Description

As discussed before, fatigue is a broad topic with many multifaceted causes.  I wish there were a magic pill that would help fatigue and was free from side effects or dependency, but there is not.  Fatigue is commonplace, but a complicated symptom to address due to the many contributing factors.  
In our practice, the majority patients complaining about fatigue are relatively healthy and have no disease states, which is why their doctor has a hard time treating them.  Unfortunately, there is no treatment specifically for generalized fatigue.  
In our practice, a typical triad of symptoms we see with almost every patient is the following:

Low energy
Stressed
Weight gain (especially in the stomach)

From our experience treating patients for the last 14 years, we wanted to share some supplements ideas that we have had success with increasing energy. Below is just a summary of some supplement ideas that have helped our patients.  There are many other possibilities, and each practitioner has their preferred options.  This information is not set in stone, but just some simple ideas that might be helpful to you.  Something to also keep in mind, what works for one person, may or may not work from someone else.  
Liver/Insulin/Blood Sugar Support:
Balancing blood sugar and improving insulin status will your energy.   The better interaction between your liver, insulin, blood sugar, and cortisol, the better your energy and metabolism will be.  The KCCP (keto-carb-cycling program) helps to balance the insulin/glucose/cortisol roller coaster.  
Supplements:

Metabolic Xtra
ChromeMate GTF
Lipoic Acid Supreme
Liver GI Detox
Methyl B12 

Adrenal Support:     

Adrenal support can also help improve energy and reduce fatigue over time.  Restoring your adrenals helps to reestablish the stress response and HPA Axis, which is the brain / adrenal connection.  Note: be careful with products containing glandulars, as they are not always needed.  However, they can be helpful in the right situation.

Supplements:

Cortico B5-B6 (Vitamin B5)

Do you feel like a “hot hormonal mess”? You are not alone. Many of us are told we are healthy but don’t feel great. You feel tired, your sex drive has disappeared and you are frustrated with your weight, despite a healthy diet and exercise. At night you are exhausted, but your sleep quality is poor from waking up throughout the night. Needless to say, you’re irritable and your patience is short, which makes you feel guilty for overreacting. It is not your fault! These are all signs of hormone-imbalances. Our hormones can affect our mood, weight, energy, sleep, libido, memory, hair, skin and even promote disease if they are out of balance. Dr. Robert Maki and Dr. Valorie Davidson are Naturopathic Physicians and graduates of Bastyr University. They specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), Functional Medicine and are the co-hosts of The Progress Your Health Podcast. This podcast is intended to educate listeners about hormonal conditions, such as hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s, adrenal fatigue, PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause and low testosterone to name a few. The Progress Your Health Podcast will focus on cutting edge information and therapies to help you lose weight, balance hormones and age gracefully. It is Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson’s mission to motivate, educate and empower you to take your health to the next level.
