A large number of Americans experience fatigue and brain fog on a daily basis, and these issues can take a toll on your health and mind over time. There are many potential reasons for the prevalence of fatigue, several of which we will discuss in today’s show, Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?. We’ll also give you some guidance on how to support healthy energy levels and detoxification processes with supplements and lifestyle changes.

Products Mentioned in Today’s Show

Ageless Cell Revive – Phospholipids or phosphatides are an integral part of biological membranes, and they tend to decrease as we age. They are critical for cell and mitochondrial membrane shape, repair, and growth. Proper cell membrane function facilitates healthy cell signaling, which is important for energy production, immune function and regulating inflammatory cascades.

L-Carnitine – L-carnitine is an amino acid essential for the transport of fatty acids into the cell mitochondria. Research has shown that L-carnitine stimulates the use of fat for fuel and boosts metabolism, which plays a key role in weight management. L-carnitine has also been found to support cardiovascular health and to increase aerobic capacity during exercise.

Enviro- Detox – A broad-spectrum binding formula containing natural ingredients from the purest sources to support enhanced clearance of heavy metals, unwanted organisms and organic compounds from the GI tract.

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?

00:00:01 – 00:05:01

Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of the green wisdom health show. I’m Janet Lewis. And I’m doctor Lewis. And we thought we would come to you today with a couple of exciting things. One is we have some false savings coming up for you, so stay tuned for this. But the name of this show is called are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? We decided to do a podcast doctor Lewis has been very busy writing some books for you guys on how to eat correctly nutrient based eating. He’s also doing some webinar. So I’ve had him very busy, so I apologize for the lack of podcasts coming on. But we cause people are getting another round of being sick again and for some people it’s the third or fourth time. We thought we should come on the air and talk to you a little bit about what may be causing that, some things you could take to help you beside the common things like vitamin D and that sort of thing. And why it’s so important that we see about going into fall with health. So doctor Lewis would you like to talk to the audience? I think they might have missed you. Yeah, well, first of all, I’d like to say thank you, Melinda from Nederland, Texas from being so compliant and getting such great results. It’s funny, fact of life, but secret that you get out of it, what you put into it. So sweet little lady done in southeast Texas. And thank you, Eric, for sending her and dozens of others. Here’s the deal. I would love for y’all to do me a favor and write me Doc at green wisdom health dot com. Is that right? It is because he’s actually had a little problem with Facebook and his shooting straight page. So he’s not getting any direct messages on that now. He’s still checking it, but Facebook has their own rules and they decided to make one. So we still have the page. He just doesn’t see the post right away, so I don’t think he’s ignoring you. He will be on there to answer. Yeah, Doc, green wisdom, health dot com. Email me and I’d like to know your opinion. Do you like the podcast? Should we do more should we do less? Because I have been busy. And we can do more if we need to, but we want to know what it takes to reach you. So I’m going to ramble normally I’m just slow, slow, slow, about everything, but we have a short show in saying a long way to go in a short time to get there. We’re going to talk about, are you sick and tired of being sick and tired and there’s so many different reasons. And I want to talk just a little bit about the relationship between cortisol and DHEA and those of you that patients will you remember me saying well, DHEA is responsible for at least a 150 different processes in the body to heal your brain. Heal your body and brain. And it’s the youth hormone. You get less as you get older, not because you’re older, but because you have extra decades of toxins which slow that down. And there’s a relationship between that and cortisol, which are two of the things you don’t normally see on lab that Janet and I routinely do. Suboptimal levels of DHEA have, they’ve been demonstrating patients with numerous chronic disease states, which includes inflammatory diseases, which is IBD or rheumatoid mode disorders who in the heck has not been stressed. These last two, three years. And chronic pain syndromes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and DHEA has been shown to reverse the classic stress induced physiological responses. It varies with age, and I have mine about two to three times higher than what my age says in the reference intervals. And it, I mean, I feel about 30 years younger than what I am, and that’s part of it. Cortisol should be at a very optimal level, not too low, not too high. Which cortisol affects so many things, heart, your vasculature, your blood pressure, water excretion, electrolyte balance, and the thing about that is you can be super stressed and it goes high, but then sooner or later those little adrenal glands, which put out cortisol and DHEA. They blow, they get fatigued, and then it’s worse if it’s lower than if it’s high. It’s harder to deal with. Which turns into chronic fatigue syndrome. And some of the symptoms for that are fatigued that doesn’t go away even after getting good sleep.

