These two issues (fatigue and brain fog) seem to be troubling everyone nowadays.
I’ve had them, you had them or have them and in general very few people have experienced how having proper levels of energy and being able to think clearly actually is, which is obviously a problem.

These conditions are not normal.

Being lethargic 24/7 and needing 3 plus cups of coffee or even medication just to operate at a basic level, is a sign of poor health that needs to be addressed immediately.
The are of course multiple causes for these two issues but in this
thread, we will be addressing the most common ones.
So let’s begin.

Cause 1: Malnutrition

You can view malnutrition as minor and major deficiencies in things such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, but also in things such as protein, carbs and even fats.
Each one of these affects thousands of biological processes in our bodies, so when we
do not have of them, we will obviously not operate at our best and especially our brains since it's a ridiculously metabolically demanding organ.

This is why some people say that the carnivore diet cured their fatigue which is 50% true since it "cures" fatigue by decreasing the
need of certain nutrients (which is not something good necessarily) such as vitamin B1 and vitamin C.
So if the cause of your fatigue was malnutrition, carnivore would "solve" it FAST.
Now let's get back to malnutrition.

Now let's get back to malnutrition.
I won't obviously tell you to eat right and take your
vitamins in order to resolve this.
It won't work and let me explain why.
Even if you do these, if you keep taking part in activities and consuming things that deplete these at a faster rate than the one you're consuming them, you can not replenish them by default.

Even if you do these, if you keep taking part in activities and consuming things that deplete these at a faster rate than the one you're consuming them, you can not replenish them by default.
So the first step, is to get out what's depriving you of precious nutrients.
The main ones and the things that they deplete are:
1.Herbicides and pesticides: All minerals, glycine, B vitamins (indirectly by harming the beneficial bacteria in our guts)

Now that we've gotten out what’s SEVERELY depleting us of these nutrients, we have one more step before replenishing them which is healing our gut and is a cause of fatigue and brain fog by itself.
These 4 threads, will greatly help you improve the health of your gut.
Now let's talk about replenishing these nutrients.
80% of the results will come from you quitting what's mentioned above, healing your gut and consuming a diet based around quality animal products, seasonal fruit, raw dairy, occasional shellfish and organs, soups, pasture

raised eggs, quality fats from fruit sources such as coconut oil, grass-fed animal fats, some vegetables prepared the right way on occasion (sprouted and slow-cooked in animal fats) and learning how to properly use herbs such as ginger, cinnamon, cistanche and so on.
The last 20% will come from short-term supplement use in cases of extreme malnutrition.
This thread (not a small one) will teach you how to properly use, combine and time supplements.

Cause 2: Bad light environment
⅔ of our ATP levels are dependent on our light environment.
So a bad light environment = a lot of fatigue.

So a bad light environment = a lot of fatigue.
The first step for optimizing our light environment is addressing artificial blue light .
Blue light exists in nature and has many benefits for our well-being.
But the downsides of blue light in nature are balanced by the red light that also exists in nature (this is the reason why a lot of blue light blocking glasses can be red-ish).
This obviously is not the case

This obviously is not the case
with artificial blue light.
You have all the downside without the upside.
You have all the stimulation that’s causing you insomnia, heart problems, diabetes, ages you, messes up your dopamine and serotonin without any upside.

You have all the stimulation that’s causing you insomnia, heart problems, diabetes, ages you, messes up your dopamine and serotonin without any upside.
Now the things you can do in order to minimize
the downsides, are to start using blue light blocking devices and glasses, but also to replace the lightbulbs in your house with ones that don't emit that much blue light (look, i know how this sounds but if you try it, your health will actually improve, a lot).
Then, you need to expose yourself to sunlight at least 3 times a day.
Once a little after sunrise, once mid-day and once a little before sunset.
The sun will not destroy your health but improve it if you don't spend 13 hours straight in the sun, get enough antioxidants,

Adrenal fatigue is a mild form of adrenal insufficiency usually caused by prolonged stress, which can be diagnosed by blood tests that show inadequate levels of adrenal hormones.
To improve adrenal fatigue, it is important to stop fasting all the time, not overtrain, increase dietary vitamin C, address oxidative stress, and address the health of mast cells.

Cause 5: Excessive serotonin
A serotonin excess produces many problems such as: IBS, cancer, neurological damage, anxiety, mood disorders, hair loss, hypothyroidism, headaches, migraines, low testosterone, fertility problems,
Cause 5: Excessive serotonin
A serotonin excess produces many problems such as: IBS, cancer, neurological damage, anxiety, mood disorders, hair loss, hypothyroidism, headaches, migraines, low testosterone, fertility problems,
it impairs our learning ability and causes fatigue since it is a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor.
In order to get rid of excessive serotonin cheat you can:
1.Make sure that you get enough thiamine and zinc
2.Drink a cup of bone broth or eat grass-fed gelatin between meals

Cause 7: High prolactin
First of all, take care of your thyroid as you just saw (thread in the previous tweet) since PTH can increase prolactin.
Then make sure you have enough prolactin antagonists such as vitamin D, vitamin B6, zinc and vitamin E.

Address these 9 first and if this thread does well i put out more possible causes.
Now i've already run out of space and most people won't read this, but descent tools that can help you battle fatigue and brain fog are the following:
-Ginger
-Vanilla (not kidding)
