Unfortunately, there are many things it could be.

Doctors are only so helpful (and most are even less so)

Here's a list of things I tried that sorta helped with my tiredness spells. Recommend doing any of these changes separately:

- Sugar fast for 4 weeks (helps reset your cravings)

- Switched from coffee to green tea

- Reduced caffeine intake to one a day or 3x a week

- Acupuncture

- 15 min walks or bike ride every day

- Omega 3 oils

- Higher intake of minerals I was deficient in (eating more green vegetables)

(spoiler alert, I had undiagnosed ADHD which contributed to my high anxiety, which gave me waves of alert/exhausted)




Sugar fast.... Seems impossible. Most I've done is one week and it was absolutely horrible. I was always hungry, despite eating a lot.


Yeah, it's pretty rough the first week. It can help to modify the definition of sugar to be processed sugars.

I kept fruit in. Some people allow honey
