Worried about her health at this rate. Too much stress on the body! Your body will definitely let you know when it's too much and it's too much. Also, her body is shutting down when she's driving. That's scary and if that isn't sending a message to rest I don't know what is!
This is going to seem harsh but have you considered that doing what seems to be a pretty full on full time job plus two side gigs plus waking at 4 every day may be what’s making you tired? You also mention sitting down to work on the weekends and almost falling asleep. The point of the weekend is to rest your body and mind. Falling asleep when you’re not meant to is your body telling you to slow down, and no amount of supplements or scammy diets from tech weirdos is going to fix that.
The two days we all call the weekend was the brain child of Henry Ford because we all need time to spend the money they pay us. Nothing is meant to be anything. To make massive progress in life, this is how it looks.
Girl, I’m tired just thinking about keeping up with the schedule you had in this vlog. I’m really enjoying all of your videos! You are a natural in front of the camera.
I wish I could thumbs up this comment 100 times! I feel like the fact that she has what seems like a demanding full time job in office with a ferry commute two days a week and a 1.5 hour commute the rest of the week plus she works out, takes care of her animals and keeps herself fed and dressed well is a feat in itself. This girl is literally the “That girl” and she has two side gigs plus RUclips. I totally agree with you, She should drop the side gigs and keep the RUclips. Her channel will continue to grow and hopefully she will be able to pay off her debt with her earnings from RUclips.
Not enough good sleep, not enough calories/good energy in, doing waaaay too much in the day, not enough downtime/rest….. all contribute to exhaustion/over tiredness. I’ve got crohns and I know for me that I need to eat enough (mostly plant based/some dairy), get good proper sleep and not over do my day. If I don’t I’m falling asleep mid afternoon. I stopped drinking 6 years ago, best decision for me…. Moderation was never my thing, do I miss it… yes! I love a drink 🫣😂. I think changes around food/booze need to be not 100% one way the other, it’s about finding your balance. Concentrate on maybe enough good calories in for a while, see if that makes a difference. Meal prepped meals are good for this…. Then you don’t have to worry about cooking etc maybe? Morbid is a good true crime podcast! I know you prefer to have a certain amount in savings to feel ‘safe’ but putting that towards your debt, potentially clearing it. Gets the debt gone, then you can concentrate on saving again. Rather than not dealing with the stress of debt and saving etc.
Looking at your schedule your body is just tired of having so much to do. Your body screams for rest. I believe it is at a constant state of stress. To little sleep, long long days. Coffee to keep you going, and of course when the caffeine drops the surpressed sleep catches up on you. The number one thing in my opinion for you would be getting enough sleep. Alcohol also disrupts your deep sleep. Sending you a lot of rest and take care of yourself 😊
I loved this vlog. I asked you in a previous one if you'd take us on a tour of Nantucket so I'm over the moon. What a beautiful place. I also loved the dress that you wore to your works evening with the sheer sleeves. Keep on doing what you're doing on here, I've enjoyed every single one.
Your honesty combined with your chic/beauty combined with the struggles of life, that many can relate to, I think is the reason for your success here on youtube. I watch every video :-) But try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Your schedule is heavy...
There is a difference between physical rest and mental rest. We need both. I felt like this for years too because I was so burnt out and working way past my capacity.
As a former binge drinker who's now 7 years sober, I can relate so much to your speech about drinking because I said similar things to myself so many times before I quit for good. I knew when I hit my rock bottom that I could 100% never drink again or I would end up killing myself or having something else catastrophic happen. The difference here is that for me, drinking in moderation was extremely rare. One or two drinks would turn into 10+ drinks 99% of the time, as if I had no true understanding of my own patterns - always thinking this time will be different, I'll only have 1 or 2 and I'll be good. I personally think that if you truly know that you can moderate yourself & you're not getting shitfaced when you drink, then you should enjoy a drink when you want one. It's always hard breaking a habit, but if your goal of quitting drinking was never long term from the beginning & you're a responsible drinker, then do it responsibly & don't feel guilty for breaking your sobriety streak.
I think your schedule is probably the number one cause if your fatigue. Side note, I was a lifelong anemic (hct in the 20s). I went 100% vegan over a decade ago and once I switched my iron deficiency anemia resolved!! I attribute it to the amount of beans/legumes I now eat on a regular basis. I’m not sure what your intake of those look like? People fear the bean but they are associated consistently with overall improved health and longevity 😊 I love your vlogs ! PS I would not go back to drinking. You put so much effort into your health that it doesn’t make sense. Mocktails amd NA beers have come a LONG way if you enjoy the flavor. If it is the high/chill effect you miss, then you definitely want to avoid alcohol.