00:05:02 – 00:10:07

That you can’t fall asleep or stay asleep, and we hear that a lot. Muscle and joint pain. And that’s one of the things doctor Lewis is actually working on as a webinar about how pain correlates to different problems besides just showing it to you on lab. I think it’s pretty cool we’re going to do it in a little bit different way, you know, because he’s a chiropractor and because of that, he is able to actually put together the pain elements of some of the dysfunction going on internally like chronic fatigue. How musculoskeletal can be adversely affected if your thyroid hormone draw off or if this is off if that’s off. And there’s a huge, huge correlation. It’s just indisputable. Yeah, besides the muscle and joint pain, people get frequent headaches. They’re frequently getting sick, like we’re seeing now having sore throat, cold, or flu like symptoms, they’re gaining weight. Melinda said or headaches. Which she had every day of her life. Now she only has one once in a while. So God, I hope you’re listening down there and need her land, Texas. Digestive problems like constipation or cramps, mental fogginess and trouble concentrating or remembering things clearly. And you talk about cortisol being right or wrong, we have a lady that called in the other day. I think it’s the coolest story ever. She’s walking the Appalachian trail. She’s on our supplements. Thank you, Bridget. She’s been walking since March from Maine to Georgia or Georgia to Maine. I didn’t ask her which direction she’s going, but she says she’s almost at the end. But she reached a high point. One of the mountains and decided to call me and place her order. So a product would get to her on time. So I thought, super cool. It works. People that have good results are the ones that don’t make up excuses. They just do it. As far as the ratio of cortisol and DHEA, that can affect, as I said, musculoskeletal health, osteoporosis, osteopenia, renal calculi, which basically means calcium oxalate stones, which we’ve talked about on many of the patients, muscle wasting I hear that more and more for some reason the last two years or two and a half years we’ve seen more muscle wasting more livers going to heck in a bucket more kidneys going crazy for some strange reason. And if you put in the nutrition to allow your body to begin to work, how it knows it’s already should be working your body has an innate intelligence. But our food does not have the proper amount of supplements are nutrients in it. We can ligament and cartilaginous tissues, think bulging disc. Aggressive. Neural health, which, you know, that’s depression anxiety that we talked about. And Janet can tell you all about that. That’s why this is successful business because she’s a little OCD and I mean, not crazy. I’m sorry. Sorry. You’re not crazy. Sorry, honey. Okay. Insomnia as she talked about the mood swings. I talked about, but a lot of the different pain syndromes. Easy bruising and vascular fragility. Yeah, I’m hearing that more and more people say I’m raising like an old man I’m coming in and I’m not on COVID and so yeah, that’s part of it. What’s doing that? Well, the wrong Reich of cortisol to DHEA. Oh, interesting. And also causes yeast overgrowth as well as well as frequent infections. And hormonal deficiencies that are sometimes overlooked in your regular blood test. Thyroid problems, and maybe that’s a good time to mention now, I know that times are tough or a lot of people out there monetarily. And a lot of things are going up. What we have decided to do is go backwards with that and have it go down. So what we are offering for the next couple of about a month, it ends October 17th. We are offering you 20% off of your lab work. So if you’ve never done lab work, that’s a huge deal. It’s already super cheap anyway. Right, but that includes doctor Lewis. You still get everything. We’re not taking anything off. We’re actually giving you all the lab. We’re giving you a consultation with doctor Lewis functional medicine report and supplement recommendations. And for those of you that hadn’t done it in a year or two, Janet’s well, we’re adding more. We have more than we did a couple of years ago. And she added the TPO and thyroid anti globulin antibodies for the women and the D dimer to the men and the price didn’t go up. Now she’s taking 20% off, which means I probably won’t get a Christmas present. And so I added a thyroid panel. So if there’s a lot of people that just want to see what their thyroid’s doing, doctor Lewis, don’t talk to him about it because he’ll tell you, I like to see more because he really does and many times it’s not your thyroid.

00:10:07 – 00:15:03

But if you think it is your thyroid or you know it has been in the past, there is now a thyroid panel, that one’s also 20% off through October the 17th. You just need to go on our website, green wisdom health dot com. There will be a promo code in the box and you need to type in the words fall savings and it’s a capital F ALL space savings with the capital SAV. And that will take 20% off instantly. You’ll be able to see the price and then just finish the checkout process. And then I will put your lab order in your little portal that we’ve come up with. So pretty good deal, we’ve never been able to do that since we’ve partnered with a different lab company. We’re able to offer this periodically. So we thought it was a great time now because people really need to know their numbers and not just guess or just stay on the same things they’ve been on forever. I didn’t think it was a lab coming out about Janet was crazy, good negotiator. I’ve heard crazy twice this morning. This is beginning to offend me. Is this one of the symptoms? Yeah, well, something to do with bad excrement, something like that. Andrew can dysfunction, heavy metal toxicity, which we talked about before. It helps increase liver detoxification. I’m talking back on cortisol. DHEA. Hypothyroidism is just mentioned. It has to do with T four to T three conversion premenstrual syndrome, man, if you’re smart, you’ll never mention that infertility. I can not tell you how many babies across America that women could not get pregnant and then boom all of a sudden they get their body healthy through us and they start having babies, but nobody’s named one Stephen yet. Severe menopause, insulin resistance. And I’m really big on insulin resistant because people say, I can’t lose weight, and it’s like, well, it takes a long time to reverse it, speeding freight train of disease and stop it and reverse it, going toward health. And insulin resistance is one of the big deals. Yeah, and then there’s some natural things that you can do because I know you take maybe you take supplements and you still feel this way. So has it got something to do with what you’re eating or drinking. So you need to change your diet to solve adrenal fatigue by avoiding caffeine. Oh, God. You go. Preaching to getting personal, honey. Someone’s got a cup of coffee going over here. And she made it for me. Because I know he needs it. So he talks a little faster during the podcast. Have you noticed he goes a little slower, so if I give him caffeine to speeding, his voice picks up. Avoid excess sugar in carbohydrates. Oh, Jesus. That’s most of us. Hydrogenated oils. That’s the big thing in that helps create insulin resistance. And if you eat out cannibalism, if it’s processed food, you’re taking them and people say, what do I do about it? And I said, besides cutting it way back, eat more and more and more of the good fish oil, all fish almost, not the same. Good. Processed and packaged foods. Not good. It may be driving through the fast food lane. And we did hair funny story about that yesterday. You get caught at hardee’s. You might be eating the wrong thing. That’d be embarrassed. If the FBI stole my phone and I was in the party’s line, it’s like, holy cow. Yeah, it more embarrassing that you were in the hardys line than the phone got stolen. Yeah, from this. Healthy eat healthy fats and do proteins and plenty of fresh vegetables. And that is fish oil, but that’s also a coconut oil walnut oil. Avocado oil stay the heck away from corn vegetable, canola is poison, peanuts, questionable, sunflower is better. Interesting little tidbit. I always learn something new from doctor Lewis because he’s like some sort of walking and cyclopedia. I had a lady yesterday asked me about prebiotics and probiotics. And we don’t carry prebiotics. We carry probiotics. And she want to know, well, why don’t we carry them? And I thought, well, I don’t know. I’ll ask him why we don’t carry him. So he said, why would we do that? He said, most pre boards come from your vegetables. There’s fiber. It’s fiber. And I thought, oh, cool. And I said, so you can just literally vegetables at your prebiotics. There’s a lot of people out there that get caught up in the smoke mirrors and sizzle and no steak. And because there’s people, everybody’s trying to sell us all something.

