This course is imperative to overcoming fatigue.
The conventional diagnosis of fatigue severely lacks in-depth testing methods. Not to mention, you have no way of gauging whether (or not) you’re improving. In medical settings, fatigue is typically measured in terms of resolution – either you’re fatigued or you’re not fatigued.
Increasing your energy progresses slowly. Much like overcoming any illness/injury, there are markers along the way that can help measure your progress. In this course, I’m going to help you track your energy levels over time. That way, you’ll know exactly what’s working (and what isn’t).
The effect food has on your energy levels is rarely (if ever) considered.
If you are eating foods that your body does not tolerate, your blood sugar will become imbalanced. And when your blood sugar becomes imbalanced, fatigue is the first symptom you experience.
Why?
Each of you has evolved from a unique and (hopefully) diverse genetic background. The foods your ancestors had access to are likely different than the foods my ancestors had access to. Here’s an example to better illustrate my point:
If your ancestors were the First Nations People of North America, your genetics have adapted incredibly well to a very low carbohydrate diet. This occurred because your ancestors had very little access to carbohydrates. Their bodies adapted to high-fat diets. These genetic adaptations have been passed on to you.
In contrast, if your ancestors came from Eastern Africa, they would have had access to a wide variety of starchy root vegetables (carbohydrates). If these are your ancestors, you’ll likely have the genes capable of handling plenty of carbohydrates in your diet.
If you eat foods that your body has not adapted to eat, you’re going to experience an imbalance in your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is imbalanced, you’re going to experience fatigue. Balancing your blood sugar needs to be the first step taken to overcome fatigue. And the best way to do this is to determine exactly which foods your body does and does not tolerate!
Do you have blood sugar irregularities?
Don’t think you have a blood sugar imbalance?
Consider the following (alarming) statistics:
- In the United States, nearly 10% of the population has diabetes. That’s more than 30 million people!
- It is estimated that nearly half of the American population has a blood sugar imbalance severe enough to be classified as pre-diabetes. If left untreated, prediabetes will develop into diabetes.
- Fatigue is the most common symptom in people with diabetes or blood sugar irregularities.
Even if your doctor has told you that your blood sugar looks fine, it’s probably not! I’ll explain why in a later lesson.
What this course will do for you
This course will help you identify:
- If you have a blood sugar imbalance.
- What foods contribute to your blood sugar imbalance.
- The ideal diet for you that balances your blood sugar and gives you lots of energy.
With these three takeaways, you’ll be well on your way to overcoming fatigue.
