One of the most common deficiencies that lead to fatigue, is iron deficiency.
If you haven’t been to your GP in the past since you’ve been feeling tired, then make an
appointment ASAP.
Ask for a full blood test to check your iron levels, along with cholesterol and mineral
levels.
A big part of why we feel foggy brain, anxiety or irritability is due to imbalances in blood
glucose levels and its impact on the brain.
When we rush in the morning and don’t ‘break our fast’, our body goes into stress,
releasing hormones that are directly linked with anxiety, irritability, fatigue and brain fog.
We want to prevent this AND create the opposite effect - calm, clarity and energy!
This habit will also speed up your metabolism for weight loss.
Have this smoothie every morning within 20-mins of waking, for the next 4-7 days
and see the difference for yourself:

your digestive system and protein for muscle tone.

Don’t go longer than 4 hours between meals, as it’s critical to keep energy stable, mood
balanced, and prevent stress.
Eat 3 main meals + 2 snacks everyday. If you stay up late to work, you need another
snack!
TIP: Snack on fruit, nuts, rice cake with hummus or almond butter; natural yoghurt,
green smoothie/ juice or protein ball.
Caffeine doesn’t actually “give you energy.” What it really does is mask your fatigue and
stimulates stress hormones.
TIP: Have a snack/ breakfast before a coffee. During the day, reduce the number of
coffee or caffeine drinks and replace with tea, mineral water with lemon juice.
Coffee Alternatives:
Since the Thomas Edison invented the first lightbulb, our sleep has dropped to
un-natural levels - around 6-7 hours.
This is unhealthy!
Lack of sleep (6 hours per night) makes you 23% more likely to be overweight! Getting
proper sleep can regulate your weight.
Get to bed by earlier and without the blue light of the iphone - this will only keep your
brain stimulated and prevent a proper restful sleep.
If you can’t do that, then don’t expect to wake up refreshed and energised the next day.
This requires some discipline to begin, but it’s well worth it.