00:15:03 – 00:20:01

So if you’re eating your vegetable in this place, well, I don’t eat beets and that’s what you come back with. Because why you’re not in bikini stage every year. I need to get skinny for my bikini and she’s sweet light yellow, but that was the last thing she pushed. She goes to vegetables. Yeah, she goes, I just don’t eat them, and I’m thinking. Well, I can’t do that for you, but isn’t it interesting that you can eat a vegetable and that’s a prebiotic and then you take your probiotics. So little tidbit learned? The fibers, you know, kind of the staging area. And people say, well, you’ve got to have annual in it. It’s like, yeah, well, I’ve seen it. And it’s not a bad thing. But I’ve seen people take the probiotics with inulin and then they blow up when they take it and wonder why they’re bloated and have massive amounts of gas. It’s because they can’t data or overgrowth of yeast is going ballistic on that stuff. So it needs to be done in stages. It needs to be done wisely. Yeah, you talk about a yeast and overgrowth, that sort of thing. I had a lady that called, she was a chef. And a restaurant that we must have eaten at ten years ago. I do not remember really eating there. We have memory pills. That was ten years ago. She called me the other day, and she said, oh my gosh, you’re Janet Lewis. I said, I am. And she said, I finally found your name ten years later on a piece of paper where you had given me olive leaf as a product because I had a type two tick bite lime type two limes. I think it was, and I said, how did you get that? She said, from a mosquito, she said she said there was actually two or three people there in that little town that got them. Two of them died. She did not die, and she’s crediting us with saving her life over all of life. And all of leif is a huge antibiotic. And up a limes came from TX. I don’t know. Janet, thanks so much. I don’t know, but she’s, she said that she survived because of it, and she offered to pay me for those products that I gave her ten years ago to get better. And I said, you know what? Calling me ten years later, I don’t even think you could give me enough money to compensate that. Just this just call it good and be glide your back. We don’t even remember it. So but we get a free meal out of it. She’s building another restaurant and going back to work. And the people that come back and say something positive later. Thank you, thank you. It keeps us encouraged because we need that too. Yes. So there’s other causes of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Everybody’s going to love this one. I said and Terry lifestyle. Having a desk job, having lack of movement. Having back problems, chronic pain, sitting all the time, and lack of motivation. I will tell you, Brandi is not working for us any longer. She went back to school. She’s working on a degree in nutrition. I guess where she’s going to end up later. Right. She’ll be back here. But it’s caused doctor Lewis and I to get a lot of exercise and moving all these products around and getting up on the shelves and stuff, and I thought, man, I’ve been sitting a lot. She actually was very active. That little problem. So now we’re energetic. He’s still having coffee. So he’s thinking about that. No, he is telling me when it’s time to talk. Well, you can talk about depression. How’s that? Well, I can do that. If you have an overgrowth of yeast and so you have brain fog brain focus almost always because of yeast put out some call foundation stops your absorption and famine, which you don’t get enough of anyway. And so I will get to that in just a second, but causes of fatigue is the, I think it’s called an acronym called dead tired depression, environment, anxiety, anemia, asthma, diabetes, thyroid, and tumors. Infections, rheumatologic, which means arthritis, endocarditis, heart inflammation, but we’ve seen the holy heck out of that last couple of years for some reason and drugs. This comes from journal of family practice recertification. So one of the best things you can do and oh my God, I do it. Is L carnitine in the form we’ve got. You get about a 100% of it rather than the best you could do before that was 65% of it. It does require other optimal amounts of nutrients. And that’s why I tell people take them multi. It’s a super, super good one in cost about half as much as it should be. But you need that. Carnitine is transported mostly to the cardiac and skeletal muscle. That’s wise copper. I’m interested. And 98% of the total body of carnitine is stored muscle and heart. It’s an essential nutrient.

00:20:02 – 00:25:00

It helps transportation of long chain fatty acids. That’s why Janice said eat good fats. But it goes to the mitochondria matrix mitochondria. Remember, we talked about that to some powerhouse that you have a Julian of men ever sell jillions over. Stated. There’s a lot of in each cell. And it’s the energy producer in each cell. There are certain things that can cause you to have carnitine deficiency, but for the most part, it plays a big, big, big central role in the metabolism and production of energy from fatty acids. So you have to have the good fatty acids. It actually gives you more energy than a cup of coffee. I’ve tried it both ways, just having coffee. And I do both. Well, yeah, if you do the coffee, then do the carnitine, it’s like, wow, what a kick. Again, I’m seriously feel about 30 years younger than I am. Right. I overdid the carnitine at first because that’s what I do. She was doing three a day. Oh, good God. I said you’re a 132 pounds. She said, Steven, I’m not that fat. Okay, I don’t know how much you weigh honey. I’m sure it’s a 120, but I don’t know what she was, but that’s right. One 20. Oh, they’re about. Maybe one 19. Anyway, the carnitine also wanted you to talk about the other one that we have that’s kind of a new product for us. Yeah, but it’s been really popular. It’s called ageless cell revive. And I thought, it’s a powder. You can put it in your coffee. It does, not make your coffee taste bad, it tastes a little bit like a creamer. But it helps support healthy cellular structure function and cellular signaling. It was actually manufactured more for brain health, but then they found out it works with the mitochondria and helps you have energy all through the system. So it supports the mitochondria. It supports your immune system. Pay attention folks. Yeah, as people have been getting more sick. Supports G barrier health, think leaky gut, which leads to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Well, it’s sunflower, less thin, but there’s all kinds of lesser than out there. And I personally think you can avoid the holy heck out of soy lesser than Gopher sunflower. And this is the good stuff, but it helps digest and process fats. So it helps with your focus. It helps with cognitive function. It helps with overall brain health. My mother already had dementia when she was younger than I am. And me and my brother, doctor James Lewis, who’s dean slash chiropractor. We threw supplements and my mother and she was a willing participant. So we put off dementia for about 25 years. She had it in her early 60s. And it didn’t really kick her butt till about 88 to 92. After 92, she was kind of out of there, but what is 25 years worth of better cognitive function worth? That means what she made more. Chocolate chip cookies and cherry pie. And things like that. And now we’re working on my 80 5 year old dad. So he’s still going, just got him a new heart valve from a cow. He’s a pro mistake now, but his mind is good because I keep giving him all these things. He said, I know if it had not been for your supplements that I would not be where I am now. He said, I have no doubt about it. And he is so religious. He was not as religious for a long time and whenever his heart valve started going bad, he realized he was in deep trouble. And then it’s two surgeons came in and said, we do not understand what happened. This was the smoothest easiest, quickest surgery we’ve ever done, especially being 85. So what we’re telling you to do and more and more people are stocking up now is a really, really smart time to stock up in this ageless cell revived. The phospholipids actually, they’re recognized like a T cell. Now T cells are killer cell, which can kill yeast fungus virus. And pathogenic bacteria. So it’s very, very important because it triggers that innate immune defense. And I wanted to mention another thing of being sick and tired. Could be anemia. We’ve had a couple of people that have said, oh no, I had my lab work run, and my red blood cell counts just fine. My hemoglobin hematocrit is just fine. I said, did they run a ferritin? And they were like, I don’t know what that is. I said, right. It’s stored iron. Because the iron they run that you think is fine, is that in your bloodstream, but it’s not what stored. Looking at hemoglobin and hematocrit is not a bad thing, but that’s like looking at a junkyard full of cars or a brand new parking lot full of cars.

