How Nutrient Deficiencies Can Affect Mood, Energy, and Sleep

How Nutrient Deficiencies Can Affect Mood, Energy, and Sleep

 

Struggling with fatigue, brain fog, low mood, or poor sleep? These symptoms are often brushed off as “just stress” or “burnout”—but they can be powerful signals of nutritional deficiencies.

Deficiencies in key nutrients affect neurotransmitter balance, mitochondrial function, and circadian rhythm. The good news? You can test and correct them—starting from home.


🧠 Mood: More Than Just Mental

Your mood is shaped by brain chemistry, inflammation, and nutritional inputs. Key deficiencies linked to low mood and anxiety include:

🧬 Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)

  • EPA supports serotonin release and reduces inflammation

  • DHA is a structural fat in brain membranes

🔗 Omega-3 Index Test

🔬 Clinical trials show Omega-3 supplementation, especially EPA-dominant formulas, improves depressive symptoms—especially in those with low baseline levels.

🌞 Vitamin D

  • Helps regulate serotonin and dopamine

  • Low levels are linked to higher risk of depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

🔗 Vitamin D Test


⚡ Energy: Beyond Caffeine

Energy isn’t just about sleep—it’s about cellular power production. Common culprits behind fatigue include:

⚙️ CoQ10

  • Crucial for mitochondrial ATP production

  • Deficiency can lead to poor stamina, muscle fatigue, and sluggish recovery

🔗 CoQ10 Test

🧪 Glutathione

  • Protects mitochondria from oxidative stress

  • Low levels can impair detox and energy output

🔗 Glutathione Index Test


😴 Sleep: Rest Starts With Regulation

Sleep depends on neurotransmitter balance, blood sugar stability, and inflammation control.

🧠 Amino Acids

  • Tryptophan and glycine are precursors to serotonin and melatonin

  • Imbalances can disrupt sleep onset and REM cycles

🔗 Amino Acids Test

🔢 HbA1c (Blood Sugar Control)

  • Poor glucose control leads to night-time awakenings and cortisol spikes

🔗 HbA1c Test

🔬 A 2022 study in Nutrients found that nutrient deficiencies were a key predictor of poor sleep quality in adults, independent of stress and sleep hygiene.


🧪 Why Test Instead of Guess?

You can’t feel a deficiency until it causes symptoms—and even then, it’s hard to know which nutrient is the problem.

✅ Our range of at-home test kits helps you pinpoint exactly what’s missing so you can take targeted action.


🙋♂️ FAQs

Q: What deficiencies most commonly affect sleep and mood?
A: Omega-3s, vitamin D, B vitamins, and amino acids are key for mood and sleep regulation.

Q: Can testing help me figure out why I’m tired all the time?
A: Yes. Our CoQ10, HbA1c, and Glutathione tests are great starting points for fatigue.

Q: Should I test Omega-3 if I don’t eat fish?
A: Definitely. Low Omega-3 Index is common in plant-based diets and is linked to mood issues and inflammation.
