Product Information

There’s a bidirectional link between the gut and the brain, and that’s why a healthy gut microbiome is so important. Often our plates of food are beige, when research suggests we need to eat 30 different plants a week – which includes herbs and spices or nuts and seeds.” If you know that you don’t feel yourself for no reason whatsoever, that’s when you need to seek support.” Registered nutritionist and executive coach Karina Antram will help you to identify and understand these symptoms and their causes, as well as providing the tools to reclaim the energy that is so fundamental to health, happiness and mental wellbeing. Third is all about the foundational layers of well being sleep and exercise. We all need to sleep more, and exercise more, we know that.

Clean up your diet and focus on nutrient density, says Karina. It’s all about adding things in, not taking anything away. In fact, tiredness is one of your body's key ways of telling you that something isn't right, but many of us trudge through life feeling some level of fatigue or lethargy every single day.

Try and exercise as much as you can but doing the things that you love that aren’t always high impact. During my career working in a series of corporate roles, I suffered from burnout,” Karina says. “By retraining as a nutritionist and drawing on my experiences, I am able to empower people to look after their own health.” Combining her personal experience, expertise and scientific research, Fix Your Fatigue focusses on the tired reader – when she was suffering, Karina found books were heavy on science and didn’t account for the fatigued mind. That’s why at the end of each chapter, a “Too Tired, Didn't Read” section summarises what the reader might have missed. Her clinic is increasingly busy – a pattern linked to the impacts of long Covid and workplace stresses – and Karina knew she could reach even more people through writing. We are all unique and it’s important to have the ability to recognise the micro signs your body is giving you, so you can react accordingly. For me, I know I am fatigued when my eyelids start twitching, which can be a sign of magnesium deficiency. I also get pain in my jaw. When this happens, I soak in a bath with two large cups of magnesium salts – transdermal magnesium application is so effective. It’s about getting on top of your symptoms.” Exercise Is A Double-Edged Sword

Nutritionist and executive coach Karina Antram joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with cinch to talk about her debut book, Fix Your Fatigue: 5 Steps to Regaining Your Energy. We are so conditioned to over-achieve and it’s becoming almost like a badge of honour to over-work and almost celebrate tiredness and I think that’s really wrong. If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us And the fifth step, I think this is the most important one, is all about how you can harness the power of your brain. And that it's so important. You have to learn to manage your mind. And for me, that has been the best thing that I've done.One way of doing so is by tweaking family favourites. “Next time you’re making a spaghetti bolognese, try replacing half the meat with lentils, and half the pasta with spiralized vegetables. That way you’re getting your micronutrients and improving digestion.” 2. Optimise the gut microbiome Another tip she gives is to avoid multitasking. “I just think it's such a cognitive brain drain. If you're doing too many things at once. So if you're doing too many things at once you just feel terrible,” she said. We need to focus on big nutrition,” Karina says. “That’s nutrition that helps the brain, immune and gut. I want people to think about creating a balanced plate with good nutrient density by adding to the plate, not taking away.”
