play00:00

these are the five supplements that

play00:01

actually eliminate and will work with

play00:03

fatigue now these aren't in any

play00:05

particular order but the very first one

play00:06

is Makar root a lot people see this as a

play00:08

very beneficial for helping with not

play00:10

only energy but also with low libido for

play00:13

both women and males I've used this a

play00:15

lot with my patients and if you're

play00:16

someone that struggles with low libido

play00:18

chances are you're also dealing with low

play00:19

energy hormones do impact our energy

play00:21

significantly and so Makar root is

play00:23

definitely a great one to be using to

play00:25

not only help with hormone imbalances

play00:27

but also helping and contributing to

play00:29

fatigue in fact there was a study done

play00:30

with 50 men that had erectile

play00:33

dysfunction found that treatment with

play00:35

2,400 mg of dry Maca extract for 12

play00:39

weeks significantly improved physical

play00:41

and social performance compared with the

play00:43

placebo group the second one is ginsing

play00:45

which has definitely been heavily

play00:47

researched probably then more than any

play00:48

kind of herb when it comes to energy

play00:49

boosting it has a lot of different

play00:51

energy boosting properties and there's

play00:52

been a lot of human trials with panic

play00:54

Jens sing in fact this one study right

play00:56

here had 90 subjects both men and women

play00:59

and it was was a randomized double blind

play01:01

placeable control group and they were

play01:03

testing for different measurements that

play01:05

they took jining for 4 weeks to measure

play01:07

fatigue severity and they found a

play01:09

significantly Improvement in panic Jens

play01:12

sing Administration when there was

play01:14

measurements of 1 gr ad ministered to 2

play01:16

G compared to the placebo group only two

play01:18

G of Jin sing significally reduced the

play01:21

different score levels of the visual

play01:23

analog scale they measured total

play01:25

glutathione which also had a significant

play01:27

Improvement versus the placebo group now

play01:29

the thirdd category I'm going to give a

play01:31

variety of different supplements and

play01:32

this has comes down to micronutrient

play01:34

deficiencies there are so many different

play01:35

micronutrient deficiencies that can

play01:37

impact someone's energy significantly

play01:39

it's something that I see time and time

play01:40

again with my patients and it can't be

play01:42

overlooked these are some of the big

play01:43

ones that can instantly improve your

play01:45

energy if you do have a micronutrient

play01:47

deficiency some of the biggest ones is

play01:48

vitamin D which is a big problem across

play01:51

the world about 50% of people tend to be

play01:53

vitamin D deficient and so this could be

play01:55

a night and day difference with your

play01:56

energy if you have low vitamin D levels

play01:58

another big one is iron iron definitely

play02:01

can impact our energy significantly if

play02:02

you have low iron or fertin levels

play02:04

definitely want to have that checked I

play02:06

see this time and time again that can

play02:07

impact your low energy and can certainly

play02:09

improve your energy levels if that is

play02:11

the case along with iron another thing

play02:12

to look at is definitely vitamin B12 it

play02:14

could be another type of anemia that

play02:16

could impact your energy levels but

play02:17

overall in general vitamin B12 is

play02:19

significantly important for energizing a

play02:21

lot of our different cells throughout

play02:22

our body but other different biochemical

play02:24

processes throughout our body that help

play02:26

with energy and then vitamin B6 is

play02:28

another big one and on top of that I

play02:30

would say also CoQ10 is something that

play02:32

definitely is really important because

play02:33

CoQ10 is really what actually creates

play02:36

ATP it's definitely a very important

play02:37

vitamin that helps create energy by

play02:39

creating ATP in the mitochondria and if

play02:41

you're someone that's really sick and

play02:42

have a low immune system you're going to

play02:44

have to be using your CQ10 to help use

play02:46

as antioxidants and that's going to be

play02:47

taken away for that so sometimes you

play02:48

need to supplement something like CoQ10

play02:50

especially if you're on a Statin that

play02:51

will decrease your CoQ10 levels so

play02:53

supplementing something like CoQ10 could

play02:54

definitely help improve your energy now

play02:56

if you're looking for guidance to have

play02:57

all day energy and focus then you should

play02:59

all not my all day Focus energy guide in

play03:01

the description below now the fourth

play03:03

area and I guess supplement I would say

play03:05

that can really definitely eliminate

play03:06

fatigue situation for you and I think

play03:08

this is the biggest one out of all the

play03:09

patients that I do see and it comes down

play03:11

to really cortisol cortisol has

play03:13

everything to do with energy it's what

play03:14

actually gets us up in the morning it

play03:16

should be the highest in the morning and

play03:17

then kind of taper out throughout the

play03:18

day and be lowest at nighttime to help

play03:21

us go to sleep so if you understand the

play03:23

importance about cortisol then if you

play03:24

understand your energy level if you're

play03:25

someone that has low energy very first

play03:27

thing in the morning or even throughout

play03:29

the day then you probably might have low

play03:31

cortisol levels throughout the day you

play03:33

need to be taking something that can

play03:34

actually improve those cortisol levels

play03:35

so one of my favorite ones that I use is

play03:37

adrenal desicated by standard process or

play03:39

another one called adrenal support by

play03:40

vital nutrients now there's no

play03:42

sponsorship on this video it's just ones

play03:43

that I like using and the reason why I

play03:45

like using this is because it helps

play03:46

improve increase those cor levels it

play03:48

helps really instantly help my patients

play03:50

and clients have improved energy

play03:52

sometimes within just those few days

play03:53

because they had such low cortisol

play03:55

levels now I will say that you want to

play03:57

make sure you only take this for about 3

play03:58

months because it's just helps to

play04:00

revitalize the adrenals to help improve

play04:01

those Corel levels to help get to a

play04:03

point where your adrenals are

play04:04

functioning on its own so you're not

play04:05

have to be so heavily dependent on

play04:07

adrenal desicated now the fifth

play04:08

supplement or fifth category because

play04:10

there's a couple on here that I want to

play04:11

talk about is if you're dealing with

play04:12

someone that has high stress and it's

play04:14

impacting your sleep then it's kind of

play04:16

the opposite of what adrenal desicated

play04:18

would be doing and that' be if you

play04:19

actually have spiked cortisol levels so

play04:21

if you have spiked cortisol levels

play04:22

throughout the day but typically at

play04:24

night guess what that's going to impact

play04:25

your sleep and that's going to impact

play04:26

your energy so some of my favorite

play04:28

supplements I like to use to lower

play04:29

cortisol levels and you got to be very

play04:31

careful with this because it also could

play04:32

do the opposite effect to your energy is

play04:34

ashwagandha and Roda both of those are

play04:36

scientifically proven to reducing

play04:38

cortisol but you want to make sure

play04:39

you're taking it at night if you have

play04:41

high spiked cortisol levels at night

play04:43

that are impacting your sleep so by

play04:44

taking that that'll help calm down help

play04:46

lower those corol levels so you get a

play04:48

good night's sleep and then you're going

play04:49

to help improve your energy in a very

play04:51

impactful way another thing that you

play04:53

need to really kind of consider when

play04:54

you're dealing with low energy is you

play04:56

probably are someone that also deals

play04:57

with brain fog where you have that hazy

play05:00

brain and you probably forget things

play05:02

maybe can't focus as well then you

play05:04

should watch this video next we're talk

play05:05

about the five supplements that actually

play05:07

work with brain fog so watch this video
