With our busy, always on lives, it seems that more and more of us are facing constant tiredness and fatigue on a regular
basis.
For many people, they just take this in their stride as part of modern life, but for others the impact can be crippling and can
have a serious effect on their sense of wellbeing, health and productivity.
In this article, I’ll share some of the most common causes of constant tiredness and fatigue and give you some guidance and
action steps you can take to overcome some of the symptoms of fatigue.

Why Am I Feeling Fatigued?
Fatigue is extreme tiredness resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness. It is a reduction in the ef ciency of a
muscle or organ after prolonged activity.[1]
It can affect anyone, and most adults will experience fatigue at some point in their life.
For many people, fatigue is caused by a combination of lifestyle, social, psychological and general wellbeing issues rather
than an underlying medical condition.
Although fatigue is sometimes described as tiredness, it is different to just feeling tired or sleepy. Everyone feels tired at
some point, but this is usually resolved with a nap or a few nights of good sleep. Someone who is sleepy may also feel
temporarily refreshed after exercising. If you are getting enough sleep, good nutrition and exercising regularly but still nd it
hard to perform, concentrate or be motivated at your normal levels, you may be experiencing a level of fatigue that needs
further investigation.
Symptoms of Fatigue
Fatigue can cause a vast range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms including:
chronic tiredness, exhaustion or sleepiness
mental blocks
lack of motivation
headache
dizziness
muscle weakness
slowed re exes and responses
impaired decision-making and judgement
moodiness, such as irritability
impaired hand-to-eye coordination
reduced immune system function
blurry vision
short-term memory problems
poor concentration
reduced ability to pay attention to the situation at hand
Causes of Fatigue
The wide range of causes that can trigger fatigue include:

Medical causes: Constant exhaustion, tiredness and fatigue may be a sign of an underlying illness, such as a thyroid
disorder, heart disease, anemia or diabetes.
Lifestyle-related causes: Being overweight and a lack of regular exercise can lead to feelings of fatigue. Lack of sleep
and overcommitting can also create feelings of excessive tiredness and fatigue.
Workplace-related causes: Workplace and nancial stress in a variety of forms can lead to feelings of fatigue.
Emotional concerns and stress: Fatigue is a common symptom of mental health problems, such as depression and
grief, and may be accompanied by other signs and symptoms, including irritability and lack of motivation.
Fatigue can also be caused by a number of factors working in combination.
Medical Causes of Fatigue

If you have made lifestyle changes to increase your energy and still feel exhausted and fatigued, it may be time to seek
guidance from your doctor.
Here are a few examples of illnesses that can cause ongoing fatigue. Seek medical advice if you suspect you have a health
problem:
Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which you don’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body’s
tissues. It is a common cause of fatigue in women.
Having anemia may make you feel tired and weak.
There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from
mild to severe.[2]
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition that can cause persistent, unexplained fatigue that interferes with daily
activities for more than six months.
This is a chronic condition with no one-size- ts-all treatment, but lifestyle changes can often help ease some symptoms of
fatigue.[3]
Diabetes
Diabetes can cause fatigue with either high or low blood sugars. When your sugars are high, they remain in the bloodstream
instead of being used for energy, which makes you feel fatigued. Low blood sugar (glucose) means you may not have
enough fuel for energy, also causing fatigue.[4]
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where sufferers brie y stop breathing for short periods during sleep. Most people are
not aware this is happening, but it can cause loud snoring, and daytime fatigue.
Being overweight, smoking, and drinking alcohol can all worsen the symptoms of sleep apnea.[5]
Thyroid disease
An underactive thyroid gland means you have too little thyroid hormone (thyroxine) in your body. This makes you feel tired
and you could also put on weight and have aching muscles and dry skin.[6]
Lifestyle-Related Causes of Fatigue

Common lifestyle factors that can cause fatigue include:
Lack of sleep
Too much sleep
Alcohol and drugs
Sleep disturbances
Lack of regular exercise and sedentary behaviour
Poor diet
Workplace-Related Causes of Fatigue

Common workplace issues that can cause fatigue include:
Shift work: Our body is designed to sleep during the night. A shift worker may confuse their circadian clock by working
when their body is programmed to be asleep.
Poor workplace practices: This may include long work hours, hard physical labour, irregular working hours (such as
rotating shifts), a stressful work environment, boredom or working alone.
Workplace stress – This can be caused by a wide range of factors including job dissatisfaction, heavy workload,
con icts with bosses or colleagues, bullying, or threats to job security.
Burnout: This could be striving too hard on one area of your life while neglecting others, which leads to a life that feels
out of balance.
Psychological Causes of Fatigue

