Hello Beautifuls,
Chronic fatigue is an issue that comes up with many of my clients. But recently it has been astounding how many women I see that list that as their number one concern. Feeling overwhelmingly and chronically tired is a big sign that something is out of balance.
I write weekly advice posts for WAV (Women As visionaries) magazine and I addressed some of the causes and recommendations for chronic fatigue and wanted to share them with you.
I highly recommend to enlist the help of a health coach as there can be many different and complex reasons for chronic fatigue and the solution is not a quick and simple one, but an accumulations of many changes and practices.
I will be happy to support you if it is an issue for you. Please email me at contact@healthnutgirl.com if you’d like to discuss how.
Here are my 2 part chronic fatigue posts for WAV magazine, it was an answer to one of their readers that I’m sure many of you can relate to.
PART ONE
ASK HEALTH NUT GIRL

Dear Health Nut Girl,
Do you have any recommendations for overcoming chronic fatigue?
~ Cynthia
Hi Beautiful Cynthia,
Feeling chronically tired can be a sign of many health issues, please contact your Dr. for a complete check up.
If everything turns up ok, dig deeper. Your body can be manifesting this condition to send you an important massage. Create some quite time, open a journal and write:
Dear body, Why are you tired? What are you trying to tell me?
Some common reasons I see for chronic fatigue are:
~ An inability to say no, so your body says no by being debilitatingly tired.
~ Having an intolerable situation in your life that needs to be resolved.
~ A past trauma that is surfacing to be seen and healed.
Write down whatever comes to mind, be open to see more that meets the eye and Fall In Love With A Healthy Life.
xoxo Rachel

Dear Health Nut Girl,
Do you have any recommendations for overcoming chronic fatigue?
~ Cynthia
Hi Beautiful Cynthia,
After exploring internal reasons for chronic fatigue look at external practices that are draining vs restoring your energy.
Things that deplete you:
~Too much time in front of screens
~Staying indoors
~Processed and refined foods, especially sugar, flour, caffeine and alcohol
~Doing the wrong exercise for you
Things that restore you:
~Time in nature
~Spiritual practices like meditation and prayer
~Journaling
~Whole foods, especially leafy green vegetables, root vegetables and homemade broths
~Sleep
~Yoga
Start with one or two practices that you feel drawn to and Fall In Love With A Healthy Life.
xoxo Rachel