This is very relatable. A few years ago I went to grad school full time, and since my scholarship didn’t cover all tuition, I had a part time internship and a part time side hustle. I did all of this for two years, and it was exhausting, but it helped me to stay debt free. I gave up my side hustle immediately after I got a full time job, as the money wasn’t worth extra stress and other sacrifices. I hope you pay off your debt as quickly as you can, because this work schedule isn’t sustainable and it can wreck your mental health
@@dbalemon I got a lot of great life skills out of that experience, like short-term and long-term budgeting, sticking to a budget / schedule, time management etc. So I don’t regret it, but I would prefer to avoid doing it again haha. During the most difficult times, reminding myself why I was doing it, that it was temporary and it would end in a specific month/year really helped me stay motivated to keep going. In the end it was all worth it, and it was kind of empowering! Now I have this cool superpower that I can use when I really need it, I can learn new things I’ve never done before, and I’m not afraid of change, even though it’s usually stressful. It also helped me understand my limits. So thanks for sharing your experience on YT! I love your channel, and I think a lot of people who watch your videos will be motivated to take control of their life and finances. I actually opened an HYSA after watching one of your videos, so thanks!
Your schedule is insane! My body would be exhausted just from that schedule with full-time work plus 2 side gigs (not even counting daily routine tasks, Your RUclips content work, and workouts). Maybe taking more "real" breaks in the day and upping your calories would help? Taking the weekends off would help a lot I think. Also, I love where you live. So beautiful, and reminds me of Gilmore Girls.
Yes you could do this more. Definitely one of the most interesting "here's my issues in a week/ here's what I'm fixing" vlogs on RUclips. Real. Not faked, overproduced, over-edited or over-rage-baity. Those are vlog types that had traction but now there are posters who are tired of it, and there are even block lists. Seems a problem for some comes in when they talk about being broke, then they sell memberships and levels. Those members may feel some way about judging the spending they are helping regularly fund? Not saying whether or not to do memberships, just saying there's a lot of feelings right now
I love your content. Slowly but surely yourl are opening up to us and getting personal. I thank you for that. Keep going with the no alcohol journey. I dont miss it and it doesnt do much for us.
You need to do a sleep study! Look into IHS and narcolepsy. What you’re describing is me to a tee and having a sleep study to validate my sleep issues was freeing, and there are medications that can help. Sunosi has been a life saver for me.
Look into magnesium deficiency. From what I’ve learned, most people are deficient in magnesium. It affected my sleep and I would get leg/toe cramps, fatigued and foggy headed. I take magnesium glycinate at night before bed and I feel like a new person! I’m 60 years old, and work a full time corporate job. I used to get that feeling of not being able to keep my eyes open. It was awful! My doctor ran blood work on me and it showed I was very low in Vitamin D. I take vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 every day. When you have low vitamin D, your bones hurt! I did not want to feel like an old lady! I can honestly say I feel 100% better now!
Bingo!!! I had same issues as a 45 y/o woman with a similar diet and work schedule of her while being self-employed. I live in Chicagoland and my Vitamin D levels were trash due to our climate. I'm slowly feeling better every day now that I know it wasn't just work.
@@TJ-yv3kp I thought my body pain was from working out! I’ve been going to the gym 3 days a week for almost a year! I shouldn’t have that “first week workout” soreness! It’s because I’d slacked off on taking my vitamin D! I have to take it everyday no matter what! I hate feeling weak and in pain.
Just would like to offer that your fatigue sounds like CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) which is just a mind body condition. Look into nervous system regulation and maybe look at past traumas and how they could be stuck in your body still. I have been healing from my own mind body conditions and that type of work is the thing that has tremendously helped me. Diet is still a great place to start as well, good luck :)
Driving with a heel can scrape the back of your shoe. As you angle your driving foot to drive the spike or platform of the shoe will make the back cup of the shoe come into contact with the nap of the carpet and friction will rub off the finish of that single shoe. Also, a high heel can make your foot slip when sudden braking or braking in general. Avoid driving in heels or shoes with poor grip.
