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?
