Wednesday, July 24, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 13 Nutrition expert offers free discussion on boosting energy By T. Lee Brown Correspondent What are the top rea- sons that people seek out natural health practitioners? According to Kim Hapke, ND, one big motivator is energy level. People want to feel more energetic. A naturo- path based in Sisters, Hapke invites the public to join in a free, informative discus- sion on the subject, July 28 at Sisters Farmers Market. When people say they are fatigued or have low energy, <They are basically saying, I don9t feel as good as I used to. I don9t have the capacity to do what I used to do, or I feel bad after I do this activity,= Hapke told The Nugget. <It9s differ- ent for everybody.= What seems like <low energy= can be based on low mood or depression4or it can come from not getting enough iron or vitamin B-12. Many other factors play into the sensation of being tired and not feeling good. <I9m look- ing at people9s diets, recent stressors, what people have gone through over the years,= Hapke explained. Hapke9s discussion will cover several energy-making processes in the body, fac- tors involved in low energy, and lifestyle and nutritional LIVE MUSIC! support for the different energy pathways in the body. Hapke sees many patients who want to address their energy levels. Time-of-life changes for women, stress- ful life events for people of any gender, and everyday fatigue are common in her private practice, Meaningful Medicine. <We can address that through nutrition, herbal sup- port, and sleep,= she said. In her talk, Hapke plans to focus on <energy sappers.= Nutritional deficiencies are common; so are food sen- sitivities. <Fatigue can be a common symptom that a particular food isn9t working very well for your body,= she said. Adrenal, mitochondrial, and neurological fatigue are frequently addressed in her practice. Hapke sees many patients who are looking for new options. <People are coming in saying, 8I would like to avoid going on medication for my rising blood sugar,9 or it9s their blood pressure, mood, energy, sleep,= she said. In Central Oregon, said Hapke, <a lot of people are here for a healthy, out- door lifestyle, so if they can address something naturally, they want to. I9m getting peo- ple who are pretty savvy.= She has noticed an emer- gence of metabolic-related issues like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), blood sugar levels, and <anything related to the rise in Type 2 Diabetes.= Men9s and women9s fertility issues are increasing in her practice and nationally. <I9ll see mothers who are at year three, their babies are sleeping4they9ve come through a long period of sleep deprivation and adrenal fatigue,= she said. Gluten is another rising factor. <People are curious to know how gluten might be affecting them,= Hapke said. <Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is getting better researched, there9s more things to learn about it, and patients are inter- ested in how that9s affecting their health.= Hapke delves into new research. She is excited about the new understanding of con- ditions like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia A Tribute to FLEETWOOD MAC JUL 24 WED Food Cart Garden at Eurosports Trivia Night 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sign up by 6:15 p.m. For additional information call Eurosports at 541-549-2471.