I think you need a 3-day rest vacation(or stay-cation) at least monthly(: Where you do zero working, get great sleep, and just rest your mind and body. I have a crazy schedule too (usually 50 hour work weeks and make it a point to walk my dogs as much as I can ... like to meal prep, prep all of their fresh dog food weekly, cleaning the house, working out, lawn care, etc) Just listing this out makes me tired and know that I need to take some of my days off just for rest. It's hard not to feel guilty for resting when we're young, healthy and should be "making the most of each day....carpe diem" But it's 100% vital for longevity(: You don't want to look back over the past 10 years and not be able to remember much of it bc your brain is too fatigued to store permanent memories
Stop. Take a long break. Breathe. And focus. Focus is going to be the key to success. By spreading yourself too thin, you greatly increase the chance of failure in whatever you are doing. Seems your goals are to improve financially and psychologically. Helpful idea might be Pareto Principle. Basically says 80% of your result will be due to 20% of your circumstances. Focus on those areas that give the best return on investment. Investment of time, money, and energy. Return being financial and/or psychological gain. Of course, adequate physical and mental health are prerequisites. Then an energetic focus on the few things that give you the most bang for the buck should increase your chance to get where you want to be. Doesn't have to be complicated or overwhelming. Clear head, clear goals, clear plan, and clear focus can get you there.
Love this style of video! It was great! This definitely is your niche girl. Look how your channel has grown from your first one already! I truly look forward to watching your videos. Have an awesome week and hoping you get some rest. You certainly have a busy life!😊
tbh i always felt like this when i was plant based. i was getting blood tests regularly, eating enough, supplementing correctly etc. i didn't want this to be the case but once i started incorporating animal protein sources i felt soo much better
Elle, when you popped up with that bun, black chunky glasses and that Burberry jacket; my first thought was she looks so pretty. That look suits you so well ❤
Thank you for sharing this video! I hope that you know this comes from a kind place and I wish someone had suggested this to me. Last year I was feeling the same fatigue you mention. I was working out and eating well. I was getting good sleep and over 8 hrs. My blood work looked good. It wasn’t until I found someone to test my hormones that we found so many things wrong. A year later I get to actually live my life when not at work. It took hormone replacement therapy and a long list of supplements but now I am great and lowering or cutting out the supplements I originally needed. I hope you can get to the root of your problem. At the time that I finally found someone to help I was vegan as well. My diet was clean and unprocessed. I am happy to share who I went to for help. All online and via zoom calls for appointments. Wishing you well and I love your content!
Really enjoying your vlogs about your financial journey! Would love to know what brand your glasses are. I love the style and really need to replace my current ones. Thank you!
I do that! I sit in my car! Yes it’s warm and peaceful. I think I’ve done it at stages of my life when I’m very busy. Getting out of the car and into the next environment means having to do the ton of tasks that need doing in that next phase of the day. For me it’s kids, husband, house tasks. I just need to chill out on my own before it starts.
I loved the vlog and was excited to hear your thoughts on the Blue Print meals. You have quickly become one of my favorite RUclips creators and I am so glad you plan to keep going with the channel!
I very much hope that your change in diet will give you more energy and less fatigue! Iron supplements don't usually work well if you consume coffee. It could therefore be that your body cannot absorb the iron from the tablets well. Great vlog, thanks for sharing!
I have two friends- one is vegan and second is vegetarian and they both have folate deficinecy anemia. If you had not tested the level of folic acid maybe it is worth consdering
Opinions from someone who unintentionally “stopped drinking alcohol” and someone who has a hectic schedule, the main thing I found after not drinking for a while was how much more noticeable the effects were after having just one drink - feeling sluggish and generally dehydrated the following day. Now I might have a drink every few months or so but I do so knowing that the following day will not be productive. Sometimes it is worth it. Most of the time it is not.
No wonder you need to sit in your car - it sounds like the only rest you ever get! Sounds like burnout to me. I echo other commenters, drop the other side hustles and stick with RUclips - we love you!
No girl sometimes I sit in my car for an hour when I get home because it's the only time I can pause. Like something shuts down and I know that when I get out it's on to do yet more crap I need to get done. And same with the being tired no matter what. I've been tested for everything and no matter how much I sleep or what I eat I never feel rested. I really think it's mental stress though.
You are doing an awful lot of stuff, and you are trying to do it all perfectly. You need to figure out a way to reduce your stress load. Give yourself a break. You're worth it.
I love your honesty and vulnerablility ~ but I am speaking as someone who is coming out from a burnout and I am just concerned about your every day schedule 🙏 it sounds really stressful and packed and full of "musts" and "has to"s ❤ I cant see you going on like that for a long time without crashing into the wall..
I’m def no doctor but I’ve deduced through study and research that a chronic low energy is correlated with our nervous system states. Parasympathetic and sympathetic. But that’s about all I feel comfortable bc it’s so outside my wheelhouse. But worth looking into imo.
