Dr. Daenell:
If you have any friends with chronic fatigue, you know they’re not having any fun. You really don’t want to go there from here. I think three important interventions that you could do to prevent it, after you’re done cleaning up your lifestyle and doing the very best you can with the way you manage your life and your stress is Ashwagandha, which is an important herb that can support in this way, phosphatidylserine, which is an important nutrient, and L-theanine, which is an important nutrient.
We’re supporting healthy brain levels of neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, we’re supporting alpha brainwave activity, which is very important at night when you try to go into those sleep stages where you get the restful restorative sleep, your body tissue rebuilds and you wake up feeling refreshed, and also during the day a calm, relaxed, what I call ‘reasonable’ feeling that allows you to deal with all the crazy things you have to do on your list without kind of losing it.
