i would say out of all the things that

i’m expert in i think the number one

thing is

in fatigue

that’s definitely a certification that

you can’t get from any university you

have to get it from the school of hard

knocks

but i personally have been so tired for

so many years and then overcame that

fatigue and then helped tens of

thousands of people

so i’m going to tell you right now i am

going to show you how to get your energy

back

i was doing all the wrong things i was

trying to take all these pills and

vitamins but there was something else

underneath my fatigue that i was missing

and until years later when i finally

figured it out it was like i took a

helmet off my head and i finally woke up

so let’s talk about the seven reasons

why

you’re tired the first reason is adrenal

fatigue

you have too much cortisol

what’s interesting about cortisol

it’s a stress hormone that adapts your

body to stress and under stress

your body switches to

running on glucose despite what your

diet is if you have too much stress your

body is going to basically run on

glucose this is why there’s another name

for cortisol

glucocorticoid okay it’s a

glucocorticoid it’s a glucose type

hormone

meant for short-term energy it’s

supposed to give you energy

but it ends up making you tired because

it’s going to mobilize a lot of glucose

that’s stored in your liver and it’s

also going to make glucose out of

protein and fat that’s called

gluconeogenesis

so here you are having all this glucose

flowing through your bloodstream and

then your blood sugar is going to

increase and then insulin is going to

come in there and push it down so when

you go through chronic stress that’s

when things start to go downhill and all

that glucose will just make you

thoroughly exhausted all right so the

more stress you have

the more your body runs on sugar now

there’s a little gland in the brain

called

amygdala and it’s very similar to the

adrenal glands on top of the kidney

but it works on your brain in other

words it addresses

a certain type of stress

in your brain and that specific stress

is a fear

type stress it’s a fear response

so amygdala has everything to do with

different shades of fear

whether it’s a very high level fear like

you’re shy

to a major

panic attack or you’re terrified

or right in the middle you have anxiety

or you have worry

all those are fear states

and so anytime you have a fear state the

amygdala is involved and it’s going to

affect a lot of different

biological processes like your ability

to sleep

like your ability to get into a calm

state and anything that’s related to

fear is going to get you to avoid that

fear you probably heard of the saying um

you must face your fears right well when

you face your fears they no longer are

fierce because fear is about avoiding

something and as soon as you don’t avoid

it and you face it

you don’t have it anymore but the best

remedies

for an adrenal stress situation

or an overactive amygdala would be to

take

vitamin b1 okay good amounts of b1 in

the form of nutritional yeast that is

going to make you feel very calm now

some other things you can do is take

ashwagandha i have some more information

on that in a link down below but

ashwagandha is an adapted gym it

increases your tolerance to stress

there’s many other herbs that are

adaptogens but ashwagandha is one of the

top herbs and then we have sleep more

sleep better control over your stress

better adrenal function and i will get

to sleep in a second

but the last thing i want to mention is

physical work

that’s a very great therapy for stress

like any physical work that you can

start doing

it will really help you release that

stress now exercise is okay

but physical work is a lot better

because physical work and also exercise

helps to deplete that stress energy that

tends to build up that prevents you from

sleeping all right number two

sleep okay poor sleep will make you

tired and many times you can’t sleep

because you have high cortisol because

you’re stressed especially if it’s

between 12 midnight and 2 o’clock in the

middle of the night that is when you’re

supposed to have the lowest amount of

cortisol but

if your adrenals are overactive that’s

the time that you’re most awake and i

had a problem with that for years

until i figure things out now

one thing about sleep there’s a sleep

hormone called melatonin i recently did

a very interesting video on melatonin

because there’s two types of melatonin

there is one type that’s in your

bloodstream and in the pineal gland but

there’s another type of melatonin that

is in all of the your cells it’s deep in

the cells it’s called a subcellular

melatonin and the way that you increase

that melatonin is through infrared did

you realize that over 50 of the sun rays

are infrared

so that infrared is actually increasing

melatonin in all of your body’s cells

which will greatly help your sleep

but another purpose of melatonin is to

act as a powerful antioxidant even more

powerful than glutathione in your liver

and so melatonin is really important in

countering

all the stress that we experience

and preventing a lot of oxidative damage

and free radical damage and so if you

can get out in the sun

definitely do that for a good period of

time

but if it’s winter and you can’t do that

you can also get infrared from a

fireplace or a campfire

or some candles

or red light therapy

but the sensation of infrared

is like the heat that you feel from the

sun

or from a fire or from a light

like incandescent light i’m not talking

about the

artificial lights that they have now

like from your computer and your cell

phone which will all counter the

infrared uh wavelength and deplete your

melatonin so that’s probably one of the

reasons why people have a hard time

sleeping is they’re sitting in front of

the computer all day long and they can’t

seem to recharge the melatonin now the

other thing i’m going to recommend for

sleep which is a really great protocol

which i use on my body is i take

four of my sleep aid okay right before

bed about 20 minutes and three of my d3

and k2

that seems to work very effectively to

get into a really nice deep delta wave

sleep and it’s allowed me to get like

even up to nine hours of sleep so i will

use that when i need to sleep a little

bit longer

but presently my sleep cycles are in

pretty good shape vitamin d3 helps to

reset the sleep centers it’s great for

jet lag and it’s very very important in

sleep cycles and so taking vitamin d

right before you go to bed is actually

going to help you sleep it’s not going

to wake you up all right number three

post viral syndrome okay

so let’s just say you just had coped or

some type of viral flu and now you have

this residual fatigue you have chronic

