Everybody experiences fatigue from time to time and the most common reason is usually lack of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>With lifestyles becoming busier and more demanding, the number of people complaining of being persistently tired is increasing every year.\u00a0 1 in 10 people suffer from constant tiredness, with women more likely to be affected than men.<\/p>\n<h3>Ayse\u2019s Results Video<\/h3>\n<h3>Symptoms Of Tiredness:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Always feeling tired despite a full night\u2019s sleep<\/li>\n<li>Feeling irritable<\/li>\n<li>Feeling physically drained and constantly tired<\/li>\n<li>Being unable to concentrate<\/li>\n<li>Taking a long time to complete simple tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/uploads\/testimonials\/carolyn-potter-ibs-review.jpeg\" alt=\"Carolyn Potter Fatigue review\" width=\"617\" height=\"328\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Mike\u2019s Results Video<\/h3>\n<p>If you find yourself asking \u201cwhy am I always tired?\u201d and feeling lethargic without an obvious cause you should visit your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions such as anemia, diabetes, sleep apnea and thyroid problems.<\/p>\n<p>If you are continuing to experience prolonged tiredness, it may be a good opportunity to take a closer look at your diet.<\/p>\n<p>As individuals, our reactions to foods and drinks we consume varies a great deal. An ingredient which may cause problems for one person could be completely acceptable for another. At yorktest, we like to refer to this as our personal \u2018food fingerprint\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>For those with fatigue, discovering and understanding your own personal food and drink intolerances, and the effects they have on your health and wellbeing is important to ensure you make the best possible choices to optimize your diet and quality of life. Identifying and eliminating these specific foods from your diet can be an important step forward to improve your energy levels.<\/p>\n<h3>The Results Speak For Themselves<\/h3>\n<p>The University of York conducted a survey* to help understand the benefits of elimination diets based on the results of a food intolerance test.<\/p>\n<p>Out of 436 who reported experiencing fatigue, 87% reported a boost to their energy levels having removed their \u2018trigger\u2019 foods. We define these as foods which show a positive IgG reaction to antibodies in the blood.<\/p>\n<p>Overall in the study, 76% of people who rigorously followed the recommended diet reported a benefit, 68% of which experienced this after 3 weeks.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Main Condition Reported<\/td>\n<td>% of people who reported a benefit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Low Energy<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Fatigue, Lethargy<\/td>\n<td>87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Gastrointestinal<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. IBS, Bloating etc<\/td>\n<td>80%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Respiratory<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis<\/td>\n<td>72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Neurological<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Migraine, Headaches, ME<\/td>\n<td>78%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Dermatological<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Eczema, Acne, Psoriasis<\/td>\n<td>76%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Musculoskeletal<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Arthritis, Joint Aches &amp; Pains<\/td>\n<td>64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Psychological<\/strong><br \/>\ne.g. Depression, Anxiety<\/td>\n<td>81%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Information provided above regarding Food Intolerance (defined by yorktest as a food specific IgG reaction) is intended to provide nutritional advice for dietary optimization. yorktest do not claim to treat or cure the aforementioned symptoms and recommend that you discuss any medical concerns you have with a doctor before undertaking a yorktest program.<\/p>\n<p>*Survey carried out with a total of 5286 people who had taken the yorktest &amp;ndasndash; or to give it its scientific name \u2013 a food-specific IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) blood test.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/uploads\/pdfs\/5000_survey_hardman_and_hart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View The Full Report Here<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Request A Callback<\/h4>\n<p>One of our customer care representatives would love to help you understand more about our tests and aftercare support<\/p>\n<p>or call us on<br \/>\n+44(0)1904 410 410<\/p>\n<h4>What Our Customers Say<\/h4>\n<p>Many of our customers are thrilled by the service that we deliver and are happy to tell us.
