Mindsip insights from this episode:
Identify adrenal fatigue through 'hangry' symptoms
The single best symptom to identify adrenal fatigue is getting 'hangry,' which is the feeling of being irritable when you are hungry.
Identify hypothalamus issues with simple fatigue test
If you are exhausted but cannot sleep, you have likely tripped a key circuit breaker in your brain called the hypothalamus, which distinguishes chronic fatigue from normal tiredness.
Skip costly nutritional tests; opt for high-quality multivitamin powder
Extensive and expensive nutritional testing is often unreliable; it's more effective to simply take a high-quality multivitamin powder to address potential deficiencies.
Prioritize patient-reported symptoms over lab results for accurate diagnosis
Patient-reported symptoms and responses to treatment are often more reliable for diagnosis than fancy lab tests, which can show significant variation even for the same person.
Conduct emotional energy audit to enhance recovery
To begin recovery, create two lists of your daily activities—things that 'feel good' and things that 'feel bad'—and stop doing the non-essential 'bad' ones.
Boost energy by over 60% with HRG80 red ginseng
A specific chewable red ginseng called HRG80 was shown in a study to increase energy by over 60% in fatigued individuals.
Recognize burnout as your soul outgrowing current life roles
Burnout can be defined as the moment when your soul grows too big for the role that you are currently playing in life.
Create from being to prevent burnout and enhance fulfillment
To avoid burnout and live a more fulfilling life, focus on creating from a state of 'being'—such as joyful or at peace—rather than a state of 'doing'.
Utilize sleep masks for light blocking and calming effect
A sleep mask is effective not only for blocking light but also due to the calming, 'swaddling' proprioceptive effect of having something lightly weighted over your eyes.
Utilize apps to decode food labels for healthier choices
Use apps like Yuka or Think Dirty to scan the labels on food or personal care products to quickly determine how healthy they are.
