Do you wake up tired, depend on coffee to push through the morning, and crash again by mid-afternoon? Dr. Josh Axe explains why constant exhaustion is not necessarily a normal part of aging—and reveals 10 hidden energy drains that may be keeping your cells from producing the fuel you need.
In this episode, Dr. Axe breaks down the roles of mitochondrial dysfunction, blood-sugar swings, low iron stores, thyroid imbalance, poor-quality sleep, chronic stress, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, inactivity and inflammation. He also shares the laboratory markers, foods, movement strategies and supplements he uses to identify and address the underlying cause of fatigue.
