Are you looking for ways to support your energy levels? Are you tired of feeling tired?
I was too. I developed chronic fatigue (CFS) when I was young. I recovered using many tactics, including yoga & diet, which you can read about here. Some of the ways I improved my energy levels, include using supplements.
Here are a few of the products I love that may help you support your energy levels:
Orgain: Organic Nutrition: there is no comparison to this on-the-go organic nutritional shake. Watch the video below for more information on one of my favorite products for energy!
You can find Orgain here:
Now’s Liver Refresh helps my liver run smoothly. My liver gets congested easily, which can lead to fatigue. Of course, diet and lifestyle can play a role. Try organic lemons and greens to help your liver detoxify, and veggies like broccoli and cauliflower. I tried many liver formulas, before I found the right one for me. Watch here for details:
You can find Liver Refresh here:
Cellfood gives me great, consistent energy for a few hours at a time. It helps your body create more oxygen as well, and also has a great mineral base for more energy support. You can find it here:
Another favorite product and brand of mine is DMAE by Source Naturals. This helps support energy levels in mind and body, including addressing issues associated with brain fog for me. You can find it here:
Another favorite of mine is Super C by Rainbow Light. Vitamin C is needed for energy and motivation, as well as mood. It gets depleted by stress and sugar too. I prefer a Vitamin C complex as it works far better for me in terms of energy support and assimilation in my body. This is the best I’ve found overall:
Last, but certainly not least, is using CBD or herbs that support the production of CBD in your body. CBD can help to reduce inflammation (which can contribute to low energy symptoms), pain, and more.
Your body has its own endocannabinoid system, and CBD and other herbs can help your body produce more. Below is Endo Bliss, one of my favorite products to support energy* and mood, and here are more products that can help too.
Again, there is much that helped me bounce back from having low energy. In fact, I wrote a whole book on the subject, which took me 10 years to complete. Click here for more information on what else helped me, and to check out my book on the subject: The Memory of Health
Wishing you peace, health, and well-being…

From MaryShores.com:
You Create Your Life
“The thoughts you think. The words you speak. The actions you take. They all shape the reality that you live in today. But did you know that 95% of your thoughts and actions come from your subconscious programming? This is the part of the brain that stores the beliefs you have about people, past experiences, and yourself.
For that reason, most of us live in “subconscious default mode,” meaning that we are making choices based on past experiences, not necessarily on what we really want. You see, the truth of what we want lives in the conscious mind—that’s the other 5% that represents our creativity, wishes, and desires. Yet, we’re usually operating from a space of caution, fear, or doubt thanks to our subconscious.
We say things like…
No, I’m not ready.
There’s no way I can have that.
I can’t do this.
No, that’s not possible.
I won’t ever make that much money.
Etc.
And we think things like…
I’m not good enough.
I’ll never be happy.
I’ll never fall in love.
I’ll always be fat.
Life will always be hard.
Etc.
The truth is, in order to have the life, the love, the career, the adventure, the health, and the deep satisfaction we crave, we have to change these old narratives into empowering ones.
The best place to begin? Making decisions from your conscious mind, and steadily changing the default settings of the subconscious mind. This is what Conscious Communications teaches you so that you can finally be free to create your ideal reality. It’s a simple process that consists of eliminating negative language, using words that work, and focusing on what you want.”

What is a Health Coach?
“In recent years, a new and intriguing concept has emerged in the prevention and treatment of chronic illness: the Health Coach.” – CBS News
A Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who motivates individuals to cultivate positive health choices. Health Coaches educate and support clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behavior adjustments.
Why are Health Coaches Needed?
1.6 billion adults worldwide are obese and 366 million have diabetes. We spend trillions on healthcare and are still getting sicker and our life expectancies are getting lower.
The existing healthcare system is just not sustainable. The future of healthcare is about education and prevention.
Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches educate and support people around the world to find their way to better health.
Health Coaches are at the forefront of today’s health revolution, offering services and filling gaps that doctors, nutritionists and dieticians don’t have the time or resources to fill.”

