Chronic pain, low mood and low energy are three things that often go hand in hand. Although these conditions are often not well supported with traditional medicine, they can be unravelled and addressed if you have the patience and commitment to do so. 

The common thread that links all three is energy. Or, more specifically, ATP production. Impaired mitochondria increase oxidative stress leading to neuroinflammation and the inability to synthesise neurotransmitters. An inflamed and unhealthy brain can be more sensitive to the perception of pain and struggle to dampen pain signals.
