When you’re tired, your body will struggle to digest your food properly. That’s because your body must manufacture enzymes to break down your food into pieces it can recognize and use. The more tired you are, the fewer enzymes you can make. However, God graciously provided enzymes in our food, so even tired women can […]
“Anne, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I can’t cook much because I am so exhausted and in a lot of pain.

You’ve probably heard that too much saturated fat is bad for you. Would you be surprised if I told you that you absolutely need saturated fat and even cholesterol in order to produce the hormones you need to function each day?

Just a few weeks ago, the Hormone Foundation released a “fact sheet” about adrenal fatigue — that has a lot more myths in it than facts. I wanted to take a few moments today to address some of their “facts.” Who is the Hormone Foundation? According to their own website, “The Hormone Foundation, the public […]
I have been repeatedly asked (begged?) by visitors to my website to address pregnancy and adrenal fatigue.

I was intending to give you a full-length article today, but I’m sick and have had an exhausting week. So I think I’ll “practice what I preach” and give you the short version instead of the long version. It will probably be easier for you to absorb anyway!

Last week we began discussing how to recover from fatigue, and you’ll remember that it all hinges on spending less energy than you make. In other words, you have to STOP doing the things that deplete your body of energy and START doing the things that nourish your body. Like a checking account, you can’t […]
If I had a quarter for every email I’ve received in the last few weeks, asking me to hurry and tell how to recover from fatigue, I’d be a rich woman! Today’s your day. I’m going to cover the basic steps to beating fatigue, although a few of these steps deserve more detail than I […]

Another hormone, DHEA, must also be maintained at a certain level, since hormones such as […]