How to Change Your Bad Health Habits for Good
Go from being chained to your unhealthy habits, to looking forward to the day and your life…
Jim Benton & Dash: A Story of Change from Virgin Pulse on Vimeo.
We keep repeating our health habits (or any habit) because, on some level, they work for us.
It’s when we can develop the awareness that (maybe) some of our habits are actually hurting us in the longer run, that we can begin to gently take on new, healthier habits that work for us vs. against us.
Use your power of awareness to gently take a look at what is working for you or may be working against you. The goal is to tweak your habits (hint: we can have beneficial habits too) that improve your well-being and quality of Life.
Find out how I changed my deeply ingrained health habits in order to improve my health in my book, The Memory of Health. I go into great detail on how I changed my health habits, and explore the nature of health habits and how you can use techniques like positive psychology and wellness coaching to change your health habits too!

“Mindfulness is just like exercise. It’s a form of mental exercise, really. And just as exercise increases health, helps us handle stress better and promotes longevity, meditation purports to confer some of those same benefits.”
Meditation not only reduces stress…
it changes your brain.
~ Sarah Lazar, Harvard Neuroscientist
Q: Why did you start looking at meditation and mindfulness and the brain?
Lazar: A friend and I were training for the Boston marathon. I had some running injuries, so I saw a physical therapist who told me to stop running and just stretch. So I started practicing yoga as a form of physical therapy. I started realizing that it was very powerful, that it had some real benefits, so I just got interested in how it worked.
The yoga teacher made all sorts of claims, that yoga would increase your compassion and open your heart. And I’d think, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m here to stretch.’ But I started noticing that I was calmer. I was better able to handle more difficult situations. I was more compassionate and open hearted, and able to see things from others’ points of view.
I thought, maybe it was just the placebo response. But then I did a literature search of the science, and saw evidence that meditation had been associated with decreased stress, decreased depression, anxiety, pain and insomnia, and an increased quality of life.
At that point, I was doing my PhD in molecular biology. So I just switched and started doing this research as a post-doc.
Do you struggle with not having enough energy?
I did too. I developed chronic fatigue and CFS in my early 20’s. After years of searching for answers, I finally figured out how to improve my energy levels.

Here are some of the review for my book (maybe you will leave one too – much appreciated!):
Really great book! Equal parts raw memoir, practical suggestions, and positivity. The book itself is a fantastic read, but the list of resources at the end of the book is worth the price of this book alone! If you purchase the electronic book, be sure to click on all the links provided. There are many, many hours of extra information contained in practically every link, so when you take that into consideration, this book is a STEAL for all hundreds of hours of information and resources you get out it it!

(on a four star scale) And would/will be recommending it for all to read.”

“In an interview with The Guardian, Matthew Walker, Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, explains how.
Through his work, he’s determined that people who don’t get enough sleep tend to be less healthy and have lower energy levels than those who get the recommended amount of shut eye per night. After analyzing the results of 20 separate studies, he’s found a strong correlation between how much people sleep and how long they live. In summary: The less you sleep, the shorter your life will be.
‘People use alarms to wake up,” Walker told The Guardian.“So why don’t we have a bedtime alarm to tell us we’ve got half an hour, that we should start cycling down?'”

Focus on Sleep Quality, and Getting to Bed Earlier
When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, the stakes are higher than we realized. Neurology researchers at the NIH found that missing a single night’s sleep can increase the amount of the metabolic waste product β-amyloid in your brain—potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Even worse news for night owls: Researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Surrey reported associations between “greater eveningness” (rather than morningness) and increased mortality risk. And there is also evidence that it’ll be harder to sleep better in 2019 than ever before, since the earth’s surface is getting brighter at night. Time to buy those blackout curtains and knock off an hour (or two!) earlier in 2019.

