10 Tips for Optimising Energy & Improving Mood with IBD:

1. Manage your IBD: Monitor & keep inflammation under control. Get calprotectin tested & discuss with your team if unsure.

2. Treat anaemia: Check haemoglobin levels & address any deficiencies.

3. Check vitamins/minerals: Get B12, folate, ferritin & vitamin D levels checked yearly & treat if low.

4. Revise your diet: Consider a Mediterranean-style diet if tolerated. Limit sugar & processed foods.

5. Optimise sleep: Get adequate, quality sleep to regulate energy & mood.

6. Exercise in daylight: If possible, get some daylight exercise to boost energy & mood.

7. Screen for anxiety/depression: If feeling low, get screened.

8. Adjust caffeine: Wait 60 mins after waking for first caffeine to avoid afternoon crashes; avoid in the afternoon to prevent insomnia.

9. Try non-sleep deep rest: Incorporate yoga nidra, meditation etc to re-energise.

10. Practice self-care: Prioritise taking care of yourself. Making routine changes can greatly improve energy & mood.
