one of the biggest problems in

healthcare is the lack of evaluation so

evaluation is finding the root cause of

something it’s investigating to find the

true thing that caused something so i’m

going to take in this video just one

symptom and pull the string and show you

what i do because every time you treat a

symptom you camouflage the symptom and

you perpetuate the problem all right

let’s just take fatigue for example

we’re going to take that as a symptom or

a clue and go deeper

now

the first thing i do is i find out when

did it start and then what happened just

before you start getting tired to get a

clue to find out what’s causing it

there’s two main situations with

sleeping i’m sorry with fatigue number

one is

you’re not sleeping and you’re tired or

you are sleeping but you’re still tired

so i guess one of the biggest causes of

fatigue is you’re not

sleeping but but that’s a symptom again

of something else so we don’t want to

treat it we don’t want to treat this

with five hour energy drink or treat

this with a sleeping pill we want to

find out what’s really behind it so i’m

going to show you some of the potential

causes of not sleeping number one it

could be stress it could be your

adrenals are burnt out and you’re stuck

in stress because you’ve been pushing

pushing pushing it could be that you

stopped smoking 20 years ago and you

were so dependent on the nicotine that

the stopping of smoking created stress

in the heart because nicotine

artificially opened up the coronary

artery to the heart and then you

actually relaxed and you actually can

breathe better so when you smoke for

many years and you stop you could

actually have a problem with your heart

being tired because it’s has never

adapted so i have a lot of people that

when they stop smoking after that they

were just stuck in stress and they were

tired and they couldn’t sleep because of

that one point

okay so it could be a physical reason

maybe you have pain in your back maybe

you have a pain in your neck and you

can’t get comfortable what if it’s a hot

flash that could be it too or maybe it’s

your sinuses that’s called sleep apnea

right and they label and then they treat

it but what causes the sinus let’s go a

little deeper with sinus what causes

sinus well

what causes the thickened mucous

membranes could be a lack of vitamin a

right we could have lack of vitamin a

but it could be you don’t have enough

bile from your gallbladder to digest the

vitamin a and that’s why you’re not

absorbing it from the food that you’re

eating and by the way kale shake is high

in vitamin a and that’s why it helps the

sinuses or it could be the adrenals are

so stressed that

that high level of a cortisol

could cause

atrophy of certain nerves in the back of

the neck that go to the mucous membranes

and swell swell up to sinuses so a lot

of people with adrenal problems end up

with sinus problems because the

treatment for sinuses are a lot of times

steroids because steroids are adrenal

hormones so that’s another little

causation it could be allergies but

again what causes allergies a weak

adrenal so we’re just trying to pull a

string it could be a nutritional factor

it could be low vitamin b

could be low

potassium all right because maybe your

diet is not high enough in potassium

because you’re not eating enough

vegetables or it could be too much sugar

that’s pulling out the potassium so

we’ve got to look at both angles could

be lack of calcium

because maybe you’re eating too much

junk food and you’re not able to pull it

because junk foods deplete depletes

calcium and b vitamins so a lot of

breads pasta cereal crackers biscuits

and waffles and pancakes can deplete the

b vitamins that are supposed to be

retained in the body and ending up with

a low vitamin b and then what happens is

that you basically

you have nightmares and you can’t sleep

so b vitamins help you sleep

it could be junk food it could be

alcohol you know these are just factors

that i’m always looking at

it could be environmental where your bed

is just not flat enough and it kind of

sags and you need a new bed or it could

be noise because your husband snores

or what about your dog do you sleep with

your dog some patients sleep with their

dog i’m like that’s not going to work

because the dog’s fidgeting all night

long or maybe you work third shift okay

another causation

or maybe you’re only getting four hours

of sleep so these are things that we

have to pull a string and find out

what’s behind it okay but let’s say for

example you are sleeping and you’re

still tired that could be a thyroid

problem why

we got to find out why it could be high

estrogen levels be coming from a heavy

period a fibroid maybe you’re eating too

much soy in your diet

or you just got pregnant and you spike

the estrogen and then the thyroid became

a problem and then you couldn’t sleep so

these are things that you want to dig

deeper

it could also be a liver did you realize

that your thyroid is dependent on the

liver and it converts the thyroid

hormones through the gallbladder so

without a good liver a good gallbladder

if you have it removed you can’t convert

those thyroid hormones they’re there

thereby creating a fatigue in your body

so these are things that are deeper than

the superficial or it could be a virus

that comes out of remission

so any time the immune system goes down

because of stress you know a loss of a

loved one boom immune system goes down

and you get sick old viruses can come

out of remission and it could make you

tired

i have people that are in chronic like

mono

which is epstein-barr virus and they’re

always tired because of

because the low adrenal because they’re

in a stressful environment i’ve also had

people tired because they had an old

head injury and ever since that injury

they’ve been tired in their head

okay it could be also the our light

sleeper

because the adrenals are so stressed out

your body can’t get into the lower

levels and can’t relax all right these

are all

deeper levels so number one

never accept

um a symptom as being a problem okay

differentiate symptoms from problems

cause and effect

and always ask why

and that way you can really get to the

bottom of it i hope this helped i’ll see

you in the next video
