Chapter One
WHY ARE WE SO TIRED?
Life is supposed to be challenging, but it’s not meant to seem impossible. It surely feels that way sometimes, though, doesn’t it?
If I were to ask you whether or not you’d like more energy, I’m certain the answer would be an emphatic, nearly desperate yes! Then again, you’re reading this book, so that kind of gave it away. It’s not surprising, as having more energy and feeling more alive every single day is one of the most common desires I’ve noticed among all people. Even those who don’t say they crave more energy are probably fooling themselves. Some of them may say they want to lose weight, while others want to gain muscle. Some people say they want better-looking skin, and others want to be better performers in their sport or area of work. What’s the one thing that makes any of these goals so much easier to achieve?
Energy.
Not only does being more energetic allow you to get so much more out of life, it also allows you to contribute so much more to your friends, family, and community. For me, the latter is a biggie. As nice as it was to overcome many of my personal health challenges several years ago, the most important improvement in my life was my increased energy levels. Instead of sleeping 10 to 12 hours a night, my body only required 6 to 8 hours of sleep, and I woke up most mornings ready to conquer the world! I was focused and productive all day long, which meant I was able to help more people and get my message out to the world. It’s tough to do that when you’re sidelined on the couch feeling exhausted.
I was in peak condition for quite a while, but it didn’t last. With the arrival of my kids several years later and a more hectic lifestyle, I noticed my energy levels regressing. I wasn’t waking up as easily as I had just a few months prior, and I just didn’t have the lasting daylong energy I previously enjoyed. Exercise became a chore; I just couldn’t push myself to the same level of intensity that I had before. What made it more confounding is that I was eating well (according to the principles you’ll discover further along in this book), but something still wasn’t quite right.
Once again, I set off on a quest to figure out what was going wrong inside my body. After much research, visits with my naturopathic doctor, and several lab tests, I discovered that my adrenal glands were shot. (I’ll explain what this means in more detail a little later, but essentially, my body was no longer able to cope with stress very well.) Armed with this new knowledge, I was able to make some great progress in regaining my all-day energy and bringing my adrenals back to life.
The vital information I learned along the way can be found in the pages of this very book, and it can help you overcome the drain that you’re facing. Don’t you want to be able to jump out of bed in the morning and coast through your days with boundless energy? What if you could avoid that dreaded midafternoon slump every day, the one that leaves you completely spent after work, unable to play with your kids or go to the gym? Wouldn’t you like to feel downright awesome?
You can, but first you have to understand why your energy is being sapped away.
Energy is life. An energetic body is a healthy body. Conversely, a tired and lethargic body is groaning and wheezing for help. Without sufficient energy we jeopardize our health, accomplish a fraction of what we’re truly capable of, and drag through our days like zombies grasping for quick fixes that offer temporary, if questionable, help.
What am I talking about? That would be caffeine, the number one drug in the world that’s consumed by more than 100 million Americans each day in the form of coffee and almost as often in the form of energy drinks. According to a report by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in 2008, 1.5 billion cans of Red Bull were sold in the United States in 2004. The U.S. energy-drink market alone exploded by more than 240 percent from 2004 to 2009, and is predicted to at one point reach an astounding $19.7 billion.¹
The irony is that hundreds of millions of people are still drained of energy. In fact, we are more tired than ever before. Do any of the coffee drinkers or energy-drink guzzlers you know—and you might be one yourself—truly seem pumped full of the energy they need to get through the day? We are overstressed and overworked, and in spite of being over-caffeinated, we are still struggling to get out of bed in the morning and take care of our to-do list. Obviously, what we’re doing is not working.
The reason is simple—culprit beverages (namely, energy drinks, coffee, and soda) hit our bodies with a strong dose of caffeine, which wears down our adrenal glands and wreaks havoc on our blood-sugar levels. Out-of-whack hormones and dwindling energy are the results. Aside from the short-lived pick-me-up we might experience from these stimulants, the long-term consequences are truly scary. We’ll investigate these consequences in more detail a little bit later.
Right now, we citizens of Caffeination Nation
face an extreme fatigue epidemic. The number of those affected reaches into the hundreds of millions. This is a problem of cataclysmic proportions, and it is robbing everyday people (perhaps even you) of the happiness, productivity, libido, and fulfillment that they deserve. It has to