Psychological factors are present in many cases of extreme tiredness and fatigue. These may include:
Depression: Depression is characterised by severe and prolonged feelings of sadness, dejection and hopelessness.
People who are depressed commonly experience chronic fatigue.
Anxiety and stress: Someone who is constantly anxious or stressed keeps their body in overdrive. The constant
ooding of adrenaline exhausts the body, and fatigue sets in.
Grief: Losing a loved one causes a wide range of emotions including shock, guilt, depression, despair and loneliness.
How to Tackle Constant Fatigue

Here are 12 ways you can start tackling the causes of fatigue and start feeling more energetic.
1. Tell The Truth

Some people can numb themselves to the fact that they are overtired or fatigued all the time. In the long run, this won’t help
you.
To give you the best chance to overcome or eliminate fatigue, you must diagnose and tell the truth about the things that are
draining your energy, making you tired or causing constant fatigue.

 Scroll down to continue reading article 
Once you’re honest with yourself about the activities you’re doing in your life that you nd irritating, energy-draining, and
make you tired on a regular basis you can make a commitment to stop doing them.
The help that you need to overcome fatigue is available to you, but not until you tell the truth about it. The rst person you
have to sell on getting rid of the causes of fatigue is yourself.
One starting point is to diagnose the symptoms. When you start feeling stressed, overtired or just not operating at your
normal energy levels make a note of:
How you feel
What time of day it is
What may have contributed to your fatigue
How your mind and body reacts
This analysis may help you identify, understand and then eliminate very speci c causes.
2. Reduce Your Commitments

When we have too many things on our plate personally and professionally, we can feel overstretched, causing physical and
mental fatigue.
If you have committed to things you really don’t want to do, this causes irritability and low emotional engagement. Stack
these up throughout your day and week, then your stress levels will rise.
When these commitments have deadlines associated with them, you may be trying to cram in far too much in a short period
of time. This creates more stress and can affect your decision making ability.
Start being realistic about how much you can get done. Either reduce the commitments you have or give yourself more time
to complete them in.
3. Get Clear On Your Priorities

If working on your list of to-do’s or goals becomes too overwhelming, start reducing and prioritizing the things that matter
most.
Start with prioritizing just 3 things every day. When you complete those 3 things, you’ll get a rush of energy and your
con dence will grow.
If you’re trying to juggle too many things and are multi-tasking, your energy levels will drop and you’ll struggle to maintain
focus.
Un nished projects can make you self-critical and feel guilty which drops energy levels further, creating inaction.
Make a list of your 3 MIT (Most Important Tasks) for the next day before you go to bed. This will stop you overcommitting
and get you excited about what the next day can bring.
4. Express More Gratitude

Gratitude and con dence are heavily linked. Just being thankful for what you have and what you’ve achieved increases
con dence and makes you feel more optimistic.
It can help you improve your sense of wellbeing, which can bring on feelings of joy and enthusiasm.
Try starting a gratitude journal or just note down 3 things you’re grateful for every day.
5. Focus On Yourself
Exhaustion and fatigue can arrive by focusing solely on other people’s needs all the time, rather than worrying about and
focusing on what you need (and want).
There are work commitments, family commitments, social commitments. You may start with the best intentions, to put in
your best performance at work, to be an amazing parent and friend, to simply help others.
But sometimes, we extend ourselves too much and go beyond our personal limits to help others. That’s when constant
exhaustion can creep up on us. Which can make us more fatigued.
We all want to help and do our best for others, but there needs to be some balance. We also need to take some time out just
for ourselves to recharge and rejuvenate.
6. Set Aside Rest and Recovery Time

Whether it’s a couple of hours, a day off, a mini-break or a proper holiday, time off is essential to help us recover, recharge
and refocus.
Recovery time helps fend off mental fatigue and allows us to simply kick back and relax.
The key here, though, is to remove ourselves from the daily challenges that bring on tiredness and fatigue. Here’s how.
Can you free yourself up completely from work and personal obligations to just rest and recover?
7. Take a Power Nap

