If you’ve been trying to find a solution to chronic low energy, fatigue, exhaustion, tiredness, brain fog, and other symptoms, but nothing you’ve tried has worked well enough ...

... or you get temporary improvements and then relapse ...

... then you might be stuck in what I call the "Low Energy Loop".

Symptoms of the "Low Energy Loop"

Here are some of the symptoms of the "Low Energy Loop":

• You often have to push yourself to keep moving through your day.
• You might depend on coffee to function.
• You feel “tired but wired”.
• You wake up tired or exhausted three or more times per week even though you're getting at least seven hours of sleep at night.
• You feel sleepy or exhausted in the late morning and/or late afternoon, but you may get a second wind in the evening that makes it hard to get to sleep.
• Sometimes you are too tired to exercise, or when you do exercise you are excessively tired for several days afterward.
• You frequently feel too tired to socialize, and you might find yourself turning down or canceling plans with friends, family, or other social opportunities.
• You often struggle to focus or think clearly when you need to, and your memory isn't what it used to be.
• You often feel a negative mood or emotions in a way that doesn’t feel like your usual self, possibly including being more irritable and critical of yourself and others, sometimes over the smallest things, and then feeling terrible about it afterward?
• You feel emotionally “flat” and find it difficult to experience joy or pleasure.
• You are losing your sex drive.
• You have other symptoms like hormone imbalances, “irritable bowel syndrome” or “leaky gut syndrome”, “brain fog”, insomnia, weakened immune system function, and more.
• Sometimes you start feeling better, but then as soon as you challenge yourself a little bit with more activity, or stop doing the things that make you feel better, your energy starts slipping and dipping again. That’s why it’s called the “Low Energy Loop”. It’s a cycle that keeps repeating itself.

And this could be having major impacts on you like …

• You are less physically fit and possibly gaining weight due to a decrease in exercise and other activities, and perhaps an increase in food cravings and snacking.
• You're doing less of your favorite activities or hobbies, or maybe you're not getting to do them at all.
• Your exhaustion might be damaging your relationship with your spouse or partner.
• You might be missing your children's or grandchildren’s ball games, recitals, or plays
• You might have even started to worry that you could develop a disease that takes you away from your children and grandchildren far too soon.
• Low energy could be reducing your performance and effectiveness in your work and might even be jeopardizing your reputation, your job, your business, and/or your finances.
• You might sometimes nod off at the wheel while driving, endangering your life, the lives of other people in your car, the lives of people who depend on you, and the lives of other people who are on the road when you are.
• You might have started to fear losing control of your life, as your once reliable body seems to have betrayed you.

Mistakes That Contribute to the "Low Energy Loop"

If this is happening, then I bet that you are making at least one of these mistakes …

• You’re eating according to a one-size-fits-all diet with certain rules (e.g. keto, vegan, carnivore, etc.), but it is the wrong type of diet for your metabolism at this time.
• When you take supplements you are not getting enough of some nutrients, and you are getting too much of others, creating nutrient imbalances or even nutrient toxicity.
• You are using protocols for things like gut health or detoxification, but you might need to first address "upstream" factors, or the protocols do not include adequate preparation or are being used in the wrong sequence, so results are only temporary, and symptoms return, or perhaps symptoms worsen in the process.

Why What You've Been Doing Has Not Worked Well Enough

In order to fix your low energy (and other symptoms or health challenges), I bet you have tried one or more of the following:

• You have run lab tests on things like standard blood markers, hormones, gastrointestinal function, toxic load, and perhaps Lyme disease, but nobody has helped you fully identify all of the important causes of your situation, so you don’t really know with certainty what exactly is going on with your body or what the next step should be.
• You have used supplements or other strategies for general nutrition, adrenal and thyroid function, eliminating SIBO or Candida or parasites, detoxing heavy metals or mold, resolving Lyme disease, etc, but something important is missing from the approach.
• You have joined courses or group programs, but they use rigid one-size-fits-all protocols and do not satisfactorily answer your questions. You have worked with functional medicine practitioners, but they have incomplete models of health, incomplete assessment processes, and incomplete toolsets that don't quite get the job done.
• You may also have spent a lot of time trying to figure things out on your own with free online information as you continue to search for answers, and this typically just sends you down more rabbit holes of trial and error and guesswork.

But it’s not working well enough. And it’s costing you a fortune in time, money, suffering, and lost opportunities.

If you've been struggling with this, the reason you’ve been stuck is that you don't know enough about your root causes and bio-individuality to know enough about what is going on in your body, or you have been implementing things in the wrong sequence, or you have been using methods that are not strong enough, or all of the above.

And I recommend that you do not let this continue any longer because things can suddenly go from bad to worse without warning and become much harder to resolve.

I've been through all of this myself and resolved it, and I consistently resolve it for my clients, even though each of them is unique. I can help you get unstuck so that you can regain your vitality and feel fully alive again.
