The real reasons you are always tired and what to do about it!!!
It’s no secret that so many people are constantly feeling tired, overwhelmed, stressed, and burned out. I would also say that along those lines people are constantly looking for answers as to why they are feeling a certain way and cannot seem to get a grip on what to do.
The typical culprits that come to mind for lack of energy can be things such as adrenal fatigue, thyroid function, being overwhelmed and your age. Feeling consistently drained and tired can lead to things such as depression, anxiety, weight gain, poor immune function, stress and even addiction.
What if I told you that what you have been told all along is wrong about why we are feeling chronically tired, burned out and fatigued?
What if I also told you that today’s episode will help provide you with some of the answers that you have been looking for and also give you a path forward to master your energy so that you don’t feel so exhausted all of the time.
My guest today is Dr. Steven Gundry MD is one of the world’s top cardiothoracic surgeons and a pioneer in nutrition, as well as medical director at The International Heart and Lung Institute Center for Restorative Medicine. He has spent the last two decades studying the microbiome and now helps patients use diet and nutrition as a key form of treatment. He is author of many New York times best selling books including The Plant Paradox, and his new book The Energy Paradox: What to Do When Your Get-Up-and-Go Has Got Up and Gone is set to be released tomorrow and is an incredible read and I think you all will enjoy it as well.
We certainly take a deep dive into his latest book and the story behind why he wrote it, which I believe is something many will relate to. Dr Gundry and I also cover what is at the root cause is of things like fatigue and burn out. He shares the role that inflammation plays into all of this and how it’s related to gut health. He talks about the warning signs that is something off with your health and things you can do to boost your immunity and so much more!

Takeaways:
Chronic inflammation is coming from a leaky gut and a microbiome.
Fatigue or tiredness, or change in mood is actually one of the most important warning signs our body gives us that something's amiss.
All disease begins in the gut.
When we fix people's leaky gut and stop the inflammation, just the adrenal fatigue goes away.
Mitochondria are these little organelles that are in most of our cells that are the energy producing organelles.
When you move your muscles, your muscles make these really cool hormones that are called Myo-kinds, and these actually tell your brain to build brain cells.
Postbiotics turbocharge mitochondria.
80%+ of diets fail, and it is not a sustainable program.
