Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key reasons for constant fatigue & sleepiness (and what to do about them)

1) Adrenal fatigue / high cortisol (stress physiology)

  • What’s happening: Chronic stress → elevated cortisol → more glucose production/release (including from protein/fat via gluconeogenesis) → rising blood sugar/insulin cycling → exhaustion.
  • Mind-brain link: The amygdala is activated by fear/anxiety → worsens relaxation and sleep.
  • Self-care / productivity actions:
    • Vitamin B1 (suggested form: nutritional yeast) to calm the stress response.
    • Ashwagandha (adaptogen) to improve stress resistance.
    • Address fear/avoidance: “Face” fear by reducing avoidance—when you stop avoiding and observe it, fear can lose intensity.

2) Sleep problems (especially “cortisol timing”)

  • What’s happening: Poor sleep feeds fatigue; cortisol may be elevated around midnight–2 a.m., disrupting normal recovery.
  • Self-care strategies:
    • More sleep improves stress control and adrenal function.
    • Physical work/exercise helps burn off “stress energy” that keeps you from sleeping.
    • Increase melatonin naturally via infrared/sun exposure:
      • Sunlight contains a lot of infrared → boosts cellular (intracellular) melatonin.
      • Infrared from fireplace/fire/candles/red light therapy may help.
      • Avoid screen/LED-type light effects described as reducing melatonin replenishment.

3) Post-viral / chronic post-infection fatigue

  • What’s happening: Residual fatigue after illness may resemble nutrient deficiencies (especially B vitamins, particularly B1) and can involve inflammatory/oxidative stress patterns.
  • What to try (nutrients & light):
    • After illness: nutritional yeast / B1 and D3 + zinc.
    • Consider antioxidants such as N-acetyl cysteine.
    • Avoid melatonin supplements per the speaker; instead use infrared exposure to raise melatonin naturally.
    • If stress is ongoing, remove/eliminate the stressor—fatigue is hard to resolve if stress continues.

4) Latent viruses & stress-related immune suppression

  • What’s happening: High cortisol can suppress immunity and may “reactivate” dormant viruses (example: Epstein–Barr).
  • Wellness strategy: Focus on reducing stress + restoring recovery with sleep, nutrients, infrared/light, etc., rather than only suppressing symptoms.

5) Lyme disease possibility

  • What’s happening: The immune system may struggle to clear spirochetes; symptoms can stem from the immune response/inflammation.
  • Suggested natural supports (not guaranteed medical treatment):
    • Oregano, garlic, thyme, sage as “natural antibiotics” / immune supports.

6) Insulin resistance / high-carb–driven sleepiness

  • What’s happening: High-carb intake can increase sleepiness after meals; low-carb may increase alertness/“awareness.”
  • Productivity/energy strategy: A low-carb approach, with the speaker recommending:
    • Keto diet + intermittent fasting to change energy and brain fuel utilization (link mentioned).

7) Low stomach acid (digestive absorption issues)

  • What’s happening: Low gastric acid can impair absorption (e.g., B12, iron) and digestion → fatigue + possible small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
  • Self-care approach (gradual):
    • Apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride (hydrochloride) before meals.
    • Expect a slow ramp-up (the speaker mentions needing “weeks” and starting with multiple tablets immediately before meals, then adjusting as tolerated).

8) Vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially potassium & magnesium)

  • What’s happening: Energy depends on cellular electricity/ATP; the speaker emphasizes potassium and magnesium alongside greens.
  • Diet strategy:
    • Eat large portions of greens to raise potassium and magnesium.
    • The speaker notes noticeable fatigue on days with low greens.
  • Big-picture conclusion: The most important lever is putting diet in order, not just taking many vitamins.

Top overall “do these first” plan (as implied by the speaker)

  • Fix diet (speaker emphasis: keto + intermittent fasting; increase greens for potassium/magnesium).
  • Eliminate stress so you can sleep.
  • If post-infectious: increase B1, D3, zinc, and use infrared.
  • Support sleep with more sleep, physical work, and infrared/sun exposure to replenish melatonin naturally.
