Why am I so tired?

5 Easy Energy Builders

We often hear people say that they wish they had more time in the day, and more energy to get through it. Many of us are experiencing burnout from overloading with caffeine and sugary energy drinks. We might find that the extra cup of coffee just doesn't affect us anymore and even leaves us more tired. 

Some of the most common reasons we experience fatigue are a lack of proper nutrition or hydration, inconsistent sleep patterns, adrenal fatigue, and overwhelm.

We've been there and we hear you!
Here are some healthy and sustainable energy boosters
​that will give you the energy you need to thrive! 

1. Switching to an all organic lifestyle
   Non-organic, conventional foods have chemical pesticides such as glyphosate, that build up in the body and cause fatigue, pain, and sluggishness. The "big O" Organic produce can be a bit more expensive indeed. We recommend finding local farms that may not have the FDA certified label but practice organic farming. Ask questions and build relationships with the people you shop from. Google search different farms to find which ones have sustainable practices.

2. Apple in the morning
   The nutrients and naturally occurring sugars in an apple have the same affect energetically on the body as a cup of coffee! What it doesn't have, however, is the acidity and the heavily addictive drug, caffeine. You know what they say, an apple a day.... 😉
3. Breath of fire
   This Kundalini practice is a great way to get your blood moving and heart rate up! Pair it will some cold therapy or a cold shower and you will experience an even more invigorating energetic boost!

4. Form a tea ritual
   Tea is a lot gentler on your system and provides amazing added benefits like polyphenols in green tea. 
   
   
5. Adding foods rich with vitamins B1, B2, B3, Manganese, & magnesium.

Foods like:

• GF whole grains such as quinoa, millet, oats, brown or white rice
• Legumes
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Dark leafy greens such as spinach, chard, & kale
• Avocado
• Asparagus

• Almonds
• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Peas
• Potatoes 
• Sea vegetables such as chlorella, spirulina, and seaweed (watch out for artificial dyes in pre-made seaweed salads)

Remember that it is ALL about sustainability when it comes to new rhythms and practices. Start with just one of these steps, adopt it for a couple of weeks until it becomes a habit, and then start to build upon these new habits. By incorporating these practices you will be nourishing your body and giving it the boost it needs to climb any mountain!

These changes aren't always the easiest to do on your own. We would love the opportunity to work with you on your health and wellness goals.
