I want to wish you a happy 4th of July!  This week, let’s prioritize self-care and fuel our bodies with nourishing choices. Whether you’re firing up the grill or enjoying a celebratory picnic, healthy choices can make all the difference.

If you find yourself feeling constantly tired or feeling drained no matter how much rest you get, it’s time to take charge of your energy levels and overcome fatigue.

Fatigue is a common issue that affects many of us, but it doesn’t have to be a permanent part of your life.

Here are my best tips to boost energy levels and overcome fatigue:

Understand the Root Causes

Fatigue can stem from various factors, including poor diet, lack of exercise, insufficient sleep, and stress…  By identifying the root cause, you can take targeted actions to feel more energized. Is it time for an annual check-up by your provider? Make sure to rule out a medical cause for fatigue if it has persisted.

Nourish Your Body with the Right Foods

Incorporate a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates regularly throughout the day (approx 3-5 hours between meals). Stay hydrated with at least 8 glasses of water daily, and limit sugar and refined carbs; these can cause energy crashes. Opt for whole-food alternatives.

Exercise Regularly

Regular physical activity can increase your energy levels. It also improves circulation, boosts your mood, and helps you sleep better. Even just a 30-minute walk can make a difference!

Prioritize Sleep

Quality sleep is crucial. Aim for 7-9 hours per night. Establish a regular sleep schedule, create a restful (aka a cool, dark, and quiet) environment, and limit screen time before bed.

 Manage Stress

Chronic stress drains energy. Incorporate stress-relieving practices like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine.

 Personalize Your Approach with DNA Insights

Understanding your nutrigenomic profile can offer insights into how your body responds to different foods, exercise, and stress. This allows you to change your lifestyle choices for optimal energy levels.
