In this episode I discuss 10 reasons you may be experiencing fatigue:
1. Lack of Sleep: Not getting enough sleep or poor-quality sleep can leave you feeling tired and sluggish throughout the day.
2. Poor Diet: Consuming a diet that lacks proper nutrients, vitamins, and minerals can result in fatigue.
3. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause dehydration, leading to feelings of fatigue.
4. Stress: Chronic stress can cause fatigue by overworking the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing stress hormones.
5. Lack of Exercise: Not getting enough physical activity can lead to a lack of energy and feelings of fatigue.
6. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as anemia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia, can cause fatigue.
7. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and antihistamines, can cause drowsiness and fatigue as a side effect.
8. Mental Health Conditions: Conditions such as depression and anxiety can cause fatigue and feelings of low energy.
9. Chronic Fatigue: Chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition that causes extreme fatigue that doesn't improve with rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity.
10. Poor Sleep Habits: Staying up late, sleeping irregularly or not sticking to a consistent sleep schedule can disrupt your circadian rhythm, leaving you feeling fatigued during the day.