00:25:00 – 00:29:33

You don’t know which one you’re really looking at. It’s not specific or space, civic. Right. And so that’s why I’m telling you the lab work is imperative. That is on our comprehensive panel. If you have never run a lab at our office, it’s super simple. All you do because people go, I need an appointment. You don’t really need an appointment. All you need to do is go to our website because I have this totally automated now. Green wisdom health dot com. Fill out the health survey cross off everything going on with you and all the medications you’re on. And it will tell you which panel is the correct panel for you whenever you do it when you’re done. It hits submit. It picks a lab panel. If you want a lab panel that’s got more in it than that, that’s all fine, but that’s going to be the minimum panel it recommends for you. And like I said, put in the code Fall Savings through October 17th. So you can get 20% off of that. And then you can have a thing on the comprehensive is 12 different lab panels. So most people come in here from their doctor, they bring us one to three panels and ask us what’s wrong and we’re like, I don’t know. You don’t have enough lab. Do you want us to just guess? Because I don’t seem to be working well. Which is why we don’t do that. So. But if you throw it in, God gave your body an innate intelligence. It will take the supplements or nutrients and work with them. And there’s so many toxins that we’ve talked about and I’ve talked about that a lot. One of the most popular relatively new supplements we have is called enviro detox. It has the zealot clay activated charcoal, which is from which is the bar golly most absorbable there is, which is full of acid and humic acid. And there’s even research talking about cleaning agents, trigger flu like symptoms and fatigue, and this is just very, very brief. Some of the things that can help with chronic fatigue syndrome and just fatigue in general is B vitamins from journal and neurology talks about it. Minerals, strip to fan, which 5 HTP works wonders for me. Amino acids, CoQ10, essential fatty acids. We talked about the good fats. Malic acid with magnesium. Oh my God, if you’re not on magnesium, you need to be in corella detoxification is good. An acetylcysteine, lipoic acid. We sell a lot of an acetylcysteine in L glutathione or reduce glutathione. Lipoic acid is in the berberine alpha a, so it goes on and on and on. And then there’s even, oh my God, the CDC and I don’t trust them either. But they have endorsement manipulation of the intestinal flora to treat diseases, journal of modern medicine. So robotics. So we are glad you listened to this show. Like doctor Lewis said, we’d appreciate feedback to tell us if you’re enjoying, if you still are enjoying the podcast. Should we do them? Actually, we’d like to know if you’d like to see him on a webinar as well, because he’s super excited about that. And then he keeps telling you guys to go read these books. So he’s just decided to ride his own. So keep a lookout on those. They should be out in probably a month or so. And I’m sorry our show has come to an end, but it has, so doctor Lewis, could you leave us with just a few words, please, as we end this show. Just be words that’s tough. In your health, don’t be careful be bold. The atmosphere you’re in always will create the health you have or the health you want. You have to take action. Living big requires taking action as we get older and older and older, you know, I want to take more action. So God bless you. And we’ll see you later. All right, you guys have a great week. We’ll be here next time on the green wisdom health show. Once again, our show has come to an end, but you’re hoping your health is only beginning. If you or a loved one are in need of a different outcome and are waiting for a brighter future, take the first step and go to our website and fill out the health survey. Please don’t keep us a secret. If you know someone that could benefit from this podcast, please share the show with your friends and family. You are only one step away from a life worth living.

Supporting Energy Levels Naturally

Girl jumping to show energy; supporting energy levels naturally.

Low energy levels and fatigue are common problems today. Many people don’t have the energy to perform necessary chores around the house, let alone enough energy to exercise each day. While some cases of fatigue may be related to a medical condition, many people have low energy levels due to something simple like not getting enough sleep each night, being stressed out, or consuming too much sugar. Let’s discuss some common causes of low energy, and how you can help support energy levels naturally.

Sleep

Getting enough sleep each night can help increase energy throughout the day, improve mood and immune health, and improve the body’s response to stress. While a person’s sleep needs vary, the minium amount of sleep you should get each night is seven hours, with eight or nine being ideal for most adults. Children and teenagers often require ten or eleven hours of sleep per night. However, the quality of your sleep is also important. If you struggle with sleep apnea or another condition that affects your sleep, you may not be getting all the benefits from a full night’s rest. You may also be struggling to sleep deeply or stay asleep due to stress and/or anxiety. Stress-reducing techniques like meditation or taking a warm bath may help.

Diet

While getting good sleep is an important part of increasing your daily energy levels, diet may be even more important. Eating a balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables typically leads to increased energy levels. This is likely due to the nutrients found in those foods, but also due to the effects sugar can have on our energy levels. Sugar and refined carbohydrates like those found in bread and pasta can give you a short boost of energy, but many people find that they experience a rapid drop in energy levels shortly after eating. This drop in energy often leaves you feeling more tired than you did before you ate.

This drop occurs because of the body’s production and release of insulin. When your body senses that there is too much sugar in your body, more than it is accustomed to, the pancreas begins to quickly produce insulin so that blood sugar can be stabilized. However, this quick drop in blood sugar from the insulin can cause energy levels to quickly decrease. This is one of the reasons it’s important to limit sugar consumption, and eat foods that help maintain a healthy blood sugar.

