Commonly,
when you reach a state in which you're not refreshed by rest or sleep, you're
said to suffer from chronic fatigue. Exhaustion sets in after chronic fatigue
is entrenched and you become unable to rally. By that time you may not be able
to sleep, or conversely, not able to stop sleeping. Even the smallest effort may
leave you depleted and all facets of your life suffer. You're on a downward slide,
you feel yourself slipping and can't stop, no matter how hard you try. First your
work and relationships are damaged, now your self esteem is sinking. Depression
lurks around the corner.
There is hope. This is
physiological, it isn't you. You need scheduled rest times, of course, and functional foods
with the right nutrients. Restorative herbs will gradually improve your endurance.
We will look at the nutritional state of your adrenals
and nourish them if necessary. The adrenal glands are responsible for handling
stress and the "fight or flight" response. If stress has been unrelenting
in your life, over time your adrenals become overworked and depleted. Some neurotransmitters
may be inadequate as well. After a detailed evaluation, together we will design
a specific food and lifestyle plan that will regenerate your energy and joy of
being.
