Fatigue, burnout, and the ongoing pressure of life can take a serious toll on our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Whether you're raising toddlers, navigating teenage drama, dealing with work deadlines, or just trying to keep up with life, it's common to feel depleted. But constant fatigue and low energy are not normal—and you don't have to accept them.
What Causes Fatigue and Energy Loss?
There are many root causes of low energy and chronic fatigue, including:
Low or fluctuating blood sugar
Nutritional deficiencies
Lack of exercise, leading to poor oxygenation
Excess weight
Poor or insufficient sleep
Stress
Toxic exposure
Mental overload and depression
Illness or chronic inflammation
...and let’s be honest: toddlers, teenagers, and life in general
These factors don’t just leave you tired—they can cause cellular damage, hormonal imbalance, and poor immune function. Let’s take a look at how your energy system works and how to support it, naturally.
The Mitochondria: Your Cellular Power Plants
Every cell in your body contains mitochondria—tiny organelles responsible for producing energy. They take oxygen and nutrients from the food you eat and convert them into ATP, the fuel your body uses to function.
When you:
Don’t exercise
Eat nutrient-poor food
Or live under chronic stress
…the mitochondria suffer, become inefficient, and decline in number. This leads to chronic fatigue and accelerated aging.
Vivix® – Mitochondrial Power & Anti-Aging
Shaklee’s Vivix® is a revolutionary tonic that helps regenerate mitochondria, protect your DNA, and slow cellular aging. Vivix is 10x more effective than resveratrol alone and is clinically proven to:
Repair cellular damage
Boost the number and function of mitochondria
Activate longevity pathways
Increase energy naturally
What Most People Do for Energy… and Why It Backfires
To get a boost, most people turn to:
Sugar
Coffee or soda
Energy drinks
Processed carbs
While these may give a quick spike in blood sugar, they also cause a sharp crash, triggering the “pep and sag” cycle. This not only worsens fatigue but can also stress your adrenals, cause weight gain, and deplete critical nutrients.
Energy the Natural Way
Instead of short-term fixes, start building real energy with clean food and smart supplements.
Nature’s Energy Foods:
Fresh vegetables and fruits
Leafy greens and green plant foods
Berries and nuts
Beans and legumes
Clean proteins (some poultry, meat, or soy)
Pure water
Support with Movement and Oxygen
Regular aerobic exercise enhances oxygen intake and keeps mitochondria functioning. A brisk walk, light strength training, or deep breathing exercises can significantly improve energy levels.