fatigue syndrome now the medical term

for this it’s called myalgic and

cephalomyelitis now what does that mean

that’s a fancy term for you have

a combination of muscle pain and

inflammation and soreness with

inflammation of your brain causing

cognitive deficits as well as fatigue

now that medical condition

mimics

the symptoms

of a b1 deficiency as well as a b3

deficiency so really what i think is

going on is you have this

inflammatory immune response

and it’s creating massive oxidation

massive free radical damage

and you’re going into this infection

with an already empty bucket of b

vitamins and the residual fatigue that

you have from this infection is really a

vitamin deficiency that’s what it is

primarily vitamin b1

but also the other b vitamins as well as

other nutrients as well and so if you

just had an infection

and you start taking nutritional yeast

and or b1 try to find a natural source

and you also took

vitamin d3

with zinc

okay you’re going to start to have more

energy there’s some other things that

you can take too as powerful

antioxidants like nac

and

not taking a melatonin but being exposed

to the infrared which naturally

increases melatonin which i already

mentioned is a very powerful antioxidant

probably even more powerful

than glutathione now the other point i

want to bring up about viruses

is that when you have

existing viruses that are dormant in

your body they’re called latent viruses

okay so you had an infection let’s say

in high school like epstein-barr virus

and then 20 years later it comes out of

remission

it usually comes out of remission when

you experience stress because

cortisol

is an immune

suppressive

hormone

so it actually lowers your immune system

this is why a lot of people are on

prednisone for all sorts of infections

because it gets because it gets rid of

the symptoms but what it’s really doing

it’s wiping out the inflammation but

it’s also wiping out the entire immune

response

so when you have high levels of cortisol

your immune system temporarily goes to

sleep

and the door opens up for these viruses

to come out and kick you when you’re

down

so

if you have any type of post-viral

symptoms whether it’s fatigue or

whatever

do whatever you can to find the cause of

your stress

and try to get rid of it because

it’s going to be really hard to get rid

of that fatigue if you still have the

stress situation that’s unresolved and

unfortunately

losses can be a part of that as well

it’s called bereavement when you go

through losses the cortisol increases

the stress increases and the viruses can

come out and create all sorts of

problems as well so in that case if you

have that situation definitely follow

the things that i’m talking about

getting more sleep getting more

nutrition getting ir

taking certain nutrients et cetera all

right

another uh cause of fatigue

is having lyme

lyme disease and that comes from

a spirochite which is a type of bacteria

that can go in your body and create an

immune reaction

all the symptoms from lyme are actually

coming from your own

immune system trying to kill off

this microbe but it can’t find it so

i recommend doing a natural type

antibiotic and that would be something

like oregano

garlic

thyme

sage

things that are natural that can help

boost your immune system but without the

side effects number five

insulin resistance okay if you’re in a

high carb diet realize that your brain

is going to be slightly more unconscious

because that’s what carbs do they make

your brain go to sleep so you’re going

to definitely need a nap after you eat

when you go on a low carb diet

it actually wakes up your brain you

actually become more conscious you are

running your brain on ketones which is a

preferred fuel and so if you haven’t

already

gone on a ketogenic diet within a minute

of fasting that could create the biggest

effect on your energy more than anything

and i did put a link down below for

those of you that are new to that topic

all right number six

low stomach acids if you don’t have

stomach acid um especially if you as you

get older and you lose the acidity in

your stomach you’re not going to be able

to absorb b12 you’re not going to be

able to absorb iron too well both of

those conditions can cause anemia you’re

not going to be able to break down

protein too well that can cause fatigue

you’re going to be more susceptible to

getting sibo small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth that can make you tired not

to mention all the digestive problems

that you’re going to have

those can make you tired as well and the

simple remedy is a combination of apple

cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride

but just realize that

you need to take a lot of it in the

beginning you may need to take five to

six to seven tablets right before you

eat

for

some weeks

before you really start to turn things

around because betaine hydrochloride is

not a very concentrated amount of

hydrochloric acid it’s a very weak

type of acid that takes wild to build up

all right and the last point i’m going

to bring up is

vitamin deficiencies that can create

fatigue it’s not as common

but it can create fatigue and i just

mentioned the b12 i just mentioned the

iron but i didn’t mention potassium

in all of your cells you have a sodium

potassium pump

that generates electrical energy for

your cells so

you need a lot of potassium to generate

that energy it’s very easy to get sodium

but it’s more difficult to get potassium

and the way you get that is through

large amounts of

salads that’s right that can give you a

lot of energy so that’s something if you

haven’t done before you might want to

start increasing more salad to increase

more potassium as well as the next

mineral which is also

involved in energy and atp which is

magnesium so you can get a lot of

magnesium and potassium from having

large salads i notice on the days that i

don’t have a big salad i’m a little more

tired now out of all the things you can

do

the most important thing is to get your

diet straightened down i didn’t know

that

in the past and so i was trying to take

all these vitamins and do all these

different things on top of eating too

many carbs it never worked so you need

to get on keto and do intermittent

fasting as a priority number two you

want to work on your stress so you can

then sleep that’s number two because

they are connected and then number three

many times there could be some

underlying residue from some post

infection

or you have this latent virus that is

coming out of remission in which case

you need to take more b1 d3

zinc and some of the other things that i

recommend all right if you have not seen

my video on melatonin very important
