Struggling with Meal Planning and Low Energy

Does anyone have advice for meal planning or what vitamins/supplements to be taking?? I'm struggling so hard and it's like I have 0 energy for anything 😭 I don't even know where to start

I suggest taking a multivitamin to give the body the basics to function. Omega 3 helps with my mental clarity. Ginseng root is a natural stimulant without the jitters. I would avoid carbs and starches because that causes a lot of inflammation in the body that causes lethargy. Inflammation prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. Whether you know you have gut inflammation or not, I suggest going on an anti-inflammatory diet.

I have multiple compounding chronic conditions, one of which being Ehlers-Danlos, of course. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia, & a few others which KEEP ME EXHAUSTED! That being said, not much does ANYTHING in the way of helping my fatigue. But, I started taking Spurilina (a blue/green algae) & it works wonders for me! I take the green tablet form, and/or blue powder (blue gives more energy) & neither makes me jitterbug, or crash! I 🙏🏽 this is helpful. Lord bless you. ✝️💯🫂🕊️🙏🏽🫶🏽❤️‍🔥🤗🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Omg thank you!!! I will definitely look into that! And I'm also curious, how did you know you had fibromyalgia as well? I feel like I might have it but I got the diagnosis from a bad doctor so I don't know if it's accurate or not. The symptoms all seem to overlap! I can't really tell which is which, but I definitely have a lot of muscle tenderness and weakness

Iron, vitamin B complex, and electrolytes have all helped with my energy. It also helped that I found a provider (a naturopath) who actually listens to me, looks at things holistically, and wants to problem-solve.
