Power Through: Natural Energy Support for Athletes

Fatigue is a silent threat in the athletic world. Whether you're training for a triathlon or grinding through daily workouts, energy is everything—and when it’s gone, your performance suffers.

Research shows that up to 60% of athletes experience low energy availability (LEA), where the body doesn't get enough fuel to meet both exercise demands and basic physiological needs. This can mean slower recovery, more frequent injuries, and even hormone disruption.

Signs Your Energy System is Breaking Down

• You’re constantly tired—even after rest days

• You’re losing motivation or mental sharpness

• Your performance is plateauing or declining

• You’ve had more injuries or illness than usual

  
  

Athletes are burning an average of 3,000–4,000 calories a day, but many don’t replenish properly—especially in weight-class, endurance, and aesthetic sports. That’s why energy loss in athletes isn’t just common—it’s a serious performance threat.

4 Natural Ways to Support Energy and Avoid Burnout

1. Prioritize Recovery and Sleep

   Sleep isn’t optional—it’s where your body repairs, recharges, and builds strength. Aim for 7–9 hours per night and avoid blue light before bed.

2. Fuel with High-Energy, Nutrient-Dense Foods

   Leafy greens, sweet potatoes, whole eggs, and healthy fats like avocado and olive oil support energy production. Carbs before workouts, protein after.

3. Lower Stress and Avoid Stimulants

   Caffeine and energy drinks may give a short-term boost, but they often lead to adrenal fatigue and energy crashes later in the day.

4. Use Dr. Cole’s Vitality Boost Balm Daily

   Designed by a naturopathic doctor after working with patients facing adrenal burnout, this balm supports your adrenal system and boosts natural energy without harsh stimulants. Apply each morning and again before lunch to help stabilize energy and avoid mid-day crashes.

   
   

   Directions: Rub across your lower back over the adrenal glands. Also apply to the wrists, temples, or behind knees where blue veins are visible.
