Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 Fatigue you can’t shake isn’t a sign of aging or being busy. It’s not a natural part of the human experience, and it doesn’t have to be lived with.

#2 Fatigue is a very common symptom among modern patients. It is the result of a lack of energy, and it can dull the mind and dampen the mood. It is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as malaise, that are also common symptoms of illness.

#3 Despite living in a time when we are eating more energy-dense fuel than ever before, we are feeling more energy deprived than ever. We’re living a much less physically demanding lifestyle than our ancestors, yet we’re feeling physically drained.

#4 Modern medicine has a difficult time treating symptoms that are not caused by a physical illness. This is because doctors are often forced to see a large number of patients, and they are advised to come back when things are bad enough to warrant medication or surgery.
