There is much more to part one and there is also part two! Peace, Bev When evaluating low-energy states, it is the pattern of energy and time of day during which the deficit occurs that help define the specific health problem a patient is facing. Consider: When low energy is diffuse, occurring throughout the day, statistically there is a probability of a malfunction of the thyroid system. Similarly, when the lowest energy is in the evening after 6 p.m., an underactive thyroid system may be the cause. However, when low energy is most severe upon awakening, even after restful sleep, and in the early morning, it usually implies a low adrenal state. When low energy is most severe at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., often there is a blood sugar or food allergy problem. This possibility is amplified when the patient craves sugar or binges on sugar or refined carbohydrates, indicating he or she has as a glucose instability condition or a hypoglycemic condition When the energy deficit is very severe and occurs throughout the day, there tends to be both an adrenal and thyroid suboptimal state. With this last pattern, the severity of the low-energy state is related to the poor functioning of both systems at once. Energy problems tend to be proportionalwhen any two or three of the systems are suboptimal at the same time, your energy level will be worse than with either problem alone. For example, if your adrenals or your thyroid system is faulty and youre also hypoglycemic, your energy deficit will be more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
