: https://www.brittbringsithome.com/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourishwithbritt/ ► Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/brittbringsithome/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittbringsithome/ ➔ Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqT9F-gl1MQYP1tqS1g6Z2g/?sub_confirmation=1

Making small changes overtime to reach your health goals can actually help you reach them quicker than overhauling your whole life. Before you take any drastic steps to gain more energy, think about whether or not you’ve got the basics down. Are you living in a way that supports balance in your body? Are you setting it up so that it’s strong and can defend against sickness, remove unwanted things, digest your food well, etc.?

What is your current level of energy??? Today I a What is your current level of energy??? Today I am a 😆 because I had an amazing night of sleep 🛌 last night and prioritized nourishing my body with a nutrient-dense breakfast 🍳 soon after I woke up.⁣ ⁣ Eating a good breakfast is so important for keeping your metabolism on track and providing glucose to your cells to use for energy.⁣ ⁣ Post below what emoji describes your energy today and why!👇
Which fat do you think is healthier?? According t Which fat do you think is healthier?? According to what we’re told by the government (because we can totally trust them) vegetable oil is the way to go. I mean vegetables are healthy, right?🤔 Question- can you see or squeeze the oil out of corn, “canola” (that’s not actually a vegetable), or other vegetables? No! Vegetables go through an incredible amount of processing 🤢 to extract the oil. It’s not natural at all. Animal fats, like butter, ghee, tallow, and lard, as well as coconut oil are much less processed and contain mostly saturated fat.👍 Here’s something controversial we’re told the opposite of - saturated fat is actually HEALTHY and needed! 🤯It’s gotten a bad rap because of a faulty study 100 years ago. But it actually DOESN’T lead to heart disease, obesity, and death- as long as it’s eaten in good amounts in a balanced diet (I’m definitely not saying to go around eating sticks of butter!). Saturated fat is solid 🧈at room temperature and is MUCH more stable than polyunsaturated fatty acids (also known as PUFAs) like vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and peanut oil. PUFAs are unstable and oxidize easily from heat, oxygen, or light (heat = cooking or inside the body since it makes heat). Why is that bad? Oxidation leads to free radicals. Free radicals lead to: 1️⃣cellular damage 2️⃣inflammation 3️⃣insulin resistance 4️⃣diabetes 5️⃣high blood pressure 6️⃣slow metabolism 7️⃣obesity 8️⃣aging skin 9️⃣cancer 🔟and pretty much every disease. So just eat the butter!🧈
Here’s something your doctor probably didn’t t Here’s something your doctor probably didn’t tell you about your fatigue… That it’s not normal….even if your blood work all comes back as “normal.” The blood does not give us the whole picture. Your blood can look great, but there’s still an issue at the cell level. There is always a reason for fatigue. Can you relate to this at all? Have you been told your fatigue is normal?
If you’ve tried to get rid of your fatigue and n If you’ve tried to get rid of your fatigue and nothing seems to be working, here’s something you may be missing… a positive support system that holds you accountable.👭 Your environment is everything. So if your spouse, other family, friends, and doctor aren’t willing or able to support you through this next chapter… it’s time to get some outside support. Someone (or a group of people) who is in your corner and truly gets what you’re going through. Community is so valuable in helping you feel seen and heard, learning from others, motivating each other, and helping keep each other accountable. That’s why The Fatigue to Freedom System is a GROUP coaching program and why I’ve built The Fatigue to Freedom System community… Because I know how important it is to have a supportive community of other moms just like you in your corner!🙌 Taking back control of your energy doesn’t need to be as hard as it may seem right now. There are resources available to you! The #1️⃣ action step you can take to set yourself up for success is to build a solid support system around you so that you can have the accountability you need to create lasting change. If you want to join in community with other tired moms like you, come join my free Facebook group, Fatigue Freedom for Tired Moms (the link is in my bio). #healthcoaching #healthcoachforwomen #supportfortiredmoms #accountabilitypartner #metabolismcoach #tiredmommy
I hear from women all the time that they’re eati I hear from women all the time that they’re eating clean and doing all the right things to gain energy, and they still have daily fatigue. I’ve been there too. I ate Paleo and restricted a ton of food, tried Keto, and counted and restricted calories. And I’m not saying that eating clean and avoiding processed food or avoiding non-organic food is bad. Counting and restricting calories isn’t bad either. It can be helpful at times, depending on what your goal is, and when done the right way. But here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter if you’re eating the most clean, organic, healthy foods on the planet if you’re not eating enough. Eating the most nutrient-dense foods in the world but only eating 1200 calories a day will not provide you with the energy you need to thrive. All your cells (with the exception of red blood cells) need FUEL to create energy. That fuel comes from FOOD. Most women are actually eating too few calories, not too many. I know there are exceptions. This doesn’t go for everyone. But if you’re struggling with fatigue and don’t know why - take a look at your food intake. Are you eating enough to allow your body to make enough energy? Because this is such an important piece of having energy, it is something we focus on in my program, The Fatigue to Freedom System. I help you figure out how many calories you need for your individual body and I help you get there in a strategic way. Send me a DM with “FFS” if you’re ready to get rid of your constant fatigue and want to learn more about what working with me in FFS would look like. #metabolism #metabolismsupport #tiredmoms #eatenough #caloriesmatter #foodisfuel #constantlytired
Not gonna lie...my journey to a fatigue-free life Not gonna lie...my journey to a fatigue-free life had its ups and downs. Making sure I was eating enough calories to support my metabolism was tough when I wasn’t even hungry the majority of the time. I also had some HUGE mindset hurdles to overcome. I had to let go of some things I was led to believe were true, but just weren’t… Through all the struggles and setbacks on my way to a healthy metabolism and consistently great energy… 💡My biggest realization was that perfectionism was my biggest enemy.💡 Setting unrealistic standards for myself, trying to do all the things, and do them all perfectly got me in trouble. It caused way too much stress and overwhelm, eventually leading to burnout and fatigue…because my body could not continue on how it was going. All the thinking and doing 1,000,000 things at once kept me in a fight-or-flight state constantly (so constant stress hormones😬). I’ve learned that healing often involves doing LESS, not MORE. And it’s okay to let go of perfectionism. Things do not have to be done perfectly. It’s okay to let the load of laundry sit an extra day because you have absolutely zero energy to get up and fold it. Remembering that one realization helped me reframe my thinking and move forward. It helped me prioritize the most important things. It helped me focus on one thing at a time, do the things that needed to be done the most, let good, rather than perfect, be enough, and say no to some things that aren’t necessary. Is perfectionism keeping you stuck with fatigue?⬇️ If so, try slowing down and taking some deep breaths throughout the day or whenever you feel yourself start to become overwhelmed. And don’t think about your to-do list while you’re breathing. Focus on your breath. Get your mind off of all the things you still need to do. Let me know if it helps!
