Low energy & brain fog — understanding the root cause

Often, as we move through the day, we can feel our energy waning, our brain going and our enthusiasm for the endless to do list gone. Low energy and brain fog often come hand in hand. The brain fog comes because of the low energy and understanding why can be the first step to genuinely turning things around.

Your body produces energy inside tiny structures called mitochondria, often described as the powerhouses of your cells. Every single thing you do, thinking, moving, digesting, breathing, depends on your mitochondria working well.

The nervous system contains a particularly high concentration of mitochondria, because it demands enormous amounts of energy to function. Your brain is the most energy hungry organ in your entire body, accounting for around 20% of your body's total energy consumption, despite making up only about 2% of your body weight.

So when the nervous system becomes dysregulated through chronic stress or past trauma it uses up a lot of the body’s energy, depleting reserves for that energy hungry brain bringing the low energy and brain fog.

Chronic stress can compromise our digestion meaning that there is less energy created from our food. It can bring shallow breathing patterns bringing less energy from each and every breath. So we keep on pushing through with a body that’s increasingly depleted.

Restoring your energy and mental clarity means working gently but purposefully at the root, supporting your mitochondria, calming your nervous system, nourishing your body with what it actually needs and using the breath as a powerful tool for increasing energy.

We work gently and consistently together at every level where you feel truly supported every step of the way to increase energy and banish brain fog.
