Episode 12 – Gut Health and Your Energy

Shownotes If you want to know if your gut health could be impacting your energy, the short answer is; YES! However, in this episode Anna breaks things down into more detail. She talks about the 4 main ways digestive health can leave you feeling fatigued and foggy and the “5R” approach for better digestion, health and energy.

In today’s episode, I will discuss all things gut health. But before I dive into the content for today, I want to bring your attention to some of the things I’ve been talking about in the previous episodes. So for the past couple of episodes, I’ve talked about blood sugar and oxygenation. Prior to that, I do believe I talked about the nervous system, and these are all that I would call low-hanging fruit. These are things that I’m always working with my clients on either to check. Is this thing imbalanced? Is it not imbalanced? And if it’s not imbalanced, we need to address it. Because these are easy, accessible, and affordable things that we can focus on as we work to recover our energy. For this reason, these are also available as mini-courses on my website. You can buy a blood sugar mini-course, a nervous system mini-course, and an oxygenation mini-course. Today, on the topic of gut health, you can buy the gut health mini-course as well. But if you feel that you don’t just want a mini course, and you don’t just want to work it all out yourself, these topics that I’m talking about today are also modules in the High Achiever Revival Program, which is my group program for high achieving women who want to recover from burnout and chronic fatigue. The difference between doing the mini-course and joining the High Achiever Revival Program, also known as HARP, is that I combined the information you receive on the modules as you would receive on this podcast, but in a lot more detail with the group environment. Monthly group calls where you can feel supported on a monthly basis and have conversations about your recovery with someone for one personalized consultation. What this means is that when you join the program, you’ll have several one-ones with me, where we can go through all of this together, and I can highlight to you exactly where you want to be spending your time and your energy and your attention as you work through the program. I just wanted to bring that to your attention as we dive into the next episode. Because if you have been enjoying the content on the podcast and find the information helpful, but you feel like you need a little bit more support and input in implementation, those would be fantastic opportunities for you. The alternative option is to work with me one-on-one in my fatigue recovery intensive, six months of working with me on a much more intimate level. But anyway, that’s enough of a little bit of advertising slash marketing for you today. Let’s talk about all things gut health. Suppose you have been listening to the previous episodes. In that case, one of the things I’ve said previously is that we experience fatigue when the body isn’t able to make energy and when the body isn’t able to make what is known as ATP. Many different mechanisms can result in the...
