Silent Signs Your Body Is In Trouble

As humans, we speak languages. Since you’re reading this, English is one of your languages. Understanding the words I’m writing helps you learn something new. So let’s use this skill for good use today.

You know what else has a language? Your body. Yes! Your body speaks to you. Sometimes very loudly.

I call this language symptoms, but you might call it:

• Headaches
• Exhaustion
• Feeling tired all the time
• Bloating
• Heartburn
• Brain fog or memory issues
• Wanting to lose weight but can’t no matter what you try
• Lots of food intolerances or allergies
• Skin problems like acne, dry skin, eczema
• Impotence
• Low or no sex drive
• Feeling drowsy or sluggish
• Any kind of joint pain

This is the language of the body. You may have one or two of these things, or all of them. Either way, this is your body talking to you. It has no words like we do in our language, so it talks to you by telling you you’re tired, in pain, uncomfortable. Things that were easy aren’t anymore.

All of these signs can point to something simple to fix, or more complicated. Either way, it’s vital for you to get yourself checked out. Start with getting a full physical and make sure your doctor runs a really comprehensive blood panel including Vitamin D levels (did you know that every cell in our body needs and uses Vitamin D?), your thyroid (but make sure they do a full panel including your TSH, T4, RT3 etc, just measuring TSH which most do doesn’t give you the full thyroid picture, that’s why there are millions of undiagnosed hypothyroid people walking around!), B12 levels, homocysteine, hemoglobin A1c. If your doc gives you a hard time about this, think about what your symptoms are and what would most make sense to test (ask me if you’re not sure!).

But: remember that when things show up in the blood, it’s already in a dis-ease state, which means you can be feeling like shit and nothing shows up in your blood – SO DON’T IGNORE IT!!!

Blood work isn’t the end all and be all, but once you do that and it comes back fine – where do you go?

You turn to a specialist like me. I run symptomology panels on my clients. Since symptoms are the body’s way of communicating with us, I can usually tell when a constellation of symptoms represents a bigger issue. 

For example, if you are having bloating, brain fog, food intolerances, fatigue, joint pain, carb/sugar cravings I would immediately think your digestive system. But you may just pass it off as getting older or working too much, being addicted to sugar. But ignoring these can have long-term consequences and an expert like me can pinpoint exactly what the problem is and get to work fixing the root cause instead of treating all the individual issues independently (which usually involves medication, which further makes you feel like shit).

Another example would be relentless exhaustion, burn out, skin issues, anxiety, and depression, salt cravings, sleep issues like waking up at 3 am, or struggling to get up in the morning, getting sick a lot. Again, a lot of people pass these off as stress, overwork, aging, and a normal part of life. You become so used to feeling like shit you have no idea what it feels like to have energy anymore. But I know that this is a big warning sign you have adrenal fatigue. But don’t bother going to your doc for this one – they don’t test for this, unfortunately. Instead, they will give you anti-depressants, sleeping pills, cortisone creams for your skin. Not their fault – they’re not trained to look at the body as a whole machine, they’re taught to treat symptoms. As your health alchemist, however, I look at all of these and say: dude, we need to sort out your adrenals. 

So if these things describe you, don’t pass it off as aging, or stress or part of everyday life. I walked around with these issues for years, now I’m 10 years older and am in better shape and feel more energized and healthy than I did 10 years ago. My clients all achieve the same results and can’t believe how much more energy they have after only a few weeks of working together.

You don’t have to walk around like a zombie, feeling like shit. Don’t ignore your body’s warning signs. Because if you do, the next time you get blood work done you may actually leave the office with a diagnosis. And ain’t nobody got time for that.
