Low Energy

Low energy and fatigue are probably two of the most common reasons for clients to visit a nutritionist at The Nutritional Therapy Clinic. There are many underlying health problems that can be associated with low energy levels. Common causes of low energy and fatigue are:

• An imbalance in blood sugar
• Food intolerances
• Nutrient deficiency
• Toxins or chemicals in the body
• Constipation
• Hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid)
• Depression
• Malabsorption (not absorbing the goodness out of your food)
• Glandular fever
• Low blood pressure
• High blood pressure
• Candida (Yeast infection)
• Poor diet
• Poor adrenal function (the gland that controls our stress hormones)
• Stress
• Insomnia
• High caffeine consumption

Often tiredness and lethargy can simply be caused by the wrong food and drink choices, which results in your body getting insufficient nutrition. We reach for coffee or sugary drinks to give us an instant energy boost, but in the long term they just make matters worse.

Our nutritionists at the clinic, can put together a diet plan, based on the best nutrition for you, which is individually designed for you and your lifestyle, This will help to put your body back into nutritional balance. Depending on your overall health, we may recommend some simple tests to rule out any of the above health problems.

You will be amazed at how quickly some simple changes to your diet can affect your energy levels helping you to look forward to waking up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever the day may bring.
