Mostly A's – Stress-Based Fatigue

You may be in chronic fight-or-flight mode.
Your nervous system is likely overloaded and needs to reset.
Cortisol and adrenal imbalances could be zapping your energy.

Your sleep cycles may be disrupted or incomplete.
Your body isn’t getting deep rest, even when you’re in bed.
Poor sleep impacts hormone balance, brain fog, and mood.

Mostly C's – Hormonal or Toxic Fatigue

Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid function may be affecting your brain and energy.
Toxin exposure (from products, plastics, or environment) might be contributing.
Emotional swings, inflammation, and fogginess often come with this type.

💡 Focus on hormone-friendly nutrition, reduce fragrance exposure, and use targeted essential oils.

Mostly D's – Lifestyle & Nutrient Depletion

You’re likely running low on key vitamins, minerals, and consistency.
Lack of structure or nutrient-dense meals can create long-term fatigue.
This often shows up with unstable blood sugar and low motivation.