When you’re feeling tired or fatigued and you have the ability to take a quick 20-minute nap, it could make a big difference
to your performance for the rest of the day.
Napping can improve learning, memory and boost your energy levels quickly.
This article on the bene t of napping is a useful place to start if you want to learn more: How a 20-Minute Nap at Work
Makes You Awake and Productive the Whole Day
8. Take More Exercise

The simple act of introducing some form of physical activity into your day can make a huge difference. It can boost energy
levels, make you feel much better about yourself and can help you avoid fatigue.
Find something that ts into your life, be that walking, going to the gym, running or swimming.
The key is to ensure the exercise is regular and that you are emotionally engaged and committed to stick with it.
You could also walk more which will help clear your head and shift your focus away from stressful thoughts.
9. Get More Quality Sleep

To avoid tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue, getting enough quality sleep matters.
Your body needs sleep to recharge. Getting the right amount of sleep every night can improve your health, reduce stress
levels and help us improve our memory and learning skills.
My previous article on The Bene ts of Sleep You Need to Know will give you some action steps to start improving your
sleep.
10. Improve Your Diet

Heavy or fatty meals can make you feel sluggish and tired, whilst some foods or eating strategies do just the opposite.
Our always on lives have us reaching for sweets or other sugary snacks to give us a burst of energy to keep
going. Unfortunately, that boost fades quickly which can leave you feeling depleted and wanting more.
On the other hand, whole grains and healthy unsaturated fats supply the reserves you can draw on throughout the day.
To keep energy up and steady, it’s a good idea to limit re ned sugar and starches.
Eating small meals and healthy snacks every few hours throughout the day provides a steady supply of nutrients to body
and brain. It’s also important not to skip breakfast.
Eating a balanced diet helps keep your blood sugar in a normal range and prevents that sluggish feeling when your blood
sugar drops.
11. Manage Your Stress Levels

Stress is one of the leading causes of exhaustion and fatigue, and can seriously affect your health.
When you have increased levels of stress at work and at home, it’s easy to feel exhausted all the time.
Identifying the causes of stress and then tackling the problems should be a priority.
My article on How to Help Anxiety When Life is Stressing You Out shares 16 strategies you can use to overcome stress.
12. Get Hydrated
Sometimes we can be so busy that we forget to keep ourselves fully hydrated.
Water makes up about 60 percent of your body weight and is essential in maintaining our body’s basic functions.
If we don’t have enough water, it can adversely affect our mental and physical performance, which leads to tiredness and
fatigue.
The recommended daily amount is around two litres a day, so to stay well hydrated keep a water bottle with you as much as
possible.
The Bottom Line
These 12 tips can help you reduce your tiredness and feeling of fatigue. Some will work better than others as we are all
different, whilst others can be incorporated together in your daily life.
If you’ve tried to make positive changes to reduce fatigue and you still feel tired and exhausted, it may be time to consider
making an appointment with your doctor to discuss your condition.

Understanding Intermittent Fasting Bene ts: More Than Just Weight Loss

I’ve had extensive experience with Intermittent Fasting over the years — from utilizing it for signi cant weight loss, to then
gaining muscle, to other health bene ts as of late. When I rst began fasting, the results were so exciting I felt compelled to
produce a youtube video, which is now approaching 1 million views! Since then, I have produced several more videos on
intermittent fasting and its bene ts, and I encourage you to visit my youtube channel to delve deeper.
In the proceeding article, we will examine Intermittent Fasting (“IF”) from several perspectives including physical health,
mental health, and overall well being.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. What Is Intermittent Fasting ("IF")

2. How Does Intermittent Fasting Work?
3. Myths About Intermittent Fasting
4. How and When to Use Intermittent Fasting
5. Bene ts of Intermittent Fasting
6. Conclusion
What Is Intermittent Fasting (“IF”)
Simply put, it’s restricting your food and albeit drink consumption to a certain time of the day which is called your ‘eating
window’. There’s another term for this approach to eating called ‘time restricted eating’. The two basically mean the same
thing, however Intermittent Fasting stresses a bit more on longer fasting periods ranging between 14 hours all the way up to
48 hours in some cases.[1]
Personally, I feel most people would bene t from fasting between 14-18 hours, as beyond that can be stressful on the body
if you have not already established conditioning and patterns around fasting.
How Does Intermittent Fasting Work?
Intermittent Fasting focuses on keeping your body in a catabolic state; one whereby your body has no food or resources for
energy, so it begins to source energy from excess fat.
This is the opposite of being in an anabolic state, which is when you have consumed food and your body is actively
processing and breaking down the nutrients and fats from that food and allocating those resources accordingly.
There is a large body of evidence suggesting that fasting can bene t both the body and brain, but almost all research has
been conducted on animals, such as mice and rats. Researchers, such as myself, studying fasting have been calling for and
awaiting more human studies to verify the results found while examining animals.
Myths About Intermittent Fasting
Myth #1: Starvation Mode?

