What causes low energy?
While many of us attribute low energy to age, stress, and lack of sleep, there`s often more happening beneath the surface.
Factors like insulin levels, HbA1c, B12, total protein, magnesium, vitamin D, TSH, T4, T3, ferritin (iron) and transferrin saturation play crucial roles in our energy and overall vitality.
Optimal levels include:
Insulin < 7
Hba1c <5.7
B12 above 300 pg/mL.
Protein: 75 g/L
Magnesium: 1.0 mmol/L
Iron: 13-30umol/L
Ferritin: 30-400 ug/mL
Transferrin Saturation: 20-30%
TSH: <2
T4:T3 - 3:1 Ratio
If you`ve been struggling with low energy levels and haven`t been able to get to the root of it on your own, I`d highly suggest testing your biomarkers as a baseline for where your body is at.
Unsure where to start, or how to do this?
Inner Vitality, my 8 week program will measure 50 of the key biomarkers (including the above) and give you everything you need to get tested, what the optimal levels are, and what protocol to follow to restore balance. We kick off on Aug 5.

Top micronutrient deficiencies that drive low energy levels:
- Vitamin D: Essential for energy and immune function. Many people, especially those with limited sun exposure, are deficient. I recommend Liposomal Vitamin D3 BioCeuticals spray for optimal absorption. Plus include foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and grass fed dairy in your diet.
- Iron: Perimenopausal women tend to have very heavy periods, causing them to lose much more iron than usual. Iron is crucial for oxygen transport in the blood, impacting energy levels. Top food sources include lean red meat, spinach, lentils, and quinoa.
- B12: As we age, our ability to absorb B12 declines, leading to fatigue and neurological issues. B12 is vital for red blood cell formation and energy production. Designs for Health B12 spray is a great option. Incorporate foods like beef, salmon, fortified cereals, and dairy products for a natural boost.
- Magnesium: The most common deficiency that we often overlook. Magnesium is required for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including the absorption of other minerals. It’s crucial for energy production, muscle function, and overall vitality. I recommend Metagenics CalmX for supplementation. Plus add more leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains to your meals for a natural source.
Prioritizing these nutrients can make a significant difference in your energy levels and overall well-being, and if you`re unsure about where your levels are at or how much to supplement... Get your levels tested! 💖 DM me for more info on how. 🙏🏼
So often I hear, `My thyroid has been checked and it`s fine.` when in reality, it hasn`t been checked thoroughly.
TSH, or `thyroid stimulating hormone,` is your brain`s way of communicating with your thyroid to produce thyroid hormones T4 (inactive) and T3 (active).
All TSH, T4 and T3 must be tested for a more accurate picture, when most often, only TSH is checked.
Unfortunately, these crucial hormones are not always tested and can be easily missed.
A sluggish thyroid, also known as hypothyroidism can still present with a TSH that is perfectly in range, but we would only see this through your T3 and T4 levels. It does so when the thyroid gland doesnt produce enough thyroid hormones.
Common signs of hypothyroidism include:
1. Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak.
2. Weight Gain: Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
3. Cold Intolerance: Sensitivity to cold temperatures.
4. Dry Skin: Skin that is dry, rough, or scaly.
5. Hair Changes: Hair that is thinning, dry, or brittle.
6. Constipation: Difficulty having regular bowel movements.
7. Depression: Feeling unusually sad or depressed.
8. Memory Problems: Difficulty concentrating or remembering things.
9. Muscle Weakness: General weakness or muscle aches.
10. Joint Pain: Stiff or painful joints.
11. Puffy Face: Swelling or puffiness in the face.
12. Hoarseness: Changes in voice, such as becoming hoarse.
13. Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Heavier or irregular menstrual periods.
14. Elevated Blood Cholesterol: High levels of cholesterol in the blood.
15. Slow Heart Rate: A slower than normal heart rate.

✔️test your thyroid biomarkers
✔️help you understand if they are in range, and
