Why Gut Health matters
Recent studies show that there is a direct link between our gut health and many other areas of health, including:
When it comes to boosting energy levels, we typically try quick fixes like energy drinks, coffee, or even low-grade gas station pills to get us through the day. We all know the feeling of being drained and fatigued, struggling to keep up with the demands of our hectic lives. But don't forget that the emotional toll of chronic fatigue can be just as significant. Living with persistent low energy can lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and even hopelessness, casting a shadow on our overall mood and outlook on life. And that's not all—poor sleep, a common side effect of low energy, can create a cascade of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
Luckily, there are easy ways to naturally improve your energy levels without compromising your health.
How do you improve Energy levels?
- Eat for energy
There are many natural ways to improve your energy levels. Remember, our energy comes from the foods that we eat. By feeding your cells high quality, non inflammatory foods, you can slowly improve your cellular health and energy levels. Consider increasing the healthy fats in your lifestyle and minimizing your intake of overly processed and sugary foods.

- Reduce stress levels
Stress is a major drain on the body and consumes excessive amounts of energy. By minimizing your stress levels, you give your body more energy for things you love. Here are few easy activities that can help reduce your stress levels and improve your energy:
- Meditation and Prayer: Natural stress relief meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction are types of simple mental techniques that can be practiced for just minutes a day to bring about mindfulness and reduce stress or anxiety. If you're new to meditation, focus on being still and calming your thoughts. Prayer has been highly beneficial in reducing stress.
- Tai Chi: The elderly in Asian countries use Tai Chi for stress reduction, slow purposeful exercise, and balance! Tai Chi incorporates motion and mindfulness, with guided deep breathing incorporated into many classes, whether you attend in person, online, or by watching a DVD - there are levels for everyone, of all ages.
- Practice self-care: Take a hot bath with Epsom salts and essential oils, treat yourself to a pedicure, spend some time in a sauna, write in your journal, or do a devotional. Listen to your body and give it some love.
- Get quality sleep
Studies show that sleep is when the body heals and repairs itself, including on a cellular level. This makes getting quality sleep imperative for improving cellular health and your energy levels.
In the beginning of the COVID pandemic, I made a series of videos on Defeating Default Patterns. One of the most popular videos from that series is my video on quality sleep, and how to obtain it. If you are interested in improving your energy levels naturally, please watch this video and learn what steps you can start taking to improve your sleep.
In case you don't have time to watch the full video, here are a few highlights:
- Create a darker & cooler environment for bed
- Have a consistent bedtime routine
- Make sure your electronic devices are shut off - remember blue lights can stop your brain from shutting down
- Getting regular exercise is vital for your overall health. Exercise increases blood flow to all parts of the body, including the brain. This improved circulation ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered efficiently to your tissues, which can help you feel more alert and energized.