Hey I started getting Botox (actually Xeomin) in my traps and neck because of that chronic knot/clenching and it’s such a relief. My insurance covers most of it. If your provider does it I’d recommend it to anyone who has chronic pain related to muscle tension. I have no pain at all anymore. It would be with the neurology department of your hospital. It’s not approved just for pain but if they can link it with a movement disorder it is.
Oof, very sorry to hear about your exhaustion. Have you tested B12 and Vitamin D? Is it side effect of other medication you may take? Also Thyroid test T3 and T4? Perhaps C-Pap for sleep? And i'm on Blueprint, it's good but it is lacking in supplements for women ( lacks iron and certain collagen and B vitamins for hormones) but great :) . And Oura ring is UNMATCHED. Love it! Really hope you feel better!
As a nutritionist that diet plan sounds terrible it’s too restrictive Basic balanced eating is best but if you need help I get why a plan might work. May be more rewarding for you to just follow and track macros like you do your budget you may enjoy it. I doubt the nutrition is the issue for your fatigue like Many others said you are working a lot
You're doing a great job! It's refreshing to see someone work really hard for what they want in life in this instant gratification age. I also love Bryan Johnson and have been debating whether or not to get his program, but I could only find content from men, so it's great seeing a fellow woman testing his program. Looking forward to your results! With that being said, I know Bryan doesn't drink alcohol. Do you think consuming it would interfere with your program test results?
So far I like Blueprint. I’m not following it exactly but love the Nutty Pudding and Longevity Mix. I absolutely think it would interfere with this program. I haven’t had a drink yet, I keep going back and forth. There really aren’t any upsides so it should be easy but it’s not.
I remember I saw a video for a lady who was vegan for years, and then in her forties she started getting so tired,, with high levels of cortisol,, she said she got all types of vitamins recommended for vegans, but finally she started eating fish and she said all that tiredness has gone!! I will try to look her video, I saw it couple years ago.
Cant wait to see how your energy level does with the changes to your diet! If you need video ideas- can you do a video on your social media ads side job?! Sounds interesting!!!!
Get a sleep study done and look into idiopathic hypersomnia. Hypersomina = excessive sleepiness, specifically daytime. Idiopathic = reason unknown. It's in the narcolepsy family and very similar to narcolepsy type 2. I was very similar, down to falling asleep as soon as I sat down at the computer. Labs were always fine.
Loved this video! It would be great to see these kinds of videos more often. I have been eating Bryan Johnsons nutty pudding for breakfast for the past few months. It has made a really big difference in my mood throughout the mornings and I feeling fuller for longer compared to when I was eating porridge. Now I have an even sustainable source of fuel. It will be interesting to see how you feel as time goes on as well. Coffee may be contributing to your tiredness as well as it has a masking effect when it comes to delaying the neurotransmitter binding in your brain. I know you love coffee but this may be something else to try cutting out. Steven Bartlett has interviewed Michael pollan (wrote a book about caffeine) and Matthew walker (sleep). You might want to check these out. There is also another one with Gary Brecka that you might like as well in regards to vitamin deficiencies.
I am loving your vlogs so happy you are doing them!!! How did your drive go did you get tired or did you stay awake and feel okay? I am thinking you may want to beef up your super B complex intake and lots of Vit D3
I grew up the town where the Schamonchi used to run to Vineyard Haven. Meanwhile, I've never been to Nantucket, only the Vineyard which is crazy. It's on my list of places I need to visit, unfortunately I now live on the other end of the lower 48 states in San Diego. 😂 I used to watch a ton of true crime - I don't watch it as much but sometimes I watch Stephanie Harlow or Kendall Rae. IDK about alcohol. You can find research that it's bad for you, you can find research that it's good for you. I think everything in moderation, if you enjoy a glass of wine, you only live once (not saying go and abuse it but... you know what I mean).
Just stop caring and overthinkng 😳😳 Time is the most precious commodity you can never get back . let people say what ever they want your health is the number one priority. .. 😘 you are a beautiful person🙏🙏. Have you had your bloods tested for iron levels.?? Take care lol 💕💕
Right before I was fired from my job at an insurance company, my supervisors were bringing me projects that had ridiculous timeframes, “This needs to be done in 1:30.” Everything was rushed. I ended up coming in on a Saturday to work on something. I even brought my son in with me. I got no compliments on my work. My supervisor, Jim, who was literally illiterate, and couldn’t string two sentences together correctly like I’m doing here, told me, “I think your attitude stinks!” That was the day I quit. I wasn’t going to take that from somebody who was hired because of sister and who had let himself get so low in life that he lived in his car and his father’s basement. The General Counsel was told to give him awards in the thousands, and all kinds of stuff. He was a real creepy guy. I had to get away from that!