What Can You Do?

Not having enough energy all the time can be frustrating, so try some of these tips on supporting energy levels naturally and see if it improves. You should do your best to get a minimum of seven hours of high-quality sleep each night. You should also consider making some dietary changes like consuming less sugar and refined carbohydrates, and including more organic fruits and vegetables in each meal. There are also some supplements that may help increase energy levels like Immune Essentials which contains mushrooms that not only help support immune health, but also help support cognitive function and healthy energy levels. Pantothenic Acid Complex is another great option that helps improve the body’s ability to handle stress which may help improve sleep quality and energy levels. We always recommend that you talk to your doctor if you are experiencing unexplained fatigue or any other symptom that you are concerned about to make sure it’s not a serious health condition. We want you to feel your best, and have the energy to get through the busy holiday season!

This time of year can be exhausting with all the stress of the holidays, not to mention the increase in colds and flus. Many of our patients have been asking what they could do to boost their energy levels, so we wanted to do a show to discuss what you could take to help you enjoy extra energy naturally for Christmas and the rest of the holiday season.

Some natural ways to help increase energy levels include:

  • Getting at least seven hours of sleep each night
  • Taking a B12 supplement

Running on Empty?

Janet Lewis: Hello, and welcome to this week’s show. I’m Janet Lewis.

 
Dr. Lewis: And I’m Dr. Lewis.

 
Janet Lewis: And we are Green Wisdom Health, home of the low-cost lab work, where we help you get your health goals back in line with having a life worth living. We’re very excited about this week’s show because we are going to be talking to you about running on empty, as many people are. They’re tired, sick, overweight, don’t know what’s wrong with them, depending on that next cup of coffee to make sure that they can get through the whole day.

 
Dr. Lewis: She looked at me when she said “coffee”.

 
Janet Lewis: No, not really. I’m actually talking about a girl named Teresa, and I’m sure you all know a girl named Teresa, but she was running on empty. She was 40 years old, 68 pounds heavier than her wedding day, and still adding almost a pound per month despite eating smaller and smaller portions. “But a lot of people gain weight as they age,” she had reasoned. She often felt very nauseous instead of hungry. After she eat, she said the nausea would return, sometimes much worse, and she had developed a hard knot in the core of her stomach. She just thought, “It’s probably just a little bit of stress.”

 
  She was so tired, bone tired, all the time. Even basic household chores left her exhausted. She’d start a load of laundry, then take a rest on the couch just to gather enough energy to move it to the dryer. I know some of us can relate to that. She didn’t sleep well and often had headaches, so of course she was tired, she assumed. But that wasn’t all. She felt bloated, crampy, constipated most days, even when she wasn’t about to start her period. But when her period did arrive, Teresa often had to take 12 ibuprofen capsules to survive the first day.

 
  She had visited doctors. Everything checked out fine. Normal, average, as many of you can probably relate. She told herself it was normal and just a part of getting older, but when she looked in the mirror she didn’t feel normal. She just felt old. Her skin was flat, her eyes were dull, her hair was brittle and graying and falling out. She had lost her spark. Quick to irritation, short on patience, and often unable to concentrate, Teresa was frustrated but a little resigned with her situation. “After all,” she thought, “nothing’s really wrong. I’m perfectly normal, especially given this crazy life.”

 
  She was manager of a software company, she traveled frequently, she had family life, church commitments. Everything kept her on the go, so she had very little time for exercise, less for rest, and meals were always a hassle. She did her best with nutrition. She tried to grab an apple in the afternoon, tried to remember to take a multivitamin now and then, but it didn’t make any difference. Teresa admits it now, she was overcommitted and overweight, but undernourished, perfectly normal for today’s average busy person. Right? Is that right, Dr. Lewis?

 
Dr. Lewis: Just because it’s common don’t mean it’s normal.

 
Janet Lewis: That’s right. It’s wrong. If you feel at all like Teresa, we must tell you it’s unacceptable.

 
Dr. Lewis: Don’t be Teresa.

 
Janet Lewis: It isn’t right. So what we’re going to help you understand today is that there is joy and a productive life coming, more than just getting through the day, and that we’re here to help you figure out why and what to do about it and that you don’t have to live in a desperate despair of waiting to die. So Dr. Lewis, with that I will let you take it, and you tell people what Teresa should be doing or what happened along the way, and how to get it back.

 
Dr. Lewis: Well, I’m going to take you through a few little rabbit trails and rabbit holes to honor Dr. Amanda, because she loves it when I do that. I’m going to talk about a lot of things, which is not uncommon at all. Fatigue, we hear that all the time, and sometimes we’re too tired to do these things because we work, work, work, work. But we do take a lot of time to play, and sometimes we’re guilty of playing too hard. So folks, don’t forget, some of the best things you can do is get quiet and be still. That’s a very important thing.

 
  Far as fatigue, there’s a long list of symptoms that goes with fatigue, and I’m sure Janet will get further into it than me, but you have to be careful about looking at a list and saying, “Well, that means I have adrenal problems,” or, “That means I have a thyroid problem,” because those same lists can go to a lot of other potential problems. But the things that cause us to have a long-term loss of energy or fatigue is anger, fear, anxiety, guilt, people are depressed, and all kinds of negative emotions.

 
  Now, a lot of that can come physiologically because you don’t have the right kind of nutrients in there for your body to work correctly. Much of that can come because you don’t have the proper probiotics, and you’ve heard me talk about how different types of probiotics can lower your stress levels and lower your cortisol levels. But there’s so many people that create their own negative emotions. They’re constantly worried or they look for what can possibly go wrong, and then they blow it up and make it worse than what it is, which gives you a bad response from your adrenal glands, which eventually will tear up your thyroid too.

 
  You know me. I try to think more about the people that we have that are wonderful and beautiful and make our lives better, but I can’t help but to feel sorry for or to mourn over people that had the answer and died too early. Okay, I’m trying to be nice here. Got one laying in the mortuary now that it’s like, “Well, it ain’t like you didn’t have the answers,” but she didn’t love herself enough to do it. She’s much younger than me. Very, very lovely lady.

