Quick Navigation What's Really Happening to Your Energy 7 Energy Protection Strategies Why SIPS Was Designed for This Real Talk: Setting Expectations Common Questions A Note From Our Founder How to Keep Living Your Life During Chemotherapy: Energy Strategies That Let You Show UpIt's Tuesday afternoon. Your daughter just texted asking if you can still come to her concert on Saturday. You want to say yes—you want to say yes—but you've been awake for six hours and you're already back in bed, bone-tired in a way sleep won't fix.Cancer interrupted your life. Chemotherapy is saving it. But right now, you're watching your days happen without you.If this feels familiar, you're not alone. Up to 96% of people receiving chemotherapy experience profound fatigue1,2—and it's not the kind of tired that a nap fixes. This is cellular exhaustion, where your body's power plants can't make enough energy to fuel even simple tasks. But here's what most oncologists won't tell you: You don't have to white-knuckle through this. There are proven, science-backed strategies—including targeted nutritional support—that can help you reclaim pieces of your energy and your life during treatment. Not every moment. Not every day. But enough to matter.Enough to show up for Saturday's concert.What's Really Happening Inside Your Body (And Why It Matters)Chemotherapy fatigue isn't like normal tiredness. Here's what's actually happening inside your body:You're fighting on multiple fronts: ❌ Damaged healthy cells: Chemo doesn't discriminate; it damages fast-growing cells everywhere—bone marrow, digestive tract, hair follicles ❌ Depleted red blood cells: Leading to anemia, which means less oxygen reaches your muscles and brain ❌ System-wide inflammation: Your immune system is in overdrive, creating inflammation that drains energy9 ❌ Nutritional depletion: Nausea keeps you from eating, which means you can't fuel energy production The result? Your mitochondria—the tiny power plants inside every cell—can't produce enough ATP (cellular energy).6 You're running on empty at a molecular level. 💡 This Isn't Weakness This isn't giving up. This is your body directing every ounce of available energy toward survival while treatment does its work. But that doesn't mean you can't be strategic about the energy you DO have. 7 Ways to Protect Your Energy for Moments That Matter1. Protect Your Energy for What You Actually Care AboutWhat this gives you back: The ability to be present for your daughter's concert, even if you can only stay for her solo.Complete bed rest seems logical when you're exhausted, but it often makes things worse. Your muscles decondition, circulation slows, and fatigue deepens.Instead, be strategic about where your energy goes: ✓ Decide what matters most: If Saturday's concert is important, protect Wednesday through Friday ✓ Break tasks into 15-minute chunks: Shower, then rest. Get dressed, then rest ✓ Save your best energy window for what counts: Usually mornings, before fatigue peaks This isn't about doing everything. It's about doing what matters.2. Hydrate Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)What this gives you back: Clear thinking and physical stamina to get through basic tasks.Dehydration compounds fatigue exponentially, but forcing down plain water when you're nauseous is torture.Smart hydration strategy: ✓ Sip throughout the day rather than forcing large amounts ✓ Add electrolytes to support cellular function ✓ Choose options that don't worsen nausea 💡 This is where Anti-Na SIPS changes the game. Most hydration solutions either help with nausea OR energy—never both. SIPS addresses the vicious cycle: you're nauseous so you can't drink → you get dehydrated → fatigue gets worse → nausea intensifies. By calming your stomach while hydrating and supporting energy production, SIPS breaks that cycle. 3. Eat for Energy (Even When Nothing Sounds Good)What this gives you back: Enough physical strength to not feel dizzy standing up.When you're nauseous, eating feels impossible. But skipping meals depletes energy further, creating a spiral you can't escape.What helps: ✓ Think in mini-meals: A handful of almonds is still fuel ✓ Protein is your friend: Greek yogurt, cheese stick, hard-boiled egg ✓ Avoid blood sugar crashes: No sugary snacks without protein to balance them If even thinking about food makes you queasy, that's where addressing nausea first becomes critical.4. Make Sleep Work for You (Not Against You)What this gives you back: Waking up feeling human instead of feeling like you never slept.Your sleep is probably disrupted—by medication schedules, night sweats, anxiety, pain. You can't force perfect sleep, but you can improve what you get.Try this: ✓ Cool, dark bedroom (warmer feels worse with chemo-related hot flashes) ✓ White noise for disturbances you can't control ✓ Allow one 20-30 minute afternoon rest (but not later, or night sleep suffers) ✓ Same wake/sleep times when possible, even if it feels pointless 5. Move Your Body (Just a Little)What this gives you back: The ability to walk from the car to the concert hall without needing to sit down halfway.Studies show cancer patients who do light exercise during treatment experience significantly less fatigue than those who rest completely.9Start micro-small: ✓ 5-minute walk around your house ✓ Gentle stretching in bed ✓ Standing and swaying to music ✓ Chair yoga The goal isn't fitness. It's circulation—delivering oxygen and nutrients to exhausted cells.6. Give Your Body the Building Blocks It's MissingWhat this gives you back: Enough energy to cook dinner, or at least be in the kitchen while someone else cooks.Here's where the science gets interesting. Certain compounds directly support your body's ability to produce energy at the most fundamental level.Bioenergy Ribose is a naturally occurring molecule your body uses to make ATP—your energy currency.6,7,8 Research shows ribose supplementation helps restore energy levels, especially after stress or illness.This is why Anti-Na SIPS includes Bioenergy Ribose® alongside therapeutic ginger.7. Stop the Nausea-Fatigue SpiralWhat this gives you back: The ability to stay at the dinner table long enough to hear about your son's day.Here's the cycle that's stealing your