Ever feel drained even though you feel like you sleep well enough and eat at least pretty healthy?
That’s our least beloved friend, fatigue, but he doesn’t only show up when you need more rest.
There are several types of fatigue, and we’re going to go over each one, a first step in understanding how to make ourselves feel better as we shift from one season to the next.
With summer around the corner, what better time to see what’s behind our exhaustion, and how to heal it, before the days get longer, warmer and more active.
The “information overload” edition of fatigue, mental fatigue is like if your brain were a browser and you simply have far too many tabs open. Whether you’re tackling work deadlines, constant decision making for your team or office, or dealing with non-stop notifications on any of your devices, this mental exhaustion can make even the smallest or easiest task feel like a giant insurmountable burden.
What some might call “quiet burnout,” emotional fatigue is a deep-hitting kind of tired that weighs us down with feelings of irritability, low motivation or thoughts of being “just done” and “over it.”
This type of fatigue can result from a consistent processing of stress without proper recharge or load management, constantly putting others before ourselves, and other management of our relationships that can take an energetic toll.
This is when your body is TIRED tired, whether from frequently exercising, not moving enough or just pushing through each day without fully listening to what your body’s trying to tell you. Physical fatigue can also be caused by inflammation, lack of proper nutrients or poor digestion.
When you transition to a different season, calendars may become fuller, travel may become more frequent, or you might just find yourself doing more smaller activities you thoroughly enjoy. Even if it makes you happy, it can be fatiguing without proper steps, especially in summer. Sun and socializing demand energy in different ways; take care of yourself accordingly (and have fun doing it).
No matter which fatigue you’re feeling, one of the most impactful places to support is your gut. When your digestive system is inflamed or overloaded, it can quietly drain your energy, dull your focus, and disrupt your mood.
The Shorba Reset Program was designed exactly for moments like this. It’s a short-term, gut-nourishing reset rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom and sippable broth-based meals.
The result? Helping your system rest, rebuild, and come back online with more clarity, energy and ease.
Because feeling tired all the time doesn’t have to be your normal.
