In this podcast episode, Nurse Doza discusses the common complaint of fatigue and offers insights into its possible causes. He emphasizes the importance of addressing fatigue, as it should not be a daily occurrence. He also recommends getting blood tests, particularly one for DHEAS, to assess adrenal function and the body's response to stress. He mentions that chronic stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can contribute to fatigue. Nurse Doza encourages listeners to prioritize self-care, including good sleep and stress management, to improve their energy levels and overall health.

Nurse Doza explores the power of Vitamin B6 in this episode of the Ingredient Series. From mood and sleep to stress resilience and neurotransmitter production, B6 is a silent workhorse most people are deficient in. Learn why the form P5P matters and how it helps support calm, focused energy.

✅ 5 Key Takeaways
 • Vitamin B6 is critical for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
 • Supports mood, sleep, and stress regulation
 • Creates “calm energy,” not stimulation
 • Best taken in the form P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
 • Included in MSW Nutrition’s Zen formula

Good Poops Protocol –is a powerful combination of supplements designed to support gut health, metabolism, and daily detox. One of the key ingredients is Berberine Plus, which works like a GLP-1 by helping control blood sugar, curb cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity—essential factors when building muscle and burning fat through resistance training.

Discover why resistance training is the best exercise for weight loss. Learn how lifting weights builds lean muscle mass, lowers blood sugar naturally, burns fat for energy, requires minimal equipment, and boosts sex hormone production for sustainable metabolic health and long-term results.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Resistance training builds lean muscle mass – Skeletal muscles function as metabolic organs that burn more calories at rest. After six months of consistent weight training, larger muscles increase your resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories throughout the day even when you're not exercising.

Lifting weights lowers blood sugar naturally – Resistance training improves blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity by directing sugar into muscles for energy and muscle building rather than storing it as fat in the liver. This makes it one of the most effective natural strategies for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes.

Weight training burns fat for energy long after your workout – Studies show resistance exercise creates genetic signals that jump-start fat-burning processes in fat cells, with elevated energy expenditure and fat burning continuing for at least 24 hours post-workout in both men and women.

You don't need expensive equipment or a gym membership – Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, planks, walking lunges, and yoga provide effective resistance training using your own body weight. A simple kettlebell at home can maximize your workout efficiency in just 20 minutes.

Resistance training increases sex hormone production – High-intensity resistance exercise significantly elevates testosterone levels in both men and women, while 12 weeks of resistance training improves estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, supporting reproductive health, bone density, and overall metabolic function.

JOIN THE SCHOOL
Struggling to stay consistent with resistance training or unsure how to structure your workouts for maximum fat loss? You're not alone. Many people start strong but lose momentum without proper guidance and community support.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Adrenal dysfunction is the primary cause of chronic fatigue - When stress overactivates your adrenal glands for years, cortisol production becomes imbalanced, disrupting sleep and draining energy even after a full night's rest.

Chronic inflammation creates debilitating tiredness - Conditions like insulin resistance, autoimmune disorders, liver issues, and chronic pain keep your body in a constant state of metabolic stress that depletes energy reserves.

Nutritional deficiencies directly impact energy production - Deficiencies in B vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12), choline, and vitamin D impair neurotransmitter production and cellular energy, with genetic factors like MTHFR compounding the problem.

Morning sunlight is non-negotiable for energy regulation - Just 10-15 minutes of morning sun exposure produces 10,000 IU of vitamin D, increases serotonin and cortisol naturally, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep and daytime energy.

Hormone decline accelerates fatigue after age 40 - Low testosterone in men and declining estrogen in women contribute significantly to persistent tiredness, but addressing adrenal health should always come before hormone replacement.

JOIN THE SCHOOL
Recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than just breathing exercises and supplements—your diet plays a crucial role in cortisol regulation and energy stability. That's why we're launching a 6-week "No Grains. No Sugar." class starting Thursday, January 15th. Eliminating grains and sugar helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and take stress off your adrenal glands—giving them the space they need to recover.
Beyond the structured classes, the School of Doza community connects you with others working through their own health transformations. Share what's working (and what's not), get accountability for your 90-day adrenal reset, and have your questions answered during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults. Whether you need help interpreting your DHEAS results, troubleshooting your HRV tracking, or figuring out why you're still crashing at 2 PM, the community and weekly sessions give you direct access to guidance and support.
Start with a FREE TRIAL and join us for the "No Grains. No Sugar." class to accelerate your adrenal recovery.
