This be levels training titled "Clinical approach to post-vacation fatigue" is aimed exclusively at the be levels professional community and explains integrated strategies for habits and supplementation to reverse fatigue and stress in patients. The speakers are Adría Martí (Partnership Manager at be levels) and Dr. Antonio Hernández (Medical Director and Co-Founder of be levels). Key moments Typical clinical post-vacation context [02:00]: Discusses the increase in cases of exhaustion, chronic fatigue, stress, and anxiety that patients often experience when returning from vacation. Symptoms [03:34]: Lists common symptoms, including: Slight alteration in body composition (loss of muscle mass, increase in abdominal fat). Loss of peripheral insulin sensitivity. Lipotoxicity and adipocyte inflammation. Increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. Neuroinflammation, lack of concentration, emotional frustration. Muscle and joint pain. Lack of enthusiasm. Habit modification [11:36]: Explains that these symptoms are caused by: Disorganized meal times and biorhythm deregulation. Large meals rich in ultra-processed foods and high-glycemic starches. Consumption of alcohol and toxins. Dopaminergic hyperactivity (constantly seeking pleasurable stimuli). Lack of rest and poor sleep quality. Clinical consequences [18:19]: Details repercussions such as: Exhaustion and fatigue. Difficulty exercising and recovering. Muscle and joint pain. Decreased libido. Gastrointestinal bloating. Neuroinflammation and difficulty concentrating. Lack of adherence to nutritional and exercise tools. Lack of enthusiasm. Important parameters to monitor [22:12]: Recommends monitoring: Glycemic metabolism (glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin). Lipid profile (LDL cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides). Blood pressure, transaminases. Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, and reverse T3). Cortisol (DHEA-sulfate). Ultrasensitive CRP. Ferritin. Inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-alpha, creatine kinase). Clinical tools [26:06]: Suggests strategies such as: Low-carb or ketogenic nutrition for the first few weeks. Minimizing consumption of high-glycemic index carbohydrates, prioritizing pseudo-cereals, legumes, and tubers. Prioritizing unsaturated fats. Improving biorhythms, aiming for 13-14 hour fasting and eating dinner 2 hours before bed to elevate melatonin. Minimum physical activity (walking). Efficient hydration and mineralization. Ensuring efficient hours of sleep. Adjuvant supplementation [34:25]: Mentions supplements such as: Wake up mood (to improve insulin sensitivity, sympathetic nervous system tone, dopamine, and thyroid profile). Creatine (for neurocognitive and muscle function). Amino acids (to recover and build muscle mass). Berberine (to improve insulin sensitivity). Triple magnesium & Chill mood (for sleep and neuroinflammation). Be calm (for adaptation to physical and emotional stress).
