Wissenswertes über "Lack of drive"
Listlessness describes a state of reduced physical and mental energy in which even everyday tasks are perceived as overwhelming or stressful.
Affected people often suffer from fatigue, concentration problems, listlessness or lack motivation. This condition can occur temporarily - due to lack of sleep or stress, for example - or be an indication of deeper physical or mental imbalances.
Frequent physical causes are iron deficiency, thyroid hypofunction, vitamin D deficiency, chronic inflammation, adrenal insufficiency or low blood pressure. An impaired blood sugar level, hormonal imbalances or mitochondrial dysfunctions can also play a role. Mental-psychological listlessness can be associated with burnout, depression, overwork, social isolation or unresolved conflicts. Not infrequently, there is also a connection to hidden intestinal diseases, still inflammationor a dysfunctional microbiome.
For natural support, a balanced diet rich in vital substances, regular exercise, daylight-orientated sleep routines and the targeted use of adaptogens such as Rhodiola, ginseng or Ashwagandha. Micronutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, coenzyme Q10 or iron help to restore the energy balance. In certain cases, lactoferrincan also play a role - for example in cases of latent iron deficiency without anaemia. It is important to take a holistic view of the causes in order to find a targeted and sustainable solution.