You are an amazing lady, may i just say my son was plant based for 11 years, the last year he was so exhausted and basically not well he had to make the choice to eat meat again he cried for a while but now that tiredness has gone ❤ xx
It’s such a hard choice but yes plant base was making me sick so when I came to terms that I needed meat to function properly it made so much of a difference.
Well I'm vegan and have been vegan for over 20 years and I'm not tired... She has just imbalance in her nervous system and too many things to do. Nobody can't be healthy with so much stress she has. I hope she will get healthy and have balance first in her life and then after that in her body ❤🙏.
@@sanna.katariinai think everyones bodies are different some people can be plant based others cant, aside from the tiredness, his teeth were crumbling and his hair was falling out so no i wasnt going to allow my son to get sick, he is fine now
I dont drink alchool at all. Never did. Dont like. That said .....please please drink a glass of wine. Enjoy life. My husband loves a good red wine and ...... Of course he drinks aglass or two. Ohhhh please enjoy life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Unfortunately hair is expensive around here. Believe it or not, she’s one of the least expensive hair dressers. The lotion is Bum Bum Cream. It’s a summer scent. I’ve had it for months, have been trying to get rid of it.
I have a fulltime job and took on a part time that turned full time- i quite that one because it was just too much. work life balance was non existent.
Girl who works full time and has 2 side jobs is not “low energy person” - she is just tied! Take care of yourself
THIS!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Worried about her health at this rate. Too much stress on the body! Your body will definitely let you know when it's too much and it's too much. Also, her body is shutting down when she's driving. That's scary and if that isn't sending a message to rest I don't know what is!

exactly
I thougt the same ❤
completely agree, especially if her blood work comes back normal.
The two days we all call the weekend was the brain child of Henry Ford because we all need time to spend the money they pay us. Nothing is meant to be anything. To make massive progress in life, this is how it looks.

Bingo!!! I had same issues as a 45 y/o woman with a similar diet and work schedule of her while being self-employed. I live in Chicagoland and my Vitamin D levels were trash due to our climate. I'm slowly feeling better every day now that I know it wasn't just work.
@@TJ-yv3kp I thought my body pain was from working out! I’ve been going to the gym 3 days a week for almost a year! I shouldn’t have that “first week workout” soreness! It’s because I’d slacked off on taking my vitamin D! I have to take it everyday no matter what! I hate feeling weak and in pain.
Super fun hanging out with you! Can’t wait for the next.
Enjoy life a little…it goes by so fast! And you thinking you looked ugly 😢. Girl you are beautiful!!!
Thank you 💛
Love watching and listening to you… You got me because you are honest!!! Nobody is perfect!
Your schedule is crazy! I’d be tired too. I hope your new nutrition plan works to help you cope. Your vlogs are NEVER boring. I’ve enjoyed them all.
Just would like to offer that your fatigue sounds like CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) which is just a mind body condition. Look into nervous system regulation and maybe look at past traumas and how they could be stuck in your body still. I have been healing from my own mind body conditions and that type of work is the thing that has tremendously helped me. Diet is still a great place to start as well, good luck :)
Driving with a heel can scrape the back of your shoe. As you angle your driving foot to drive the spike or platform of the shoe will make the back cup of the shoe come into contact with the nap of the carpet and friction will rub off the finish of that single shoe. Also, a high heel can make your foot slip when sudden braking or braking in general. Avoid driving in heels or shoes with poor grip.
Love your vlogs! Can't believe how early your day starts!
The vlog was good. It is interesting to watch other people’s lives. It is real. Good and bad. Thanks for sharing!❤
I think you need a 3-day rest vacation(or stay-cation) at least monthly(: Where you do zero working, get great sleep, and just rest your mind and body. I have a crazy schedule too (usually 50 hour work weeks and make it a point to walk my dogs as much as I can ... like to meal prep, prep all of their fresh dog food weekly, cleaning the house, working out, lawn care, etc) Just listing this out makes me tired and know that I need to take some of my days off just for rest. It's hard not to feel guilty for resting when we're young, healthy and should be "making the most of each day....carpe diem" But it's 100% vital for longevity(: You don't want to look back over the past 10 years and not be able to remember much of it bc your brain is too fatigued to store permanent memories
Stop. Take a long break. Breathe. And focus. Focus is going to be the key to success. By spreading yourself too thin, you greatly increase the chance of failure in whatever you are doing. Seems your goals are to improve financially and psychologically. Helpful idea might be Pareto Principle. Basically says 80% of your result will be due to 20% of your circumstances. Focus on those areas that give the best return on investment. Investment of time, money, and energy. Return being financial and/or psychological gain. Of course, adequate physical and mental health are prerequisites. Then an energetic focus on the few things that give you the most bang for the buck should increase your chance to get where you want to be. Doesn't have to be complicated or overwhelming. Clear head, clear goals, clear plan, and clear focus can get you there.
Just live a little. I drink about the same as you and I too noticed no difference when I quit.
Love this style of video! It was great! This definitely is your niche girl. Look how your channel has grown from your first one already! I truly look forward to watching your videos. Have an awesome week and hoping you get some rest. You certainly have a busy life!😊
Thanks so much!!
tbh i always felt like this when i was plant based. i was getting blood tests regularly, eating enough, supplementing correctly etc. i didn't want this to be the case but once i started incorporating animal protein sources i felt soo much better
Elle, when you popped up with that bun, black chunky glasses and that Burberry jacket; my first thought was she looks so pretty. That look suits you so well ❤
Thank you for sharing this video! I hope that you know this comes from a kind place and I wish someone had suggested this to me. Last year I was feeling the same fatigue you mention. I was working out and eating well. I was getting good sleep and over 8 hrs. My blood work looked good. It wasn’t until I found someone to test my hormones that we found so many things wrong. A year later I get to actually live my life when not at work. It took hormone replacement therapy and a long list of supplements but now I am great and lowering or cutting out the supplements I originally needed. I hope you can get to the root of your problem. At the time that I finally found someone to help I was vegan as well. My diet was clean and unprocessed. I am happy to share who I went to for help. All online and via zoom calls for appointments. Wishing you well and I love your content!
Take vitamin D3, B12, B6 and magnesium. That could help you. Also stop waking at 4am, try 6am or 7am if you can, see if that helps
Really enjoying your vlogs about your financial journey! Would love to know what brand your glasses are. I love the style and really need to replace my current ones. Thank you!
I do that! I sit in my car! Yes it’s warm and peaceful. I think I’ve done it at stages of my life when I’m very busy. Getting out of the car and into the next environment means having to do the ton of tasks that need doing in that next phase of the day. For me it’s kids, husband, house tasks. I just need to chill out on my own before it starts.
I loved the vlog and was excited to hear your thoughts on the Blue Print meals. You have quickly become one of my favorite RUclips creators and I am so glad you plan to keep going with the channel!
I very much hope that your change in diet will give you more energy and less fatigue! Iron supplements don't usually work well if you consume coffee. It could therefore be that your body cannot absorb the iron from the tablets well. Great vlog, thanks for sharing!
6:43 have you been check for thalassemia ?
Thanks😃, enjoyed your vlog, seeing Nantucket, because I like to read the Erin Hilderbrand books. It´s like I imgagined it! Greetings from Germany.
Nantucket is amazing. Thanks for watching from Germany! 😊💛
Fwiw, I would be tired too if I had your schedule. I need way more chill down time to restore my energy!
Loved the vlog, please make more vlogs ❤
I have two friends- one is vegan and second is vegetarian and they both have folate deficinecy anemia. If you had not tested the level of folic acid maybe it is worth consdering
Opinions from someone who unintentionally “stopped drinking alcohol” and someone who has a hectic schedule, the main thing I found after not drinking for a while was how much more noticeable the effects were after having just one drink - feeling sluggish and generally dehydrated the following day. Now I might have a drink every few months or so but I do so knowing that the following day will not be productive. Sometimes it is worth it. Most of the time it is not.
No wonder you need to sit in your car - it sounds like the only rest you ever get! Sounds like burnout to me. I echo other commenters, drop the other side hustles and stick with RUclips - we love you!
This was great to watch during my appointment for compression boots post marathon. Love your vlogs!
No girl sometimes I sit in my car for an hour when I get home because it's the only time I can pause. Like something shuts down and I know that when I get out it's on to do yet more crap I need to get done. And same with the being tired no matter what. I've been tested for everything and no matter how much I sleep or what I eat I never feel rested. I really think it's mental stress though.
I never miss an episode of “Just Thought Lounge” and “Truly Criminal”. Highly recommend both! ❤
Oh, good to know, I’ll check it out.
Do you have a CO2 /soda stream delivery in your area.? It is usually much cheaper than retail stores and they deliver
Yes, I never considered looking into that, good call.
You are doing an awful lot of stuff, and you are trying to do it all perfectly. You need to figure out a way to reduce your stress load. Give yourself a break. You're worth it.
and do things that bring you joy. drawing, reading, creating anything just for fun and meditate
I too struggle with low energy. Giving up coffee (as of this past Monday) and will let you know if that changes anything.
I love your honesty and vulnerablility ~ but I am speaking as someone who is coming out from a burnout and I am just concerned about your every day schedule 🙏 it sounds really stressful and packed and full of "musts" and "has to"s ❤ I cant see you going on like that for a long time without crashing into the wall..
Had the same thing happen to me. It was because i worked out in the morning before work. I workout in the evenings, no problems!
I’m def no doctor but I’ve deduced through study and research that a chronic low energy is correlated with our nervous system states. Parasympathetic and sympathetic.
But that’s about all I feel comfortable bc it’s so outside my wheelhouse. But worth looking into imo.
Ps i absolutely loved the vlog you have a very calming voice ❤
Since you’re vegan,it’ll most likely be low protein. Use protein suplements. Should get better.
Hey I started getting Botox (actually Xeomin) in my traps and neck because of that chronic knot/clenching and it’s such a relief. My insurance covers most of it. If your provider does it I’d recommend it to anyone who has chronic pain related to muscle tension. I have no pain at all anymore. It would be with the neurology department of your hospital. It’s not approved just for pain but if they can link it with a movement disorder it is.
I’ve never heard about this, amazing thank you!
Please keep up with vlogs
I loved this vlog!😊
Oof, very sorry to hear about your exhaustion. Have you tested B12 and Vitamin D? Is it side effect of other medication you may take? Also Thyroid test T3 and T4? Perhaps C-Pap for sleep? And i'm on Blueprint, it's good but it is lacking in supplements for women ( lacks iron and certain collagen and B vitamins for hormones) but great :) . And Oura ring is UNMATCHED. Love it! Really hope you feel better!
As a nutritionist that diet plan sounds terrible it’s too restrictive
Basic balanced eating is best but if you need help I get why a plan might work.
May be more rewarding for you to just follow and track macros like you do your budget you may enjoy it.
I doubt the nutrition is the issue for your fatigue like
Many others said you are working a lot
I’ve had two iron infusions . It takes 45 minutes per session. I feel so much better. Iron pills don’t work for me.
I’m the same. One full time job and two part time jobs. I’m exhausted
love these videos! I agree with those suggesting to have your hormones checked! eye on the prize.
Try the Serial podcast! It stopped as well but the two seasons we got were sooooooooo good
You're doing a great job! It's refreshing to see someone work really hard for what they want in life in this instant gratification age. I also love Bryan Johnson and have been debating whether or not to get his program, but I could only find content from men, so it's great seeing a fellow woman testing his program. Looking forward to your results! With that being said, I know Bryan doesn't drink alcohol. Do you think consuming it would interfere with your program test results?
So far I like Blueprint. I’m not following it exactly but love the Nutty Pudding and Longevity Mix. I absolutely think it would interfere with this program. I haven’t had a drink yet, I keep going back and forth. There really aren’t any upsides so it should be easy but it’s not.
I remember I saw a video for a lady who was vegan for years, and then in her forties she started getting so tired,, with high levels of cortisol,, she said she got all types of vitamins recommended for vegans, but finally she started eating fish and she said all that tiredness has gone!! I will try to look her video, I saw it couple years ago.
Cant wait to see how your energy level does with the changes to your diet! If you need video ideas- can you do a video on your social media ads side job?! Sounds interesting!!!!
Get a sleep study done and look into idiopathic hypersomnia. Hypersomina = excessive sleepiness, specifically daytime. Idiopathic = reason unknown. It's in the narcolepsy family and very similar to narcolepsy type 2. I was very similar, down to falling asleep as soon as I sat down at the computer. Labs were always fine.
Loved this video! It would be great to see these kinds of videos more often.
I have been eating Bryan Johnsons nutty pudding for breakfast for the past few months. It has made a really big difference in my mood throughout the mornings and I feeling fuller for longer compared to when I was eating porridge. Now I have an even sustainable source of fuel. It will be interesting to see how you feel as time goes on as well.
Coffee may be contributing to your tiredness as well as it has a masking effect when it comes to delaying the neurotransmitter binding in your brain. I know you love coffee but this may be something else to try cutting out. Steven Bartlett has interviewed Michael pollan (wrote a book about caffeine) and Matthew walker (sleep). You might want to check these out. There is also another one with Gary Brecka that you might like as well in regards to vitamin deficiencies.
What’s that salad/lunch you were having?! Looked yum!!
Lol a random mix of vegetables and guacamole 😊
9:16 ha same with sitting in the car lol
I am loving your vlogs so happy you are doing them!!! How did your drive go did you get tired or did you stay awake and feel okay? I am thinking you may want to beef up your super B complex intake and lots of Vit D3
do you mind to share the selfie stick you bought to record?
I love crime podcasts and I really enjoy Kendall Ray and Annie Elise X 10 to Life. Both are pretty good at narrating the story (in my opinion :))
Sleep apnea!! Have you been checked??
I grew up the town where the Schamonchi used to run to Vineyard Haven. Meanwhile, I've never been to Nantucket, only the Vineyard which is crazy. It's on my list of places I need to visit, unfortunately I now live on the other end of the lower 48 states in San Diego. 😂
I used to watch a ton of true crime - I don't watch it as much but sometimes I watch Stephanie Harlow or Kendall Rae.
IDK about alcohol. You can find research that it's bad for you, you can find research that it's good for you. I think everything in moderation, if you enjoy a glass of wine, you only live once (not saying go and abuse it but... you know what I mean).
Vitamin D helps me massively with energy! Have you tried that?
What about getting an assistant to help with client management and possibly editing?
Just stop caring and overthinkng 😳😳 Time is the most precious commodity you can never get back . let people say what ever they want your health is the number one priority. .. 😘 you are a beautiful person🙏🙏. Have you had your bloods tested for iron levels.?? Take care lol 💕💕
Right before I was fired from my job at an insurance company, my supervisors were bringing me projects that had ridiculous timeframes, “This needs to be done in 1:30.” Everything was rushed. I ended up coming in on a Saturday to work on something. I even brought my son in with me. I got no compliments on my work. My supervisor, Jim, who was literally illiterate, and couldn’t string two sentences together correctly like I’m doing here, told me, “I think your attitude stinks!” That was the day I quit. I wasn’t going to take that from somebody who was hired because of sister and who had let himself get so low in life that he lived in his car and his father’s basement. The General Counsel was told to give him awards in the thousands, and all kinds of stuff. He was a real creepy guy. I had to get away from that!
You are an amazing lady, may i just say my son was plant based for 11 years, the last year he was so exhausted and basically not well he had to make the choice to eat meat again he cried for a while but now that tiredness has gone ❤ xx
It’s such a hard choice but yes plant base was making me sick so when I came to terms that I needed meat to function properly it made so much of a difference.
Well I'm vegan and have been vegan for over 20 years and I'm not tired... She has just imbalance in her nervous system and too many things to do. Nobody can't be healthy with so much stress she has. I hope she will get healthy and have balance first in her life and then after that in her body ❤🙏.
@@sanna.katariinai think everyones bodies are different some people can be plant based others cant, aside from the tiredness, his teeth were crumbling and his hair was falling out so no i wasnt going to allow my son to get sick, he is fine now
@@joelizabeth12
I'm happy for your son and you that he is fine now❤️. Everybody has it's own path, I don't judge 🙏❤️.
Do you drink enough water? Dehydration makes me very fatigued. Also, chewing mint gum wakes me up a little. Just a few easy ideas.
I dont drink alchool at all. Never did. Dont like. That said .....please please drink a glass of wine. Enjoy life. My husband loves a good red wine and ...... Of course he drinks aglass or two. Ohhhh please enjoy life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
love your blazer and style!
I love your boots ❤❤❤ what are they? Where can I buy them ?
They are Fendi. I purchased them second hand through Vestiaire Collective.
They were pricey but absolutely no regrets.
@@dbalemon thank you! They are gorgeous 😻
Can you share where your blazer is from? So beautiful
I’m not sure which one you’re talking about? I don’t think I wore a blazer in this video?
What is the lotion you put on your hands😊 and what do you have done to you hair to make it a $350 appointment 🥺
Unfortunately hair is expensive around here. Believe it or not, she’s one of the least expensive hair dressers. The lotion is Bum Bum Cream. It’s a summer scent. I’ve had it for months, have been trying to get rid of it.
Also, do you make your own thumbnails? Or do you hire out? What is your process for making videos?
Why are you working so much? Life is too short to spend your life not enjoying it…. ❤
I know, you’re totally right. Once I’m debt free I’ll cut back a bit.
I love dreading!
I miss Jim Can't Swim. 😩 I'm not much of a true crime person but I watched all of their videos
you're doing way too much, you will suffer from burnout
I have a fulltime job and took on a part time that turned full time- i quite that one because it was just too much. work life balance was non existent.
❤❤❤
Sounds like sleep apnea to me. Have you ever been to a sleep laboratory?
5:05 omg this used to happen to me