Over the years, I’ve heard terms like ‘starvation mode’ thrown around with a lose relationship to IF, and this term is not
accurate to how the body handles fasting and time restricted eating. Some people believe that your body will go into some
sort of starvation mode, and by the time you actually do consume food, it will all be allocated to fat deposits and cause you
to gain weight.
I’ve debunked this myth so many times with people when having conversations about weight loss, and I’m starting to think
that the myth is actually going away! In large part due to articles such as this one which are geared towards informing the
general public of the bene ts of time restricted eating.
Myth #2: Extremely Low Energy?

Another common myth is that energy levels are extremely low when fasting. This one spawns from the notion that your
body needs food constantly for energy and to survive. Let me debunk this by stating that your body is much more resilient
than that!
You can technically go several days without consuming food, as long as you are having adequate amounts of water. In my
experience, over the years with time restricted eating, energy levels are sustained as long as the proper macro and micro
nutrients are consumed during each eating window.
If you leave yourself de cient from each eating window by way of not consuming enough calories or nutrients, then yes, of
course energy levels will be down the proceeding day.
However if your focusing on consuming high quality nutrients and hitting all your ‘numbers’ during your eating window,
energy will certainly not be an issue.
How and When to Use Intermittent Fasting
All too often I hear people pushing the limits right away and going for 18, 20, 24 hour fasts within their rst week of
adopting the practice, and to be perfectly frank this is not a good idea.
I understand some people get overly excited about the results and the hype around intermittent fasting, however the best
practice is to condition oneself by slowly easing into the process. I’ve suggested starting with 14 hours fasts, utilizing mostly
sleeping time, for those starting intermittent fasting.
After a week or so of 14 hours daily fasts, gradually move to 16 hours the second week, then 18hours the third week, and if
feeling really ambitious and seeing amazing results, move up to 20 hours fasts on some days. That means consuming all
calories for the day within a 4 hour eating window!
Where many fall short with fasting is being able to consume the proper amount of overall calories including adequate
volumes of protein, carbs, fats (macro-nutrients), and micro-nutrients. Many do not consume the correct amount of food
during the eating window, or they don’t space meals out correctly.
There’s a few issues that can arise when one doesn’t consume proper nutrients within the eating window, let us examine
some:
1. The body lacking adequate energy to sustain multiple days, or long term fasting
2. The body is beginning to lose weight from muscle because it does not have enough nutrients to sustain energy levels
3. When not spacing out meals, the body is not having enough time to digest food properly and thus not fully absorbing
nutrients
Another problem which arises from my experience is poor eating habits being carried-over to intermittent fasting.
Someone has a crappy diet and thinks that by implementing time restricted eating or IF, they’ll start leaning up like
Hollywood movie stars.. this is simply poor logic!
If serious about getting results in a healthy way, the diet should be cleaned up. This is because your body only has a certain
amount of time to consume food (eating window), and if that time is being clogged-up with processing junk food, you won’t
be reaping the bene ts of IF.
Having said this, I do admit to having fast-food during eating windows at times, and though this can be a quick way to pack
daily calories, and macro-nutrients, there is a signi cant lack of micro-nutrients; so when I go this route, it’s critical that my
vitamin and mineral intake be on point!

