Fatigue, Resilience and Adaptogens

‘End of year fatigue’ is being experienced by many of us at the moment, and many are compounded by ‘Burn-out,’ as well as ‘Long Haul COVID.’ The holiday season can be a whirlwind of parties, shopping, and family gatherings, leaving you feeling drained and in need of a fresh start. But don't worry, you're not alone. Many people experience end-of-year fatigue and struggle to find the energy to kickstart the new year. The end of the year can often bring a sense of fatigue that leaves us feeling unmotivated and mentally drained.

Be sure to incorporate some parasympathetic nervous system stimulation in your day: deep breathing, meditation, walking in nature, Mindfulness, Yoga – all of these can help curb that ‘fight and flight’ response and help you regain your resilience.

Adaptogens are herbs that help support the HPA (hypothalamic -pituitary-adrenal) axis and can help for symptoms such stress-related fatigue, brain fog, low mood, anxiety and low motivation. These powerful herbs and plants have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to help the body adapt to stressors and promote overall well-being. And now, modern science is catching up, revealing the incredible benefits of these adaptogenic superstars.

Whether you're struggling with stress, low energy, or immune system imbalances, adaptogens may hold the key to unlocking your body's full potential. From popular adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola to lesser-known gems like holy basil and schisandra, there's an adaptogen out there to suit your unique needs.
