Ways to Reclaim Your Energy (From the Inside Out)
If you’ve been feeling drained, foggy, or like you're running on fumes—your body’s not broken. It’s communicating.
Fatigue is a signal, not a flaw. And August, with its slower pace and seasonal transition, is the perfect time to reset, nourish deeply, and rebuild your energy reserves naturally.
Here are 7 foundational shifts to help you reclaim your energy—without relying on more caffeine or sheer willpower:
1. Reduce Nervous System Overload
Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety. When you’re stuck in “fight-or-flight,” energy gets diverted away from digestion, hormone production, and healing.
Supportive practices:
Breathwork (like 4-7-8 or box breathing)
Gentle movement over HIIT
Self-soothing touching (hand on heart or EFT tapping)
Regulating your nervous system helps your body feel safe enough to rest, digest, and restore.
2. Support Your Adrenals + Thyroid
These glands are your energy command centers. They thrive on nourishment, rhythm, and mineral support—not stress and restriction.
Start with:
Eating within 60 minutes of waking
Prioritizing protein, carbs, and healthy fats
Adrenal cocktails mid-morning - vitamin C + sodium + potassium (find my favorite adrenal cocktail mix here under the ‘My Essentials’ list in my catalog)
When your adrenals and thyroid are supported, sustainable energy becomes your new baseline.
3. Fuel with Nutrient-Dense, Whole Foods
Food is not just calories—it's information. What you eat sends messages to your cells about whether it’s time to burn out or rebuild.
For all-day stamina:
Anchor meals with 20–30g protein
Add quality fats (egg yolks, avocado, ghee)
Choose colorful carbs (squash, berries, root veggies)
Balanced meals support blood sugar, hormones, and energy throughout the day.
4. Replenish Minerals + Hydration
You can drink water all day and still be dehydrated if you’re missing minerals. These tiny nutrients are essential for adrenal function, sleep, muscle recovery, and even mood.
Try this:
Add sea salt + lemon to your water (my favorite sea salt is Baja Gold)
Use clean electrolytes in your water find my favorite electrolytes here under the ‘My Essentials’ list in my catalog)
Eat your water - cucumber, oranges, celery, watermelon
Hydration isn’t about more water—it’s about smarter hydration.
5. Get Outside + Sync with Natural Rhythms
Your body runs on circadian rhythm—and the sun is the master clock. Light, grounding, and fresh air reset your internal systems and charge your cellular energy (your mitochondria).
Support your rhythms by:
Getting 10+ minutes of morning sun on your skin and eyes
Spend time outside unplugged from your devices
Sleeping/waking with the sun as best you can
Living in alignment with nature = deeper rest, better mood, more energy.
6. Sleep to Rebuild, Not Just Survive
Your deepest healing happens at night. Poor sleep can sabotage even the most nourishing diet or supplement routine.
Tips to upgrade your sleep:
Dim lights 1–2 hours before bed
Apply topical magnesium (find my favorite topical magnesium here under the ‘My Essentials’ list in my catalog)
Use calming herbs like chamomile or lemon balm
Deep sleep = hormone repair, mitochondrial healing, and real restoration.
Final Thoughts
Reclaiming your energy doesn’t happen overnight—it happens over time, through small daily choices that tell your body:
“You are safe. You are nourished. You are supported.”
Give yourself permission to pause, replenish, and rebuild.
