let’s cover the 10 reasons why you might be exhausted and i have a lot of personal experience i was being exhausted a good portion of my life and i had no idea back then but i’m going to share some of my experiences with you in this video the first and most important thing to do when you have exhaustion is just to you know kind of go back in your mind and isolate when it started and then take a look at what happened just before that to get a clue was it diet related was it stress related was there some medication you got on and then then you’ll know okay the real simple thing that very few people do actually but let’s take it from the top number one medications have side effects there are so many people out there right now on medications that are tired that are not connecting the dots in fact i don’t even know of one medication that doesn’t give you fatigue or lethargy or some type of lowered energy as a side effect okay they all cause you to be tired because they inhibit or stimulate um neurotransmitters which are kind of like hormone little communications in your nervous system so especially if you’re in antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication or high blood pressure medication those definitely will make you tired so find another solution i’m not telling you to come off your medication but get with your doctor and see if you can do something more natural because if you’re trying to fix one problem and it gives you another problem it’s not worth it so number two fuel the fuel that you’re running your body on is the wrong fuel you’re running your body on sugar this applies to those that are new to my channel if you’re not new you already know this but burning fat fuel gives you a lot of energy burning sugar fuel will make you roller coaster with your energy and that was me in my 20s i was so exhausted i had no connection it was related to my diet as i was eating cereal and muffins and orange juice in the morning avoiding the saturated fat pure carbs and i had no connection i would in fact my wife and i would be driving the street and we’d see a health food store honey let’s go in there and take some vitamins and come out with all these vitamins in hopes of raising or boosting my energy well that never worked until i finally stumbled across a book called it’s called mastering the zone and in the first chapter i was talking about insulin and carbohydrates and i’m like why did i miss this in college and i started to consume more protein eggs and i’d cut down the carbs and oh my gosh did my energy come back fast and then i got really interested in the subject and doing massive deep dive in research and here i am okay and if you want that information what to eat i put the link down below number three poor sleep that’s a that’s a big one if you are not sleeping through the night if you are not feeling rejuvenated when you get up then it could be your stress level it could be something you’re missing there’s a lot of reasons i have probably at least 50 videos on sleep i’ll put one of the best ones down below but if you’re low in vitamin d and low in zinc that right there will keep you from sleeping and one little quick tip if you take vitamin d3 and zinc right before bed you may find that you sleep a lot better right off the bat of course you want to change your diet as well all right number four hidden infection this happened with me in high school i had mono okay that’s epstein-barr virus and so i had this infection it was really bad my tonsils were completely swollen and then later in life when i went through a lot of stress i had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia that was that epstein-barr virus sitting in the background being reactivated okay being reactivated by a stress state so these viruses tend to go dormant and then come out later in life not as a full-blown infection but as fatigue or achy joints or flu-like symptoms what happened with me is i really dealt with a major stress in my life at that time and ridding the stress caused that virus to go back on emission because stress activates cortisol cortisol paralyzes your immune cells your white blood cells so cortisol will just shut down your immune system the pathogens come out and create a lot of problems so you have to handle this thing right here to handle this another time in my life i got lines i i remember getting really tired just out of the blue for no reason like why am i so exhausted and then i looked in the mirror in my back and there’s a bullseye rash i’m like oh okay so i started to take the antibiotic and boy i did not feel good on that it felt like my body was like the inside was a wash machine it’s like something is just not good so i stopped that and i started taking um a series of herbal things and i’ll put the link down below of what i took and that took care of those symptoms and i got my energy back and i to this day i never had a problem with that okay number five post covid uh fatigue um a lot of people are complaining about this i did a video on it what you need is a lot of vitamin b1 because this infection depletes your b1 and one of the big side effects is a lack of energy because your little energy factories your mitochondria need b1 to create energy so you need a lot of b1 i wouldn’t take the synthetic version i would take a natural version and you will find that your energy goes up people that have gastric bypass surgery they’re usually low in b1 and they get fatigue people that drink a lot of coffee and tea through the day are b1 deficient and then that can cause fatigue and then the need for more caffeine all right number six if you tried the ketogenic diet and you get keto fatigue that’s merely that you’re missing either electrolytes specifically potassium or b vitamins the best source of b vitamins is nutritional yeast unfortified and of course the best electrolytes are of course my own brand and of course i’m not biased but here’s the thing with potassium every single cell has this little these little pumps are called sodium potassium pumps okay and what they do is they generate energy for the nervous system and the muscular system so you need a lot of potassium to run that system because if you’re deficient and especially if you add keto on top of it the demand for these nutrients does go up which i’m not going to get into the why but just add these two things in here and your fatigue will go away all right number seven you can have anemia and take a while guess what food has really good amounts of b12 and iron red meat that’s right red meat so taking these two vitamins doesn’t always work just simply because they might not be bioavailable right so if you switched over to a plant-based diet or a vegan diet and you start getting anemia maybe that wasn’t the best solution in the world but so many people have this subclinical anemia the other reason for anemia is that maybe you are getting these two nutrients but the stomach acid is not strong enough and so what you need is betaine hydrochloride okay simple remedy you take five betaine hydrochloride before you eat and you start acidifying the stomach now how do you know if you need more stomach acid a really good clue would be indigestion acid reflux that’s right and if you have those two symptoms or bloating just try some betaine hydrochloride and those symptoms will go away because you might think that wow i need to suppress the acid right no you need to increase the acid so if you are on or were on an acid okay that could be causing you anemia because it depletes the acid in your stomach so that’s another mechanism of why people are tired number eight low thyroid can definitely make you tired it could mean that you just need a little bit of iodine or selenium but most hypothyroid situations are autoimmune that’s number 10 where you have a lot of inflammation and that can be causing the fatigue the rem
