TOP 4 UNKNOWN REASONS YOU ARE TIRED!
Free Tips from a Functional Medicine Doctor
1. Mitochondria either broken or damaged
Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, plays a critical role in cellular function and energy production. It is the thing that generates ATP, the primary source of energy for ALL of your cells. Sorry for the science lesson here that a lot of us slept through in biology. The source of the problems involving neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's is often a result of poor mitochondria function.
Tip: Reduce inflammation (loaded topic here) and Eat lots of green leafy vegetables. Green plants have CHLOROPLASTS, the plant equivalent to animal MITOCHONDRIA. By eating chloroplasts, your body uses the healthy parts to fix any damaged areas within the mitochondria. A number of people have had success in treating the "untreatable" neurodegenerative diseases by consuming 12 SERVINGS of Greens per day!
2. Inefficient BIOCHEMICAL breakdown or energy use
Your energy machines are broken. You don't process proteins and fats like a normal person does. This oftentimes leads to a significant lack of energy and mood fluctuations as you lack basic nutrients. Imagine breaking down protein or fats at 50% efficiency...This can be a serious problem and over time compounds. I wouldn't want to see that in my bank account...
Tip: Obtain an Advanced Functional Medicine Test and possibly a genetic test. Modern testing will allow you to discover how your body functions on a BIOCHEMICAL level. Conventional medicine does not have thee tools to measure these things and it is easy!
Protip: If you have done 23 and me or other genome mapping products, you can take your genetic code and put it into a database to see what potential dangers lie ahead. There companies that specialize in measuring specific diseases or codes - less than $100! DIY
3. GLUTEN
Gluten sensitivity can also affect your mood and cognitive function. Many people report feeling foggy-headed, irritable, or anxious after consuming gluten. This may be due to the inflammatory response triggered by gluten in sensitive individuals, which can impact brain function and neurotransmitter activity. In some cases, gluten sensitivity has been linked to conditions like depression and ADHD, further highlighting the complex relationship between gluten and mental health.
Tip: Don't eat it at all. All or nothing for 1-2 months as an experiment. This stuff has a half life of 30 days! (takes 30 days for half of it to be processed). Massive change awaits you on the other side.
4. Device use before bed
The blue light from the devices tells the photoreceptors on yourbody towake up...justlike the sundoes.
Tip: Either avoid using the device a few hours before bedtime OR get yourself some blue light filter glasses. The amber glasses are a better filter than the clear ones if you want to go above and beyond.