It may be that deeper sleep is more important than the length of sleep – although that matters too
I am a big fan of investing in a comfortable bed to enhance my quality of sleep.You spend a lot of time sleeping, and restorative rest is crucial to energy, mood, and immune function.
It’s almost mid-January. How are you doing? Have you fallen off the New Year’s resolution bandwagon yet?
I read or heard somewhere the concept of New Year’s Evolution vs. Resolution. The point is to evolve this year as a person, versus trying to keep strict or unrealistic resolutions.
I love this concept. How can you set a goal, goals, or vision for yourself to evolve this year, one day, or even one moment or breath at a time?
What would your life and the world at large look like if we all evolved to our highest selves?
This concept brings up a concept that occurred to me a few years ago:
Making this moment your best moment ever
Here’s an idea: to have the best year ever, make this your best moment ever…
Every year I see ads and magazines saying “This year will be your best yet!” While I love this idea, we cannot have great years without first creating great moments.
How do you do this? It’s called mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of truly being here in the Now.
How do you practice being mindful? Channel any stray, negative, or stressful thoughts into your breath. Over time, this will get easier, and it can literally help you to build positive neural pathways, which greatly influence your habits.
When you change your health and wellness habits, guess what the result is?
Great moments, days, and years. 🙂
Mindfulness practice and mindfulness meditation has Buddhist roots. While the traditional focus is to become mindful and live deeply in the moment, in order to alleviate suffering, the practice has very useful applications that can greatly help your health, well-being, and quality of life.
It literally comes back to how mindfulness can change the structure of your brain. The stronger your positive neural pathways are, the more likely you are to naturally make healthy choices.
This is not McMindfulness, this is science-based research, backed by thousands of years of mindfulness practice.
Being mindful is the first step toward having more great moments, days, and years…
First, be here now, in “This Moment.” Make “This Moment” your best yet…be your best Self in this moment.
Allow yourself to evolve as your best self in this present moment, to see what can unfold
We cannot consistently have great days, months, and years without first being full present in the moment.
This is where our greatest challenge lies, but also our greatest opportunity to evolve and transform.
Evolving into our best selves’ can bring us our greatest joys, rewards, and triumphs!
All we every truly have is this moment. Live “This Moment” with joy, awareness, and presence, and the rest naturally follows.
The opportunity to evolve and for growth and to change is absolutely possible, and we get there
~ One Mindful Moment At A Time ~
My wish for you is to focus on having great moments this year…
This is what leads to your own souls’ growth and, perhaps, finally fulfilling your New Year’s Resolutions.
What if I get stuck, you say? We all have triggers that can cause us to feel stuck:
Shame (that we’re not good enough to deserve to be happy, for instance)
Stress (we’re just feeling too stressed to be mindful enough to stay present)
Story (we are living in the past or living in the future)
What is the solution to your lagging resolutions? Remember, evolution is a process.
Practice peace and compassion with yourself. Be grateful for each perfectly imperfect moment as it unfolds. Do your best to show up for it as joyful and grateful and present as possible.
And then see what unfolds…
And, if you feel the need to make a resolution, consider living one, positive, mindful moment at a time ❤ ❤
Here’s to your New Year’s Evolution and making the most of every moment, day, and experience this year!
Wishing you joy, peace, presence, love and a wonderfully fulfilling year and life…❤
It’s been a crazy year: hurricanes, wildfires, shootings…just saying it all stresses me out.
It’s been a hard year in other ways too, perhaps…for me, at least. Breakups, makeups, breakups…
As 2017 rolls out here, and 2018 rolls in…I’m wishing you Peace & a return to your center of Being.
Whatever trials you may have faced this year, I’m hoping 2018 is better for you, for me, for all of us…
If you’ve been suffering from illness, or loneliness, or sadness, trauma, loss, or anything else…
Wishing you a renewed sense of Hope & Peace in 2018…
I truly hope 2018 is a joyful, present, peaceful year for you! Many blessings, my friends…
Sending you peace, love, and joy…
