Send us Fan Mail We talk through why runners can feel exhausted and slower despite solid training, decent food, and real effort. Dr Jess Armine helps us connect fatigue, brain fog, burnout, and plateaus to cellular energy, gut function, stress load, and sleep so we can rebuild from the inside out. • why “wired but tired” can spiral into self-blame • how modern life adds constant stress that the body treats as a threat • mitochondria as cellular batteries and why energy drops over time • the cell danger response and why some people do not rebound after illness or chronic stress • why absorption matters and why some supplements do very little • liposomal vitamins and minerals as a practical starting point • leaky gut, chronic inflammation, and why digestion quality affects performance • simple gut support basics: digestive enzymes, acacia fibre, sensible probiotics • hydration choices that support recovery without excess sugar • sleep quality, circadian rhythm, and reducing night-time stimulation • training tweaks: pulling back, focusing on form, and adding cross-training you enjoy • key takeaways: performance is not just willpower, ageing is not a sentence, intuition is useful data Soc Media Links: Website: www.drjessarmine.com Link for a complimentary 30-min Discovery Session for prospective patients.
