What are some natural ways to get energy? I have none at all, sometimes I cant deal with day to day stuff like housework and my part time job, much less work out . I think I hav a medical problem but they cant find anything. I know energy drinks are bad for you and they dont really work anyway for me. I tried some energy/wweight loss pills but i dont think theyre any better. What can I do?

    You're on the right road if you're eating right and getting at least a little activity. I don't know any "magic energy" tricks, but when I get a good night's sleep (hard with a 1 year old), my diet is good (fruits, veggies, lean meats...), and I find the time to exercise, I always seem to have more energy! Oh, I stopped drinking beer, too! :wink: One of my friends had no idea she was waking up at night (sleep apnea), causing her to feel tired all the time. If you really think you have a physical problem, you should see a different doctor.

    have you considerd that you could be suffering from depression or even just seasonal affective disorder? That can cause fatigue as well and maybe you just never put a label on it.

    You might try the 5 hour energy drinks (the little bottles)... when I was working midnights I asked my doctor about them and i surprised me when he said he used them. He told me there was nothing in them that would hurt - if my body didn't need it hen I would have expensive urine. They are mostly B-vitamins and are not absorbed into the body but uses what it needs and flushes the rest. It is a thought - they might help until they can figure out what's going on with you. :flowerforyou:

    Shakeology is also a great natural source for energy and it tastes delicious! I like to make mine a Peppermint Mocha.