 
  How do we get to the point where we love yourselves enough to be able to do some of these things? Be aware of negative emotions. You’ve heard me talk before about different books. I read several dozen, many dozens, per year. Janet just ordered me, I don’t know, six or eight. One of the best books you can read is called Negaholics, and it’s how you get into a negative feedback loop.

 
  People, other ways they get fatigue is over work, which can be physical or mental. I promise you, Janet and I are guilty of that too. We love our job, and sometimes it gets to be quite taxing. So we have to focus on the people that are good and the people that bring us joy, bring us laughter, bring us up. We’re surprised today because we had some from quite a long way away drop by, so thank you, Carl and Leslie. It was seriously a pleasure to meet you. We’ve dealt with this family over the phone for a long time. One of the things that make them winners is they’re consistent. So thank you for dropping by, because I like it. It made me feel better. Thank you.

 
  So focus on what brings you up. I see people that do excessive exercise and destroy their body. Sleep deprivation, we’re going to talk a little bit about sleep. We’ve done that before, and that’s an issue with me. We do have all kinds of new, exciting things about that. Any kind of trauma, surgery, injuries, even minor car wrecks six to eight miles per hour can give you a lot of trauma. Chronic inflammation, and that’s usually gastrointestinal, although it can be other ways. We test the CRP, which is more cardiovascular specific, but that can be kind of a cascade of things that come from …

 
Janet Lewis: Chronic inflammation.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah. Sometimes I’ll stutter and I know I go down rabbit trails, but sometimes it is just because I’m really, really tired. There have been many, many, many real research articles that connect different types of inflammation to different kinds of diseases like cancer, that’s chronic disease, is a major contributing factor, heart attacks and cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s.

 
Janet Lewis: So you’re saying inflammation is the leading culprit there in all of those.

 
Dr. Lewis: Absolutely. You know, the inflammatory cytokines can almost always be a major contributing factor or cause to some of the autoimmune diseases, psoriasis, lupus, asthma, pancreatitis can do that, psoriasis. Oh, Lord. Those people, they think you’re a hero when you fix them, and that takes time and certainly takes a certain measure of faith to pull that off. We’ve got some new allergy supplements.

 
  Of course, we can’t say any of this is meant to treat a symptom or disease because, according to the FDA, the only thing that can heal is a drug. I think the only thing that can heal is God, but it pays, I think, to put some different nutrition and building blocks for your body to do the job. So inflammation, and it means you don’t have enough antioxidants. I can tell all kinds of stories. It’s just where do you want me to go with it. But you have to constantly do this. Well, I’ll just tell a quick story.

 
  Over the weekend, Janet and I went to a seminar on brain function. It was really, really, extremely brilliant people teaching this thing. I was quite impressed. They said to keep the brain healthy, you have to keep the GI tract healthy. The night before we went to this seminar, Janet literally begged me to allow her to take me to the hospital because I’d had a round of diverticulitis. I said, “No, I’m not going to the hospital.” I was very, very ill, but I toughed it out and went, and they said, “Oh, if you want your brain healthy you got to keep your guts healthy.” Of course, that’s a very oversimplification.

 
  We learned a lot, and part of that is the microbiome, or the good probiotics and how to get them in there, and the prebiotics, which I think is a pretty misunderstood term. They showed us research where … You know how they’re talking about these athletes that go into the CTE disease, the brain problems, after post concussion syndrome? They said the ones that just spontaneously went away were the ones that had a good gut microbiome and a healthy GI tract, and the brain healed because of that. So maybe we should pay attention. I’m not saying it’s because you have your head up your rectum, it’s because they really, really are connected. Janet bought me a book on that one too. There are some really, really interesting books that people should pay attention to.

 
  But fatigue is a pretty serious issue. I always think, look for lack of nutrients. Look for too many toxins in the environment. Look to the GI tract. I’ve had people come in literally with tears in their eyes and say, “Do you believe in chronic fatigue syndrome? Do you believe in fibromyalgia?” When I say, “Yes, ma’am,” they cry even more and I think it’s because they think my mustache is ugly. I don’t know, but it’s like they finally had somebody that actually believed that their symptoms are real. I’d say, “Yes ma’am, but we have to normalize your GI tract and we have to do this and this and this, and you cannot do it alone. You have to have a dear friend or spouse or somebody to help you through this, because it took you years to get into that condition and it’s going to take you months to get out of it.”

 
Janet Lewis: Well, does that have anything to do with adrenal fatigue as well? Because I know as you get more inflamed and your body gets more stressed, aren’t your adrenals involved in it?

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah. Usually they go really, really high. I talked to a young lady this morning, and her cortisol was at 22.5, which is like … She says, “What does that mean?” I said, “Do you know how dangerous Interstate 20 is when it’s raining? There’s always somebody has wrecks. There’s deaths very, very commonly between here and Dallas.” Something wrong with I-20, I’m sure. I said, “You’re going 135 miles per hour on a slick I-20 with your cortisol right at a 22.5. You’re going to crash and burn. It’s just a matter of when, so you need to learn to get still, you need to learn to nourish your adrenal glands.” One of the things that Janet doesn’t know that I’m going to talk about is something we use called Adrenall.

 
Janet Lewis: I do know about Adrenall because I forgot to put it in my menagerie of pills that I take, and I do mean menagerie. I take all kind of things to try to stay up and make sure you guys have everything you need, because it’s a pretty big job keeping up with all of this and doing it in a timely manner, which we try to do.

 
Dr. Lewis: She didn’t know I was going to talk about it, though.

 
Janet Lewis: I did not know that, but for a couple of days I accidentally left it out of my supplements and I thought, “What is going on with me?” It’s like I just wanted to go to sleep on my desk. I realized that I had left Adrenall out, which it says only do two a day. Well, I decided to start taking two of them in the morning and two of them at lunch. It’s like instantly peppy again, because it has a lot of adaptogenic herbs in it that make your adrenals feel good.

