The Healthiest Meal of the Day

Among the most common health complaints of patients I see in my office are fatigue and digestive problems.

When talking about fatigue this can range from a mental tiredness to a sleepiness, from an inability to fall asleep to an inability to stay asleep, from a tiredness first thing upon waking to a fatigue that hits after lunch or in the evening where you fall asleep in front of the TV.  Basically this would be any unexplained lack of energy at anytime throughout the day.

Digestive problems can run the gamut including heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, gastritis, cramping, hypoglycemia, gallbladder problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, diarrhea, constipation, irregularity, gluten intolerance - the list goes on and on.

Both of these health problems are important to deal with as both will eventually result in much more serious health problems.  Our body does most of its rebuilding and repairing during the sleeping hours and if we can not get proper rest, then our body is not repairing properly and over time will degenerate more and more.  Fatigue can also indicate issues with the adrenal glands, which provide much of our energy during the day.  As for digestion - the old saying is that you "are what you eat."  But this is not exactly true.  In truth you are what you eat, what your body can properly digest and properly assimilate.  So if you suffer from digestive problems, it means your body is not properly absorbing the nutrients you are getting from your diet - it is just like you did not eat them in the first place.


Recently I have started recommending a healthy meal replacement called Shakeology to my patients who are suffering with fatigue and/or digestive problems, and the results have been absolutely amazing!  One patient was dealing with both issues - fatigue from mid-day on and IBS so bad that she literally had to get up from the table at EVERY meal and run to the bathroom.  Since starting Shakeology a very short time ago she now experiences increased energy throughout the day with no "crashes" and the IBS problem has completely cleared up.  These types of improvements have become common place with my patients.  Other health improvements noted include improvements with blood pressure, cholesterol levels, libido for both men and women, and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Shakeology contains healthy proteins as well as over 70 different phytonutrients gathered from around the world from the well known "superfoods", digestive enzymes and the list goes on and on.  The shake is gluten-free, caffeine-free, is easily tolerated, and best of all it takes GREAT!  Even my 6-year old daughter craves a Shakeology shake as a meal replacement for breakfast each morning.
