2 Are You Struggling with the Chronic Fatigue? Discover 5 Steps to Get Your Energy and Your Life Back~ Have you been told that it is all in your head, that you will have to live with it as you are given another prescription medication? Another medication that makes you feel worse, that slowly robs you of your vitality, your joy, your life with each doctor s visit that take another piece of your hope that there is a light, a path a way??? If you have struggled, trying to get answers and someone that would listen and help, you have found that person Hi, I m Dr. Faria, and for over three decades as a natural doctor, I have been helping people successfully break free of chronic pain and fatigue for good. I want you to know that you are not crazy, what is happening in your body is real and it is not your fault. Your pain is a message, your body s way of trying to both protect and communicate with you that it needs help.

3 There are reasons why your body is doing what it is doing. It is not against you or trying to hurt you, it is responding in a perfect manner to keep you alive, to protect you. Our job now is to get to the root cause of what is causing an imbalance in your system that it is literally exhausting you. There is a path to healing. approach. It requires and outside in and inside out In this ebook today, I am going to share with you a few of the common causes of energy imbalances that can lead to chronic fatigue. It is my mission to help provide you with the answers so you can reclaim your health naturally. You deserve to be back in the driver s seat of your health and wellbeing. What is Chronic Fatigue? According to the CDC, people with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) have overwhelming fatigue and a host of other symptoms that are not improved by bed rest and that can get worse after physical activity or mental exertion. They often function at a substantially lower level of activity than they were capable of before they became ill. Besides severe fatigue, other symptoms include muscle pain, impaired memory or mental concentration, insomnia, and post-exertion malaise lasting more than 24 hours. In some cases, CFS can persist for years. What Causes Chronic Fatigue? Chronic low to moderate grade stress or sudden onset acute stress from physical, chemical, mental, emotional or environmental overload to the system.

4 Immune Dysfunction- if you su er from recurrent infections, colds or sinus problems this can be an underlying cause of your fatigue. Abnormally low blood pressure that can cause fainting Nutritional De ciency Blood Sugar Dysregulation Lack of deep, quality sleep. Adrenals and Low or High Cortisol also called Adrenal Fatigue Food Intolerance Hormone Imbalance Toxic Burden/ Inability of the body to detox at a cellular level GI Dysfunction Thyroid Disorder s Autoimmune Conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Celiac, Lyme and Hashimoto s. But there is a very simple and obvious question that I am sure you have been asking that traditional medicine is not WHY? Why is your body getting so tired? The body has become over-loaded overtime and depending on the length and severity, it is no longer able to handle the stressors as it once did. This is leaving you with less than optimal metabolic pathways. There are 3 main categories of stress and each will impact the internal physiology of the body, the main systems of the body and ultimately how they respond. The longer the body is under stress, the greater the likelihood of breakdown. As one system breaks down, it then creates a slow domino e ect system to system of breakdown, imbalance and disease. You can get the upperhand, rebalance your metabolic system and heal your body when you know what is impacting you and what you can begin to do about it so you can help yourself heal.

5 Understanding the Culprits...Stress Physical: This is any microtrauma ( a little day after day from repetitive stress movements like sitting at a desk with your head forward) and macro trauma- think car accidents, strains and sprains. Chemical/ Environmental: This form of stress comes in the toxic elements and synthetic chemicals, dyes and ingredients that are in the food we eat, water we drink, clothes we wear, medications we take, products we use, they are in the air we breathe and what is emitted from the many electronic devices all around us every day. This has a profound impact at the cellular level. Creating an increased toxic burden and decreased energy production. Mental/ Emotional: Mental and emotional stress is everything from the neverending to-do list to the worry, lack, frustration, fear, shame and blame cycle that many of us feel. To feel is to be human but it is when you cannot turn o the negative inner dialogue, tension or anxiety that things begin to go sideways. Stress and toxins in all of their forms have very real and devastating e ects long term on your body and how it functions. It creates a chronic release of the hormone cortisol which is highly catabolic, meaning it breaks tissue down. This constant stress, strain, wear and tear literally wears you down, drains your energy, imbalances your hormones, a ects your mood, and robs you of the joy of your life. But it doesn t have to... There IS Hope...There ARE Answers!

6 It is Time for You to Take Back Control of Your Health. The reality is that there are many stressors impacting your Neuro-Hormonal systems. Your GI/Gut system and Metabolic/Detox pathways all at cellular level which is causing havoc on your overall health and life. While you may not be able to eliminate stress, you can gain the upper hand so you can take back control of your health and wellbeing. Research shows True Cellular Detox and Functional Medicine to be a pathway to restore health and wellbeing. As a Functional medicine doctor, my role is to help you uncover what is stressing your system so that we can work together to help you heal. How? Think of it like reverse engineering your health. My role is to look at what is happening inside your body as a result of your stressors then support you with reducing and removing the causes as we work together to help your cells detox and function at an optimal level. Then we can help you regain your energy and reduce your pain for good. When you can be aware of where the stress is coming from, you can be in the position to reduce and remove the elements that may be triggering your system overload, weakening it and making you sick. You get to take back control and make choices that will help to put you on the path to healing, health and wellness. What is Triggering YOU? Here are some examples of common toxic stressors, which ones are impacting you the most? Lifestyle Toxins are found in: Nicotine Alcohol Ca eine Recreational drugs Prescription drugs Over-the-counter drugs Chemically polluted air and water Mold, Fungi, Parasites ( old homes, farms, well water) Pesticides Air pollution Electronic Magnetic Radiation (emitted from many electronic devices high levels can lead to cellular damage.)

