fatigue. Additionally a poll taken showed that women ages 30-60 slept an average of six hours and 41 minutes on weeknights, which is lacking from the 7-9 hours of sleep recommended for adults. Sleep can be interrupted as a result of many factors including hormonal levels, daily stressors, or even poor sleep hygiene.


Tip: Keep a sleep journal and avoid screens at least 30 minutes prior to bed- time. Make sure to talk to your doctor about your sleep patterns before starting any herbal or supplemental therapy.

fatigue may seem counterintuitive, but the research has been consistent. A study performed by the University of Georgia found that sedentary people who regularly complain of fatigue can increase energy lev- els by 20% and decrease fatigue by 65% by engaging in regular, low intensity exercise.


Tip: If exercise is not a part of your normal regimen, start slow. Work your way up to 30 minutes, 4-5 times a week. Dur- ing the week, try adding a walk into your lunch break.


5. Thyroid Imbalance. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland responsible for producing hormones that control and


regulate your energy, metabolism, and many cellular functions of your body. One of the common thyroid disorders is hypothyroidism. Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, depres- sion, constipation, weight gain, dry skin, dry hair, irregular menstruation, low libido, intolerance to cold and enlarged thyroid. If you are experiencing the symptoms contact your doctor and ask for a comprehensive thyroid evaluation. Comprehensive thyroid tests include TSH, free T3, free T4, thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin antibody, reverse T3, and thyroid-specific nutrients.


You can see there are so many reasons


that you may have fatigue or daily low energy. Remember your body does not suffer from a coffee deficiency! It is always worth it to listen to your body and dig a little deeper to find the root cause of your imbalance.
