Up Your Energy With Acupuncture and Clinical Nutrition

If you can use more energy and experience less fatigue, implementing an acupuncture and clinical nutrition program could significantly help. These two remedies can be much better choices than relying on temporary energy increases from caffeine, sugar or other addictive compounds. It is a way to embrace clean vitality which attempts to enhance adrenal gland function and brain response to get you up and running without crashing and burning.

Acupuncture is one way to boost your energy through life force or qi (chee) manipulation. This ancient modality has been shown to help those suffering from cancer-related fatigue (CRF).

It was published in a 2017 Oncology Nurse Advisor report that acupuncture resulted in significant improvement in CRF after two weeks. In addition, acupuncture has also been linked to reducing the effects of fatigue related to auto-immune disease, particularly for those struggling with fibromyalgia.

These and many other similar studies show how acupuncture not only helps exhaustion related to serious illness, but that it is effective enough to help those with random chronic or acute bouts as well.

Clinical nutrition is another option that looks at your individual processing of certain nutrients. This includes educating you on optimal food choices and avoiding those robbing you of essential energy reserves.

Looking at things like wheat gluten sensitivity, symptoms associated with sugar intake, and effective fat reduction techniques are some of the many ways a naturopathic doctor can help you help yourself. Also, steering you toward foods that increase your microbiome is a way to optimally increase your overall systemic health.

For example, some recommended probiotic foods for digestive health a clinical nutrition protocol might include would be:

• Yogurt
• Olives
• Miso
• Pickles

Whereas some other food choices may act as prebiotics which encourage your body to naturally produce probiotics. Some of these are:

• Beans
• Asparagus
• Bananas
• Garlic

Acupuncture and clinical nutrition are two excellent alternative remedies to enhancing your energy capability. In addition, these and other naturopathic treatments often address other issues that could be contributing to your fatigue therefore offering more of a future systemic balance as opposed to just fixing symptoms.