7 Arti cial food additives, colorings and preservatives ( diet soda, avored waters, fat free, sugar free products) Meats that contain hormones and antibiotics Re ned foods and sugars Blood Sugar Imbalance Dietary choices (fast foods, fried foods) Did you know that we ingest over tons of food in a lif etime? Now that is a toxic load! GMO foods Internal Toxins Bacterial, yeast, fungal overgrowth ( Fed by Sugar and Arti cial Sweeteners) Undigested food Food Sensitivities ( Gluten, Dairy, Corn, Soy) Inability to sleep Heavy Metals By-products of metabolic reactions typically producing in ammatory responses (such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, hormones) Unresolved trauma or abuse (experienced as a child or as an adult) Unhappy relationships (with a relative, a spouse, a signi cant other, a boss, a coworker, a neighbor, etc.) Feelings of unworthiness, anxiousness, fear. Now that you have some examples of sources of stress from the outside and how it may be impacting you on the inside let s take time to give you 5 actions steps that will put you back in control of lowering your stress burden and in ammatory response so you can begin breaking free from Chronic Fatigue today! 5 Steps to Reduce Your Stress Burden & Reclaim Your Health. Step 1 : Make a list of Your Stressors as you know them from reading this report. Don t worry if you don t know them all, just pick the most obvious ones that are troubling you.. Step 2 : Next, quantify these stressors, what is impacting you every day vs. the ones that are impacting you only once in awhile? Step 3 : Pick your top stressors and consider how or in what ways you can reduce your exposure? See examples in the section below. Step 4: Take one small action a day that supports the reduction of your stressors. Step 5 : Notice how taking a small action has impacted you by charting everyday what went well in your body/ health.

8 Your Road to Recovery Putting the steps into action with real examples... It is possible to break free from the pain and fatigue of Fibromyalgia. Consider this the rst step on the path. Be gentle with yourself, as you move through the 5 steps, it is not always obvious of when, where or how stress is showing up in your life, if you knew that you might not be reading this now in search of answers, I get it. So to help make it easier to understand what may be some of the factors causing your pain, consider a few of the following examples of various ways stress may show up in your day to day life. Do you have a computer, Ipad or TV on in your bedroom? If so know that the light emitted can disrupt proper hormonal release preventing you from entering a deep full REM sleep so you toss and turn waking up tired each morning. Do you eat a lot of processed, fast food or drink diet or regular soda often? Do you worry all of the time? Are you a gardener or do landscaping and are subject to pesticides? Do you know or suspect that you have mercury llings in your mouth? Do you take 3 or more prescription medications? Have you taken antibiotics more than 2 times? Maybe you live with a smoker or in a house that has mold. Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Do you say yes to everyone else s wants and needs when you really want to say no and nd yourself with no healthy boundaries? Are you eating conventional foods vs organic, grass fed meats etc.? These are a few examples that many of my patients experience on a regular basis. Now as you look back over your answers, you can begin to discover what is out of balance. Once you know your stressors and how often you are up against them, you can now begin to come up with ideas in step 3 to reduce and remove your exposure to them. If you answered yes to some of the questions above, here are examples of ways in which you may choose to take action. You can turn o any bedroom lights such as the TV or think about moving the computer out of the bedroom. How about a plan to cut back and begin eliminating fast food and soda s. You can switch to natural products that don t contain harmful chemicals. Consider a simple stress reduction technique like deep breathing, add more plants to your home to purify the air or have your llings replaced with a non mercury ller. Please don t have any amalgam/silver llings removed unless by a certi ed Biological Dentist and your body has been prepped such as through our True Cellular Detox protocols.

9 Once you have solid action steps, the next thing on your list is to choose which items you can begin to do immediately and focus to do a little a day every day. Week 1 you may focus on reducing your soda intake and turning the lights o in the room. Week 2 you may build on this and each day make a personal commitment to take a deep breath anytime you begin to feel pain, worry frustration or tension strike. This will let you gain more control of your stress so that it is no longer controlling you. You truly CAN do this, I believe in YOU! Just start, 1 step at a time and with each day, it will be easier and easier to end the day with step 5...noticing what went well as a result of taking your new Fibro/stress reduction actions. You will notice the pain lessen, your mood lift, possibilities present because when you reduce and remove the stressors even little ones from your life, you create more ease and ow both in your body and in your life. Don t worry, I do not expect you to know how to gure it all out or even to know for sure where to start and what may be triggering your system. But the important thing to know is there are reasons your body is signaling you with pain. Your body is talking, now it is your turn to listen and know that there are solutions to bring your system back into balance. But What About the Inside Out Stress? As I mentioned earlier, stress does take its toll on how your body functions. All of this stress, as I said earlier can have a damaging impact on not only your gut but each core system of your body. If you have been impacted by Chronic Fatigue or suspect you have it and need answers on how to not only reduce your stress but heal your system from its long term e ects, my team and I are here to help. Here is what I know I know that you may be in a scary place, a place of overwhelm of desiring a change but being fearful of where or how to take the rst step. This ebook was designed to be a starting point for you to just consider where, how or in what ways things may be out of balance.
