2. Start taking essential fatty acids …
These are some of the most important things for normal functioning of the immune system, brain, heart, lungs, liver, bone, skin, hair and nail structure.
It is a combination of the Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that you do not get from your food. The best one is YES EFAs from YES Supplement, because of the correct ratio between the Omega 3 and Omega 6.
To Order YES™ Supplements you can Call 866-YES-1124, to get discount use my reference code 74847
The reason for not buying fish oil from your local pharmacy is the fact that it does not have Omega 6 in it and is usually highly processed – it can’t attract oxygen to your cells which is its main function. You can order them from yes-supplements.com.
3. Support your adrenals with some adaptogens …
Adaptogens are herbs that help your body handle stress and utilize fatty acids more efficiently as an energy source. They also help boost your immunity and strengthen your body.
You can use one of the following, or a combination of several, depending on your needs.
Planetary Formulas Schizandra Adrenal Complex (60 tablets), Swedish Herbal Institute – Original Arctic Root – 40 Tabs, Doctor’s Best Ultra Cordyceps Plus 60 C.
Take them once a day in the mid-afternoon or even twice a day after lunch and at 4pm, but never take them after 5-6 pm – you don’t need too much energy at night.
All these together will increase your energy level, reduce irritability, improve your mood and sleep pattern. Don’t let the winter blues get to you!

I have to agree that I have this “end of winter” fatigue and should look into taking minerals. This is a great post.
PS. I just checked my flaxseed oil vitamins and they have Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9 in them.
I think there is a trick with Omega 3,6 and 9 – the capsules they are making them in let oxigen get through, so once the bottle is open, they are no good (but the pharmaceutical companies do not say that on the box).
The only company that makes them in capsules that do not let oxigen in is YES essential oils. But you’d better confirm that with Sofiya to be sure…
Thanks Olga! :)
very good post thanks !!
