Do you struggle with that 3:00 PM mid-afternoon fatigue? You’re not alone. So many of us deal with this day after day, and it’s become such a big part of our lives. When you’re constantly pushing yourself to get through your day, you might want to ask yourself: “Why?”
If our energized state fuels our day and helps us accomplish our goals, then what’s the real impact on our quality of life when we lack the energy to do what truly matters to us?
Does fatigue drive your need to consume more coffee, sweets, energy drinks, or even seek more rest time? Do any of these really solve the problem?
Is it what we eat? Is our sleep quality affecting our day? Or is stress burning us out? Whatever the reason, we need to find the root cause. There are many solutions out there in the health and nutrition industry, but without understanding why we’re tired, we’re just treating the symptoms.
There’s more to it than what we’ve been told. Diabetics understand this well—our blood sugar levels directly affect our energy, and everything we consume impacts those levels, for better or worse.
What we eat is just one part of the equation; the other part is how well our bodies convert that food into usable energy.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the brightness or dullness in your eyes is considered a clear indicator of your energy levels. You can see this vitality in children, whose bright, lively eyes reflect their energy. But as we grow older, that brightness tends to fade, signaling a decline in energy and overall health. When symptoms like eye fatigue, dryness, or itchiness arise, TCM suggests that the liver may be the root cause, as the eyes reflect its vitality.
So, before we can resolve this eye/liver fatigue, we need to determine if the liver is weak, stressed, or toxic. Through a series of questions, we can identify the right foods and supplements that can help you achieve consistent, sustainable energy.
If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, eye strain, or just feeling less energetic than you’d like, it’s time to listen to what your body is saying. Addressing the root cause could be the key to unlocking your full potential for energy and vitality.
Let’s take that next step together. Through a personalized assessment, we can find the foods and supplements that best support you.
