Boise Energy & Fatigue Relief Recommendations
Happiness requires physical energy, so lets study the physics of vibrant energy.
As time becomes increasingly shorter I decided to put up a page with my sleeping recommendations. Along with free videos below.
If you're interested in more targeted recommendations I offer for just $69.99 a month (1st month $109.99) personalized recommendations based on this intake form that includes detailed supplement recommendations, reading, podcasts, etc. That match your interests in achieving whatever health goal you seek. I also follow up with you once a week to see how you're doing with a simple survey to keep your goals at top of the mind of awareness ^_^.

Fatigue sucks hardcore A$$... Yeah, it's ok. I know this is a health website but believe me I put my own character into all of this ^o^. The shitty news is you're likely here because you're experiencing chronic fatigue, "adrenal fatigue", acute fatigue symptoms, brain-fog, high irritability, anxiety or maybe even depression? There are a number of conditions like Parkinson's, addiction, etc. that respond favorably by assessing b vitamin status and then replenishing with the correct end-chain forms as well as checking for genetic compatibility.
P.S. Start slow and do some labs to see your b vitamin status and consider a 23andMe test to see if you have genetic SNIPs that alter your ability to breakdown b vitamins. You can do TOO much of most of the B's. Methyl B12 may be the least prone to abuse or toxicity even in ultra high doses however do not do megadoses without having your status checked in particular for B6 as it can create neuroapthy-like symptoms which ironically is what it can address in high doses as well. Keep in mind that as with any supplement, treat it like a team member that you're just getting to know. Warm up to the supplement and test them one at a time unless under specific conditions that require more.
Selenium is one of the only things that helps correct hyperthroidsim and hypothyroidism.
You need tyrosine and iodine to make thyroid hormones. Know your thyroide peroxidase before taking iodine. only take 1 or 2mg if you have antibodies to thyroid. Iodine influenced salt showed a higher output of hasimotos however once studies further looked into it selenium was deficient in these populations and so selenium status seems to be critical to look at than test very low dose with iodine such as .5 gram of iodine.
Magnesium and Zinc are needed as co-factors for enzymatic reactions. So check RBC magnesium and zinc. The way you replete is by starting with a sequence from B1 all the way to ending with methylfolate. Because if you jump ahead and just take methyl b12 and methyl folate together in presence of oxidative stress you create something called peroxy nitrate which is highly toxic to all cells in the body. For the transport of B12 to enter the cells you need lithium orotate.
MTHFR SNIPS typically means you'll have difficulty breaking down folic acid which leads to a build up of toxic levels which lower your natural killer cells.
Labcore test for genetic SNIP
Alpha MSH hormone for guts that don't heal well.
Check chemical tolerance before detoxing. Chemical immune-reactivity is the first thing to check before you begin detoxifying.
Adenisol B12 is more for mitochondrial function.
Methyl B12 is once you see someone does well with adenisol b12.
Hydroxy B12 works on improving nitric oxide levels which is important for cardiovascular function.
P-ADMA for nitric oxide status as to hydroxy b12.
Detox PectaSol-C 5-10 grams a day for mercury with selenium and life extension r-lipoic acid.
Mycotoxin Testing
ERMI test
Herx Me 2 Test
Real Time Labs urine myocotoxin test but do a glutathione test about 30-45 min before this test as it will show whether or not you are burdened by myocotoxins. Consider improving bile flow.

Testing for B Vitamin Status in Humans:
- Measure B1 (thiamin) levels via Erythrocyte Transketolase Activity (ETKA) and Leukocyte functional assays (Spectracell labs)
- Measure B2 (riboflavin) levels via Erythrocyte Glutathione Reductase Activity (EGRA), Leukocyte functional assays (Spectracell labs) and Whole blood levels
- Measure B3 (niacin) levels via tissue NAD for biological measure of niacin status in humans
- Measure B5 levels via lymphocyte proliferation. This test was designed by the University of Texas in which spanned 17 years and the test that came out of that measures the average of B5 levels over 6 months at a time. This is better than serum level measurements.
- Measure Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Measure B9 (folic acid) levels via RBC folate, serum folate assays and Leukocyte functional assays
- Measure B12 (methylcolbalamin) levels via
B Vitamin Research of Interest:
- Activation of the receptor (Gpr109a) for niacin and the commensal metabolite butyrate suppresses colonic inflammation and carcinogenesis (Crohn's, inflammatory bowel disease)
- Thiamine and Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a report of three cases (vitamin b1 reduces fatigue brought on from thyroid dysfunction in three case studies)
- Thiamine and fatigue in inflammatory bowel diseases: an open-label pilot study (vitamin b1 reduces fatigue entirely in Crohn's study)
- High dose thiamine improves fatigue in multiple sclerosis (vitamin b1 reduces fatigue in MS patient)
- High-dose thiamine improves fatigue after stroke: a report of three cases (vitamin b1 reduces fatigue in patient with stroke)
- High-dose thiamine improves the symptoms of fibromyalgia (vitamin b1 reduces fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia)
- Thiamine deficiency induces oxidative stress and exacerbates the plaque pathology in Alzheimer's mouse model (vitamin b1's role in Alzheimer's)
Let's Start With Understanding B Vitamins

