Tired of Being Tired? Time To Power UP in September!

How do you fight fatigue, beat the blahs, and stimulate your stamina on a daily basis? As you might expect, the causes of fatigue are all over the map, so each week, we’ll hit another fatigue factor, show what it is, and what to do about it.

Don’t expect some set of miracle cures, or upselling some crazy, revolutionary, [insert over-the-top metaphor here] set of supplements that will instantly solve the problem.

The solutions you’ll get are lifestyle oriented, based on evidence-based outcomes across categories: nutrition, activity, and mindfulness.

So PERK UP, because answers are coming each week of this month.

Next Week:    Energy Boosters

2nd Week:      Energy Busters

3rd Week:       Getting Mental

4th Week:       Getting Physical

Just Bear In Mind:
