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

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