days: ❌ The Vicious Cycle Chemo causes nausea → You can't eat → Blood sugar drops → Fatigue intensifies → You're too exhausted to address the nausea → Repeat Breaking this cycle is everything. And this is where having a solution that addresses BOTH becomes essential.Why SIPS Was Designed for Days Like ThisMost ginger products help with nausea. Most energy supplements help with fatigue. SIPS does both—because we understand you're fighting both at once. ✓ What Makes SIPS Different: 2 grams of standardized D-SOLV® ginger extract (3% gingerols): Clinical dose proven to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea3,4,5 Bioenergy Ribose®: Supports cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level6,7,8 Gentle on sensitive stomachs: Lemon-honey flavor designed for people who can't tolerate sweetness Hydration support: Gets fluids into you when everything else sounds terrible Portable & discreet: Mix with water anywhere—treatment center, work, car Unlike ginger ale (which contains zero real ginger and loads of sugar) or generic energy drinks (which can worsen nausea), SIPS was specifically designed for cancer patients dealing with the dual burden of nausea and fatigue.What SIPS Feels LikeThat first sip when your stomach finally settles. The gentle lemon-honey taste that doesn't trigger your gag reflex. The relief of actually being able to drink a full glass of water without feeling sick. And then, over the next few days, noticing you're not quite as wiped out by 2 PM.Small wins that add up to being present.When SIPS Helps Most: Morning: Mix a packet 30 minutes before breakfast to combat morning nausea and build your energy foundation Pre-treatment: Take SIPS 30-60 minutes before your chemo session to prevent nausea before it starts The afternoon wall: When 2 PM hits and you need to push through until dinner Recovery days: When you're home trying to rebuild enough strength to be present "Within three days of using SIPS, I had enough energy to make it to my son's baseball game. I stayed for the whole thing—first time in two months. The nausea settled within 20 minutes of my first sip, but the real gift was getting my life back in small pieces." — Sarah M., breast cancer survivor Real Talk: This Won't Make Chemo EasyLet's be honest—nothing makes chemotherapy easy. SIPS isn't a miracle cure, and these strategies won't eliminate fatigue completely.But here's what they CAN do: ✓ Give you enough energy to be at that concert, even if you leave after 45 minutes ✓ Help you stay at the dinner table long enough to feel like part of the family again ✓ Reduce your worst days from "can't leave bed" to "managed to shower" ✓ Support your body's natural ability to produce energy when it's under siege Some days, "Life, Uninterrupted" means making it to the couch instead of staying in bed. That's still living. That counts. 💪 You're Not Being Weak You're not giving up. You're being strategic about energy so you can keep showing up for the people and moments that matter.

We designed it with safety in mind, but your medical team knows your specific situation best.Q: How quickly does SIPS work?A: Most people notice nausea relief within 15-30 minutes. Energy support builds more gradually with consistent use—think days, not hours. But many customers report feeling noticeably better within the first week.Q: What if I can't keep anything down?A: Start with small sips. SIPS is designed to be gentle on sensitive stomachs, but listen to your body. If you're vomiting everything, that's when to call your oncology team—you may need stronger anti-nausea medication alongside supportive strategies.Q: I don't want to just survive treatment, I want to LIVE. Can this help?A: That's exactly why we created it. SIPS doesn't just manage symptoms—it helps you reclaim enough energy to be PRESENT. Not for everything. Not every day. But for what matters most. That concert. That dinner. That morning coffee that finally tastes good again.A Note From Our Founder Summer 2018, halfway up Mt. Whitney, altitude sickness stopped me cold—crushing nausea, nothing worked. That moment connected with something deeper: watching a family friend Toni go to chemo Tuesday and force herself to work Wednesday—standing on her feet cutting hair while pale and shaking—because as a self-employed hairstylist, missing work meant no rent money. The medications her oncologist prescribed cost hundreds and caused migraines so severe she chose nausea instead. When I learned cancer survivors experience nausea for up to ten years post-treatment, I knew this wasn't a short-term problem. This was a quality-of-life crisis. When I delivered the pilot batch to Toni, she texted: "I made it through my entire work day on my feet without leaving early. First time in three months." That became five years of R&D—finding pharmaceutical-grade manufacturers, sourcing clinical-dose ingredients, reformulating into SIPS. Today, Anti-Na honors that promise: no one should choose between their health and living fully. Not Toni working the day after chemo. Not you standing in that hospital pharmacy wondering which "ginger" actually contains real ginger. Life, Uninterrupted means having the right tools to keep showing up when it matters most. — Kristen D., Founder of Anti-Na References Chemotherapy Fatigue Statistics: Annals of Oncology: Fatigue in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (82-96% prevalence) PMC: Prevalence and Impact of Fatigue on Quality of Life Ginger for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea: University of Rochester URCC CCOP Study (576 patients) Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics - Standardized ginger extract study Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine - Antiemetic mechanisms of gingerols D-Ribose for Cellular Energy: PMC: Understanding D-Ribose and Mitochondrial Function Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition: D-ribose and ATP recovery Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Pilot Study Additional Supporting Research: National Cancer Institute - Cancer-Related Fatigue: cancer.gov (official NCI resource) Scientific Reports - CRF Prevalence Meta-Analysis Medical Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.