 
Dr. Lewis: It’s real popular. I mean, people get a really good response. We’re always trying to find bigger, better products, ones that are more absorbable and that cost less. Adrenall seems to be the big kahuna, and I don’t know that we’ll ever get any better than that but we’re always working. But yeah, you have to support your adrenals because if they go to heck in a bucket sooner or later your thyroid is too. Another product that, and this may not even be the time to talk about products. I don’t know, but Janet let me talk so here we go.

 
Janet Lewis: I let him ramble.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah. Rabbit hole, Amanda. She knows who she is. There’s something called Mitocore, which is a product that we just now decided to get in. We’re getting like oh my God results from it, like people that work super, super hard in a toxic environment, like people that work on the pipeline, welding the pipes so they’re inhaling the welding gases, which is full of heavy metals. I’m saying heavy metals because that’s one of the questions that we have that’s going to come up. We’re getting reports back like, “Oh my God, Dr. Lewis. I can’t believe how good I feel. I feel like I was 25 again,” and I’d say, “Well, Jimmy, you’re late 50s and you don’t look 25.” “Well, I’m still big enough to whip you.” I said, “Yep, you really are.”

 
  But it’s got some really, really good stuff, and not just to nourish the body but to extract some of the things that can interfere with the energy production in the cell. The mitochondria’s where the energy’s actually produced. That’s been very, very popular. We can tell if it’s going to be a good product if we get it in and one, two, three weeks later people are saying, “Oh my God, I can tell a huge difference.” Yes, Janet takes a lot of stuff, but literally she looks better than she did 10 years ago and she looked really, really good back then, of course.

 
Janet Lewis: That’s good.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah. But she has to work at it, because if you’re going to work at the pace that we work, you have to supplement your body and you have to be kind to the temple. You have to be willing to spend the time, the energy, the effort, and the money. People don’t mind spending money on things that destroy the temple, but they sure kick and scream about doing something that’s going to make it probably last longer but certainly have a better quality of life. If you don’t have that self love, look to your spouse because they should build you up with that.

 
Janet Lewis: One of the reasons we decided to do this show, because there’s a lot of Teresas out there, like the story we told. We met one yesterday that told me that, she said, “Isn’t it normal to take your kids down to the bus stop and take a nap before you go back home?” I said, “Come again?” She goes, “Oh, yeah. Many times I have to take a nap before I can walk back up to my house from where I just dropped them off at the bus stop.”

 
  Those are signs of adrenal fatigue, and in case you don’t know what some of the signs are, I’m going to give you a few of them so you’ll know. Fatigue and weakness, especially in the morning or afternoon, like you just can’t make it through the day. A suppressed immune system, so for those of you that we run lab on and we’ve told you your immune system’s low, I had that issue. Immune system, your white blood cell count, should optimally be about a seven to an eight. There are many of you out there that are operating at a three to a five on that, so your body’s extremely tired. Increased allergies, and I know many people who go, “Oh, it’s pollen. It’s that time of the year.” Yeah, that does aggravate it but if you’ve already got that going on to start with that’s just like icing on the cake that puts you over the top.

 
Dr. Lewis: Think food allergies, and we do have some new testing coming up that’s going to be really, really good.

 
Janet Lewis: Yes. We don’t want to get you too excited about that yet, but yes we do. We’re going to lunch with a new lab company next week and we’re going to learn about all of the different testing we can do to find out what you are allergic to.

 
Dr. Lewis: For intestinal permeability, for heavy metal testing, for allergies and immunoglobulins. It’s going to be really, really super.

 
Janet Lewis: Then, more signs of adrenal fatigue are muscle and bone loss and muscular weakness.

 
Dr. Lewis: Oops. Must be me.

 
Janet Lewis: Depression is actually a sign of adrenal fatigue. Cravings for foods high in salt, sugar, or fat.

 
Dr. Lewis: I got the stink eye on that one.

 
Janet Lewis: I think you took that and ran. Hormonal imbalances. Skin problems.

 
Dr. Lewis: Keep your mouth shut, guys, if you think your wife has a hormonal imbalance because women that have hormonal imbalances live a lot longer than men that talk about it.

 
Janet Lewis: That’s right. Don’t you forget it. Autoimmune disorders. Increased PMS or menopausal symptoms in women.

 
Dr. Lewis: Keep your mouth shut, men.

 
Janet Lewis: Low sex drive, and that can go for either side. Lightheadedness when getting up from sitting or lying down.

 
Dr. Lewis: If you’re not a ditsy blonde and that is happening, then there may be an issue.

 
Janet Lewis: Decreased ability to handle stress. If that person is getting on your last nerve and they shouldn’t be there yet, there could be an adrenal issue.

 
Dr. Lewis: It’s probably not them. It could be you.

 
Janet Lewis: That’s right. Trouble waking up in the morning despite a full night’s sleep.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah, if you get up in the morning thinking about when you can get back on the couch, you might be a redneck.

 
Janet Lewis: And poor memory.

 
Dr. Lewis: What’d you say? Nevermind.

 
Janet Lewis: The one thing we’d tell you always, always, don’t guess about what’s going on with your health, because so many people are going to go, “Oh, this is me. I have all this.” Yes, it can be. But there could be so many other things going on also, like the lady I told you about yesterday that had to take a nap on her way back from the bus stop. She actually had an autoimmune problem in her thyroid that she did now know she had. So had she not run lab, we would have never known that and neither would she.

 
  So if you’re going, “Oh, lab’s expensive,” well, not through us. When we’re talking about this, you literally could run what we call our comprehensive panel. It’s $298. It includes 12 panels of lab, a functional medicine report, and your complimentary consultation with Dr. Lewis, as well as what we would recommend for supplements so that you would not guess at what you need to take.

 
Dr. Lewis: I put on my cheerleading outfit and cheer you into better health.

 
Janet Lewis: Yes. So if you don’t know what’s wrong, please don’t guess and just go, “Hey, let me just try this.” Or if you try it and it doesn’t work for you, there’s probably some underlying problem there that you’re missing out on. We can order this lab in all but two states in the United States.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah, two or three. It vacillates between the two.

 
Janet Lewis: Yeah, so there’s generally one close to you, so there’s no need for you to guess any longer. Go on our website, greenwisdomhealth.com, and fill out our health survey, and quit living like this because it’s not worth it. That’s what Teresa wound up doing. She wound up getting herself healthy, because I know you’re all wondering what happened to her. Then, we got a couple of questions Dr. Lewis is going to answer for you too.

