Energy is life and everything in life requires energy.Do you feel energized? Where do you get your energy from? Do you ever wish you had more energy?Do you remember a time when you didn't NEED coffee or energy drinks because you had natural vitality?But then life (aka: school/college, work, weddings, marriage and children) happened and our life force gets sucked dry.So, how do we begin to reverse the damage?Follow these 6 steps and you'll be feeling more energized in no time:Step 1: BREATHE DEEPLY MORE

  • Breathing Exercises can calm your nervous system helping you cope with stress

Step 2: GET TO BED EARLIER

  • If you don't go to bed before 11pm your cortisol levels (the hormone involved in energizing you) spikes again which can disrupt sleep patterns and make you more tired- a viscous cycle.

Step 3: 'DEFLAME' YOUR BODY

  • Prolonged inflammation in the body exhausts the adrenals, so cool inflammation by identifying trigger foods and supplementing with anti-inflammatory foods like vitamin C, turmeric and omega 3 fatty acids.

Step 4: STAY HYDRATED

  • Your adrenals secrete hormones that regulate water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body which helps you stay hydrated.

Step 5: REPLACE CRITICAL NUTRIENTS

  • Necessary sources of fuel for your adrenals include vitamin D, selenium, magnesium, and zinc.

Step 6: SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE

  • At the risk of sounding clichè, make a conscious choice to see the glass half full as opposed to half empty!
