Why High Sugar Levels Keeps You Feeling Terribly Tired
When it comes to lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes and chronic fatigue, one truth stands out: no medicine can fix what your habits keep breaking.
As a traditional naturopath, I always ask myself, “What did I do wrong?” whenever my body feels off. Because good health isn’t random, it’s the result of daily choices. Interestingly, most lifestyle diseases are not easily noticed until after so much damage has occurred in the body. What I’ve learned on my natural health journey is that the key to lasting wellness isn’t hidden in herbs or supplements alone, but deep inside our cells, in the mitochondria that fuel every function of the body.
The mitochondria are the tiny powerhouses inside every cell that produce energy. When they stop working properly, your body can’t burn fuel efficiently. This leads to oxidative stress, inflammation, and eventually, conditions like insulin resistance, and chronic fatigue etc.
What Damages Your Mitochondria
Many everyday habits quietly wear down your body’s power centers:
- Excessive alcohol and drug use
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Overprocessed, sugary foods
- Eating too often without giving your system time to rest
The Natural Way to Heal and Reset
If you want to truly feel well again, and not just continue to manage your symptoms, get your body as close to nature as you can. Our bodies respond best to what comes from the earth: herbs, roots, and natural foods. Below are 3 steps you can start incorporating today:
Restore Calm and Balance:
Inflammation thrives on stress. Support your body’s natural energy production by:
- Avoiding pro-inflammatory foods and calm your system with anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric, ginger, flaxseed, and chia seeds.
- Eating whole, nutrient-rich foods
- Practicing intermittent fasting to encourage cellular renewal
- Exercising regularly to build new mitochondria
- Getting deep, quality sleep
- Staying hydrated and managing stress
Gentle Detox:
Heavy metals and toxins can burden the liver, hindering sugar metabolism. Consider adding teas that help cleanse the liver and balance blood sugar naturally:
- Gymnema (Gurmar) Tea: supports healthy sugar metabolism
- Barberry Root Tea: rich in berberine, a natural blood sugar regulator
- Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea: calms stress and supports hormonal balance
- Ginger Tea: improves circulation and digestion
Be Patient — Healing Takes Time
Remember, your body didn’t get imbalanced overnight, and it won’t heal overnight either. With consistency, patience, and the right natural support, especially from God’s own gifts of herbs, your energy, balance, and health will return.
