Episode 66 - Karina Antram on how you can Fix Your Fatigue
Joining me this time is Karina Antram - registered nutritionist and executive coach, and author of Fix your Fatigue. Karina is hugely passionate about health and wellbeing after her own health struggles led her to seek out naturopathic practices. After being diagnosed with IBS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Lyme Disease, Karina tried out a multitude of tests, diets, health practices, different foods and herbs to try and combat her debilitating symptoms which, at times, led her to being hospitalised. Karina is now recovered, having made numerous changes to her diet and lifestyle, but is fully aware that consistency and continuity is key.
Fix Your Fatigue is designed to be easily accessible, helping the reader identify what is draining their energy and begin to take action.
In this episode we cover:
the difference between ‘normal’ levels of tiredness and fatigue
energy leaks - what they are and how to address them - including some that might not be obvious
the impact of stress and exposure to toxins on our mitochondria and how well they function to provide us with energy
micronutrients in our food, why they are so critical for our energy production process, why we might not be absorbing them well, and when we might think about supplementation
using nudge theory to help ourselves with healthier habits and making changes
Karina’s tips for making water more palatable, making your own healthy ‘nutrient toppers’ and other health hacks
What to do first if you’re really struggling with fatigue…
