The Real Reason Why You Are TIRED All the Time

Let’s talk about fatigue—the root cause and how to fix it.

It all starts with your mitochondria. The mitochondria are the energy factories deep inside your cells that make ATP. ATP is the energy of the body.

Certain foods contribute to the energy-making process of the body more than other foods. It’s almost impossible to extract energy from ultra-processed foods.

Important nutrients to support energy include:

• Vitamin B1

• Vitamin B2

• Vitamin B3

• Folic acid

• Vitamin B12

• Magnesium

• Manganese

• Selenium

• Vitamin C

• Coenzyme Q10

A healthy person makes a massive amount of ATP. You generate more ATP when you exercise, but ATP doesn’t get stored. Your body can either store sugar or fat as fuel. Fat is a much more efficient fuel source than sugar.

When you go on a low-carb diet and get into ketosis, you become fat-adapted. Once you’re fat-adapted, you can burn fat as fuel a lot easier. This is why the keto diet, with a lot of nutrient-dense foods, is the best diet to increase energy.

Exercise is the number one way to produce more mitochondria and boost your energy. This is just one more reason to exercise consistently.

Other things to add to increase your energy and get rid of fatigue:

• Intermittent fasting

• Cold therapy

• Phytonutrients

Things to avoid to help support healthy energy levels:

• Refined sugar and carbohydrates

• Stress

• Heavy metals

• Smoking

• Alcohol
