Chronic fatigue and energy depletion protect us and slow us down.
Demand should not exceed energy availability if it does there is likely to be depression, stress and physical effects.
If demand is less than energy available there is vitality and happiness
2/3 of energy is used in maintaining the body, the rest should be mental and physical needs, however the immune system uses loads of energy if there is inflammation (e.g. allergies) and disease
Mitochondria = energy of the body
Thyroid = speed of the body
Adrenals = demands of the body
Diet and gut function allow nutrients to mitochondria
Sleep allows repair and healing of mitochondria
Causes:
- Diet deficient in nutrients or poor absorption due to a fermenting gut. Depleted minerals from our soil means less nutrients in plants and therefore nutrient deficient meat
- Blocked by toxins and heavy metals
- In appropriate pacing (including lack of sleep). People override their need for rest
- Daily Stress and continual high Cortisol
- Emotional distress or traumas
