Why are you always tired, even after getting enough sleep? If you wake up exhausted, struggle with brain fog, rely on caffeine, or lose your energy halfway through the day, the problem may begin inside your cells.
In this solo episode of hol+, Dr. Taz explains why your body may be “biologically bankrupt,” meaning it is using energy faster than it can rebuild it. She breaks down three hidden causes of low energy: mitochondria that are not producing enough power, declining NAD levels, and old “zombie cells” that remain in the body and increase inflammation.
You’ll also learn simple ways to support your energy, including better sleep, moderate exercise, stress management, intermittent fasting, and nutrients such as magnesium, B vitamins, CoQ10, and quercetin.
In this episode:
Why you may still feel tired after sleeping
How your cells create energy
The connection between fatigue and brain fog
What mitochondrial dysfunction means
Why NAD matters for energy and cellular repair
What “zombie cells” are
How inflammation drains your energy
Why caffeine and sugar only provide a temporary boost
How sleep and exercise help rebuild cellular energy
Practical ways to stop running on empty
