Combating Fatigue: Practical Steps to Get Your Energy Back

combat fatigueDragging through the day despite multiple cups of coffee? We get it, and you’re certainly not alone. Fatigue is more than “just tired,” it’s that heavy, foggy feeling that makes everything harder. Many of our patients come to us after struggling with persistent exhaustion, often feeling skeptical that natural approaches can make a real difference.

Ballas Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre takes a whole body approach to help you find (and keep) steady energy with gentle chiropractic care, targeted nutrition, and realistic lifestyle tweaks.

Why Chiropractic Helps With Energy

Your nervous system is the control center of your body. When spinal misalignments (subluxations) irritate nerves, communication between your brain and body can suffer, often showing up as low energy, poor focus, and restless sleep. Gentle adjustments help restore alignment and improve brain-to-body signaling, which can calm stress responses and support better, deeper sleep.

Fuel That Fights Fatigue

Food choices can either steady your energy or tank it. We’ll personalize nutrition to your needs, but here are core principles that support lasting energy:

Balance your plate: Pair carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats to keep blood sugar stable throughout the day.

Prioritize nutrients: Colorful vegetables, quality protein, and fiber-rich carbs support metabolism and mood while providing sustained energy.

Hydrate smart: Dehydration often masquerades as fatigue. Add a pinch of sea salt to water if you sweat regularly during activities.

Consider targeted support: Vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s are essential building blocks when appropriate for your individual needs.

As Dr. David Wipperman says, “When you improve nervous system function and nourish your body well, energy is often the first thing to come back, and it tends to last.”

Lifestyle Habits That Make a Difference

  • Protect your sleep window by keeping a consistent bedtime and wake time, even on weekends (yes, we know this can be challenging).
  • Move gently and daily with short walks and light strength work to improve insulin sensitivity and circulation.
  • Break up sitting by standing, stretching, or breathing deeply for one minute every 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Create a wind-down routine by dimming lights, limiting screens, and trying 5 minutes of slow nasal breathing before bed.