Cautions. It’s wise to keep a few points in mind when it comes to the use of straight niacin. Niacin may irritate the stomach lining if taken on an empty stomach, so always take it after a meal. If you have problems with gout, be aware that niacin competes with the excretion of uric acid. Thus, large dosages could precipitate a gout attack. The time-released form of niacin has been shown to be responsible for severe liver damage. In general, avoid using the time-released forms of vitamins altogether. I haven’t found any that work well.
Optimal oral hygiene habits. Here are 7 tips that can help keep your pearly whites healthy and the microbiome in your mouth balanced so you can sleep better and prevent greater systemic infections and heart disease.
- Jarrow Formulas Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12) (one of my favorte)
- Coq10 (here's our go-to in conjunction with PPQ, this can really turn your brain on all the while protecting your oral health)
- Oral Probiotics (click each number > to see each probiotic, these all have proven strains to lower the incidence of dental caries 1, 2, 3)
- Significantly decreased salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans (P<0.05), which should result in decreased risk of caries [Caglar et al, 2008a] ~ Found in Standard Process ProSynbiotic
- Children were given a probiotic ice cream containing Bb-12 and La-5 (1 × 10^6 CFU/day per strain, n=30) or placebo ice cream (n=30) for 7 days. The probiotic arm, when compared to the placebo arm, had significant reductions in salivary Streptococcus mutans counts after the 7-day intervention and 30-day washout period (p<0.001), but not after the 6-month washout period (p=0.584). [Ashwin et al, 2015] ~ Found in Standard Process ProSynbiotic
- Ingestion of probiotic lozenge significantly decreased oral carriage of Streptococcus mutans (P<0.05), which should result in decreased risk of caries [Caglar et al, 2008b] ~ Found in BioGaia Probiotic Chewable Tablets
- 49% reduced risk of dental caries in children (P=0.004) [Nase et al, 2001] ~ Found in Culturelle
Quality Sleep Best Practices
Energy Tools: These tools are great for creating a better quality sleep in order to feel more alive each day!
- (this is for mouth taping which could change your life, I highly encourage you to scroll down to listen to the why behind this science)
- Squatty Potty (pooping ergonomics make all the difference in the world, so don't judge ^o^.)
- Epsoak Epsom Salt (take a bath even if just a foot bath each day you feel run-down, it'll initiate a relaxation-response and replenish some magnesium and sulfur reserves via transdermal delivery)
- IRIS Software (blue-light blocking software for free but I'd recommend paying the $10 for the awesome eye, neck and back exercises that auto-populate every 30 min or you can customize when using the computer to whatever length of time so you get cued to move, it's the best software for blocking out the melatonin-suppressing effects of blue light which negatively impact your circadian rhythms. Flux is also a good software but this is the best of the two. This is CRITICAL to mitigate your blue-light exposure to return to a healthier natural rhythm of melatonin production as blue-light interferes with melatonin production.)
Books: These are all great resources to learn more about how to deepen your connection, expression and expansiveness with your sleep habits.
- Niacin: The Real Story: Learn about the Wonderful Healing Properties of Niacin (the best book on niacin usage and it's incredible attributes for mental health issues, arthritis, fatigue, geographic tongue, etc.)
- Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Dr. Weston Price (the basis of nutritional intervention and its impact on dental health which thereby affects ones sleep and overall quality of life)
- Fix Your Fatigue: The four step process to resolving chronic fatigue, achieving abundant energy and reclaiming your life! (a great template by Medical Doctor Hirsch for how to approach herxheimer reactions (often very challenging and debilitating) as well as how to approach stealth infections, co-infections and what sequence to take in order to do so for effective treatment and recovery.
