If you are, you’re not alone. People complain about fatigue more often than just about anything else. Causes of fatigue can come from several sources, such as your thyroid, an allergy, or carbohydrate overload. What’s not commonly known is that imbalances in these areas can be addressed by, and respond well to, integrative wellness therapies.

Many people find profoundly new levels of energy and vitality once their food intake is adjusted, allergy patterns are diminished or thyroid function is normalized. But for some, the feelings of stress and fatigue may persist.

“Fight or Flight”
In these other cases, the cause may be traced to the body’s “fight or flight” syndrome – that vestige of our caveman heritage – and its sometimes damaging effect on the adrenals. Surprisingly, our bodies experience the same stresses from the pressures, demands and stimuli of today’s fast-paced lifestyles as our ancestors did when they were facing the business end of an angry mastodon in the proverbial forest primeval.

The main difference? Our forebears harnessed the stress, transforming it into energy and strength to either physically conquer the adversary (“fight”) or run like the wind away from the danger (“flight”). We modern day humans, on the other hand, typically do nothing physical to dissipate the stress. Instead, we pop a pill or have yet another doughnut or cup of coffee … and the stresses keep piling on all day. Consequently, our adrenals are in a constant state of readiness for crisis … that is, until we sit down for a moment at the end of a typically grueling day and they collapse in utter exhaustion.

At DCIW, we look beyond symptoms. First we pinpoint the cause of your fatigue. Then we treat that cause gently, incrementally and naturally. When the problem is exhausted adrenals, we apply proven natural remedies designed to stimulate the adrenals and restore them to proper functioning.
