Maximizing Your Energy - Naturally!
ANYONE? 
Drowsy, Weak?
Apathetic, Lack of motivation?
Cannot stay awake?
Brain fog or lack of focus?
Take the fatigue questionnaire .
Here are some of the underlying causes of fatigue:
AIDS, Cancer, Liver cirrhosis, Low thyroid, Low adrenals, Infection, Lyme disease, Malnutrition, Malabsorbtion , Rheumatoid arthritis, Anemia, Depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Food Intolerances, Heart failure, Renal failure, Toxicity , Hormones imbalance, Drug side effects (561 of them), Drug interactions (358 of them)
Testing may be necessary to identify the underlying causes affecting your healthy energy levels:
 Blood, urine, hormone, adrenal, thyroid, neurotransmitter (brain) testing, stool analysis, food intolerance , heavy metal , vitamin/mineral status, genetic testing .
Let's talk about the 4 most common causes of FATIGUE -
1. SLEEP - deep sleep is VITAL to our health. Poor sleep can be caused by adrenal ( STRESS ), Hormone imbalance, obesity , brain chemistry imbalance , environmental factors.
2. HORMONES - deficiency in testosterone or progesterone , thyroid imbalance, adrenal imbalance. Hormones MUST be in balance to optimize your energy level.
3. INFECTION - many times fatigue is linked to some underlying infection - lyme, epstein barr, CMV. Candida and parasites are  infections in the gastrointestinal tract. The body has to be made strong enough to fight these infections, AND help with medicinal herbs, high potency Vitamin C IV's can help.
4. NUTRITION - what we putting in our mouth is PARAMOUNT to our health. Also, what are we NOT eating (vegetables, vitamins, fish oil). Our body regenerates itself in 7 years, so it is never to late to  start a new way of eating. Try eating 80% vegetables, 25% protein, 5% fruit, whole grains. Water intake should equal half your weight, in ounces( 150lb woman needs 75 ounces of water). Nutritional counseling may be needed here.
