Boost Your Energy
Dr Sandra Cabot and naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how to boost your energy. Fatigue may be a symptom of an underlying disorder, such as iron deficiency, viral infections, thyroid problems, diabetes, heart or lung disorders to name a few. However, most people complaining of fatigue have none of these problems and all investigations are normal. In this situation, the cause is likely to be related to lifestyle factors, including a poor diet, a toxic liver and stress. Other possibilities include chronic fatigue syndrome or adrenal exhaustion.

Hi Barb,
The most important thing for you to do is to follow a low carb anti-inflammatory style diet, avoiding processed foods, take away, bread, pasta, lollies etc and eating a diet consisting mainly of protein (fish, chicken, beef) and non-starchy vegetables (leafy greens, cauliflower, etc) and healthy fats (olives, nuts, seeds). This will help to reduce pain and inflammation and help with weight loss which will help your other problems also.