Lately I have been consuming more carbohydrates and generally more calories during my eating windows because for the
past 2 years, my goals have shifted from weight loss and leaning-up, to building lean muscle mass.
Putting on weight and building lean muscle mass while doing intermittent fasting is a tricky en-devour, mainly because the
nature of IF is one of weight loss, fat loss, and ramping-up metabolism. What’s tricky is that at this stage of my life, my body
has become quite ef cient at processing and breaking down foods quickly; metabolic ef ciency is quite high.
It didn’t start that way, in fact it was quite slow for the rst couple months, but after training steadily and implementing time
restricted eating for 6 months, I was well on my way to becoming a metabolic beast.
Now after having implemented intermittent fasting for well over 4 years, my body is quite adaptive and ef cient at stripping
nutrients from food, and leaving me with necessary fuel (carbohydrates and fats) for training.
My current goals entail acquiring 0.5 – 1lb of lean body mass (muscle) every month, totaling around 10lbs of lean muscle per
year. This is very reasonable and attainable, however it certainly is challenging when also incorporating intermittent fasting.
IF does help with the production of new muscle tissue by way of improving the production of human growth hormone (HGH)
and testosterone, however, it also burns up any excess fats very quickly. So at this stage I nd myself consuming in excess of
4,000 calories on a given day, and up wards of 6,000 calories on training days – that’s a lot of eating!
The challenge then arises of how does one consume 6,000 calories in a 4 or 6 hour eating window? Lot’s of caloric dense
foods helps, however they lack nutrients in most cases as I had noted above.
Bene ts of Intermittent Fasting
The bene ts of fasting are wide ranging, from weight loss (of course), to improved muscle development, to reduced stress
levels, to clearer skin, and much more! Of course, this all comes if one is following the correct protocols for intermittent
fasting as we have examined earlier in this article.
Let’s take a quick look at some of the key bene ts of intermittent fasting in this video rst:
Fasting has been proven to improve biomarkers of disease, reduce oxidative stress and preserve learning and memory
functioning, according to Mark Mattson, senior investigator for the National Institute on Aging, part of the US National
Institutes of Health. Mattson investigated the health bene ts of IF on the cardiovascular system and brain in rodents, and
like many others, has called for “well-controlled human studies” in people “across a range of body mass indexes”.[2]
Mattson has contributed to several other IF studies and caloric restriction. In one, overweight adults with moderate asthma
consumed only 20% of their normal calorie intake on alternate days.[3] Participants who adhered to the diet lost 8% of their
initial body weight over eight weeks. The participants also saw a decrease in markers of oxidative stress, in ammation, and
improvement of asthma-related symptoms and several quality-of-life indicators.
In another study, Mattson and colleagues explored the effects of intermittent and continuous energy restriction on weight
loss and various biomarkers (for conditions such as breast cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease) among young
overweight woman.[4] They found that time restricted eating, or intermittent restriction, was as effective as continuous
restriction for improving weight loss, insulin sensitivity and other health biomarkers.
Mattson’s research has also been in the direction of determining the protective bene ts of fasting to neurons. For instance, if
you don’t eat for 10 to 16 hours, your body will seek its fat deposits for energy, and fatty acids called ketones will be
released into the bloodstream. This has been shown to protect memory and learning functionality as well as slow disease
processes in the brain according to Mattson. From my own person experience of intermittent fasting I can attest to increased
mental alertness and acuity.
Something that most won’t consider is the ‘detox’ and ‘cleanse’ aspects to intermittent fasting. I know you must be thinking
“oh man, not another cleanse pitch”.. and I hear ya! But you do actually clean up the gut and digestive tract quite a bit with
fasting.
You can do this with dry fasting, or water fasting (which I’m more of a proponent of). I would only recommend dry fasting for
a maximum of 24 hours – and this is done by not even consuming water during your fasting period. There are two purposes
to dry fasting:
1. You deprive the body of moisture which can clean-up the gut by not allowing moisture-thriving bacteria to form or
sustain existence. Any unhealthy bacteria will in essence die-off when there is no food or water to sustain it.
2. Many claim that standard or dry fasting yields mental clarity which can be bene cial for spiritual practices. Personally
I have had some experience with this, where during prolonged fasting periods I feel much more in-tune with my sense
perceptions, and albeit cognitive alertness.
When I perform my ritualistic meditations such as transcendental meditation in the morning, or any time of the day while
fasted, I feel much more deeply connected and dialed-in with the meditation itself. This could be due to a lack of
substances/external stimuli such as food or water that the body needs to allocate resources to process.
Perhaps when the body isn’t breaking down nutrients, and left to rest, it has the ability to hone-in on any given task with
much more clarity and ef ciency.
Conclusion
If you want to lose weight, improve mental health, and overall well being – consider trying Intermittent Fasting, but as
mentioned, start gradually and work your way to longer fasting periods as time goes on.
The main bene t of fasting is arguable and varies depending on an individuals goals – Do you want to lose weight? Do you
want to improve metabolic ef ciency? Or do you want to improve overall energy levels? There’s lots to choose from in terms
of overarching bene ts.
