ENERGY FOR LIFE
A constant feeling of fatigue can be due to various factors. An overloaded liver, viral infection,
adrenal fatigue, low thyroid function, unstable blood sugars and insomnia are some of the
more common causes.
1. CORTISOL is a hormone produced by your adrenal gland. It peaks when you get up in the
morning and goes down during the day. Constant high stress levels can deplete your adrenals and
result in adrenal fatigue (low or erratic cortisol levels).
2. THE THYROID gland regulates your energy metabolism. Subclinical low thyroid function affects
your energy levels, temperature regulation, as well as weight. Inquire about our simple thyroid test.
3. BLOOD SUGAR levels can also affect energy levels. You can easily regulate them through diet
and specific nutrients that help stabilise them throughout the day.
4. SLEEP is important to regenerate and recharge. If sleep doesn’t reach the restorative phase
(deep sleep) your immune system, brain and other organs begin to suffer resulting in lowered
immunity, attention and energy. There are different types of insomnia that interfere with sleep, but
these can be identified and resolved.

OPENING HOURS

Create energy by expending energy
Exercise although at times tiring, also helps to strengthen
your muscles, stimulate circulation and improve mental
wellbeing.

Eat light to feel light
Eating palm sized portions of foods (packed with vitamins,
minerals) at regular intervals can help to stabilize energy
levels and won’t weigh you down.

Keep Hydrated for your mind
Our bodies are mostly made up of water. It is vital for the
proper function of every cell and organ (including the
brain).

Preserve your precious energy
Make sure you rest enough to recharge your battery. Good
sleep routines and power naps can make a difference on
how you cope with everyday stress.

Take deep breaths
Shallow breathing can make you feel more tired and sleepy.
Breathing deeper into your chest allows more oxygen to get
in. Your brain and muscle rely on adequate oxygen to
function well.
