Fighting Fatigue
Today’s show is all about fatigue, a problem most of us have faced at one time or another. Now to be clear fatigue isn’t just feeling tired. It’s really more of a persistent exhaustion that interferes with our day-to-day lives. If you’ve ever pushed through a 70-hour work week or you’re the parent of young kids, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
Sure, we all go through periods where we are worn out, drained, and depleted. But when the body is fatigued for long periods of time, it can actually be pretty detrimental to our long-term health. The good news is that there is actually a lot we can do to increase the quality of sleep that we get and train our bodies to rest well, without the help of sleeping pills or prescription meds. So let’s get right to it and meet our experts.
With me today are Dr. Carolina Gonzalez and Dr. Brad Brooks from Collaborative Natural Health Partners. Dr. Brooks is an Osteopathic Family Medicine Physician and he practices medicine with the understanding that health and disease have inertia, therefore he uses conventional and integrative practices to promote and maintain his patient’s inner source of wellness. Dr. Gonzalez is a Naturopathic Physician who is specifically interested in the impact of psychological stress on the body and she’s an expert in craniosacral therapy as a modality to relax the central nervous system.
Your Health Toolkit is a podcast created by the physicians from Collaborative Natural Health Partners (CNHP) – your go-to hub for holistic and integrated family healthcare in Connecticut and New York. At CNHP, we’ve crafted a special blend of expertise, bringing together naturopathic physicians (NPs), osteopathic medicine physicians (DOs), and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to offer you a warm, integrative, patient-centered approach to health and wellness.