 
  But Teresa wound up seeing a nutritionist, and she got a reputable nutritional company, which that’s important, and she began eating less meat and cutting out her sugar, and detoxifying her system and pushing out the years of pollution from prescription drugs, processed food, and stress. She started working to cleanse first and then build her damaged digestive tract.

 
  After about four months of gentle, consistent cleansing, she started feeling better, her skin began to glow, her hair regained its luster and body, and I know all you women are always asking me about that, and her hair was thicker, and some of the gray hairs even started to turn brown. So you can start looking youthful again instead of like something in a petrified forest. Teresa got her life back, and that what we want for you too. Dr. Lewis, we have a couple of questions that we need to answer about cleansing. We have Alice that asked about what testing do we have if you have heavy metals in your system. Does that go to our new lab panels that we’re doing?

 
Dr. Lewis: Well, you can get on Ulta Lab. They’re on our website, and go to the lab. They’re a different heavy metal test that we can do. Then, as Janet said, we’re going to lunch next week with a guy to Dallas to open up our options about other testing. Heavy metals, yes. There’s so many different possibilities, and if there’s anybody that’s connected to a hair analysis company put me to the challenge because I’ve done hair analysis two different times. I’ve done two different names, two different sets of symptoms but the same hair. One time, they matched 40%. The other time, they matched 50% but it’s the same hair. They should’ve matched 100%. I’m not sure about hair analysis for that reason, so if you’ve had that company, challenge me. I’ll go through it again.

 
  But we’re about to be hooked up with an even more extensive heavy metal test. Some of the things if you think you may be exposed would be toxic element exposure, which is all of us, but hairdressers, nail techs, people that spray pesticides, welders, etc. Balding hair, bone density problems, cardiovascular disease can definitely be connected to their depression. Dermatitis or skin diseases-

 
Janet Lewis: That’s interesting you say that, because the lady I was telling you about that we found had the autoimmune problem in her thyroid was a cleaning lady. She did cleaning with chemicals.

 
Dr. Lewis: Bad chemicals.

 
Janet Lewis: And they say many times that creates an autoimmune problem.

 
Dr. Lewis: She had the most bizarre … I looked at the lab and said … I won’t tell you what I said, but it’s like it scared me.

 
Janet Lewis: We said, “We can help you.”

 
Dr. Lewis: It was so, so scary what she had, I begged her to share treatment with an endocrinologist. I don’t think what we do is treating everything. I just say throw it in and let God sort it out. But other potential signs of heavy metal toxicity is fatigue. But again, you know that fatigue can be so many other things. But it can be the heavy metals, GI symptoms, high blood pressure, immune function issues, impaired glucose tolerance, which is all of us, with high insulin and/or high blood sugar. Kidney function. That’s almost always a heavy metal. I shouldn’t say almost always. Many times it is. And nutritional deficiencies, because your body’s taking what few nutrients you have, trying to detox the stuff, just not enough of it to do it.

 
Janet Lewis: Cool. Okay. Hopefully that answered Alice’s question. Then we have one from Trisha that said, “Can regular blood work indicate if there is underlying cancer or disease processes that have yet to become symptomatic?”

 
Dr. Lewis: I got a similar question from Maggie also. There are some tests that you can do that would check for antigens, for, say, prostate cancer or breast cancer or ovarian and uterine cancer. I’m certainly not an expert on cancer. I always suggest that you go to a specialist, an oncologist or hematologist. I definitely prefer the ones that will help you do the natural stuff too. But yeah, you can see underlying things before they get symptomatic. Some people say, “But I don’t feel it.” I say, “Well, there’s so many people that didn’t feel their heart disease til five minutes before their heart attack killed them.” Feelings is a very small amount of what’s really going on.

 
  Let me tell you real quick, can these things help? We said earlier about the guy that had 35 on his PSA and he’s got full blown prostatic cancer that’s metastasized into the bone. Well, his PSA, his daughter was crying when she talked to Janet and said, “Well, it went down to, I think it was about a 9, within three weeks. I just got his lab back today and it’s down to 4.27.”

 
Janet Lewis: Oh, that’s awesome. I didn’t even know that.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah, they left the lab at lunch. So folks, I’m not curing cancer. I’m not treating cancer, but you throw things in that your body needs to work with and God can bless it and make you better, hopefully have a longer life, but for sure you can have a higher quality life. So yes, Trisha, you’re doing a good job getting your lab work and a couple of glasses of wine and you won’t have to worry about anything. I love teasing Trisha.

 
Janet Lewis: So I guess the answer to that question is there are markers that you can tell. If you don’t get something under control, you have a better chance of having cancer down the road. Would that be an accurate statement on blood work?

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah, and maybe we need to go back and finish the podcast we didn’t finish on cancer and some of the statistics. I’d like to do that, because that was the one I didn’t get in enough Stevenisms. I got a lot of smart aleck Stevenisms I’d like to put in on that one.

 
Janet Lewis: We just know if the body stays in an inflamed state for a long period of time and a lot of the lab values are not getting help, the body can only go so long on a wing and a prayer, literally. At some point, it can’t take any more, so that’s when you get cancer and those kind of things.

 
Dr. Lewis: Yeah, disease is just adaptive physiology, and it’s adapted to bad situation. But yes, Trisha, I think you can see some of this coming. I mean, I know you can see a lot of it coming. It’s not necessarily what you feel.

 
Janet Lewis: And the issue with nutrition is you don’t know what you missed out on if you start taking something because people say, “Well, I don’t know if I had that or not.” Well, none of us do. We just know that when people walk into this office you can always tell the ones that’s been taking nutrition for many years, because they look completely different than people that are just learning about it.

 
Dr. Lewis: Amen.

 
Janet Lewis: So on that note, we hope you’ve enjoyed the show. We hope you’re not tired, and if you are tired, you know how to now get help, so there’s no need to live like that in quiet desperation. We hope you guys have a very blessed week, and we’ll talk to you here next time on the Green Wisdom Health Show. Have a blessed week.
