What dietary or behavioral changes, herbal remedies, or other natural medicine stuff do you use to help with fatigue and low energy levels?

This is no recommendation for anyone, just, as you asked, what do I do.

I cut sugar and bread right out, eat nettle soup, exercise more especially deep breathing exercises, take Olive Back Flower remedy.  If weather is not so good, increase vitamin D intake. I try to assess why I would feel that way: hormones, stress, grief, overwork, lack of sleep, worries and see if I can make changes.  Depending on the reason behind it, I might add another Bach remedy appropriately.   I also have an array of homeopathic remedies at my disposal.

It's a subject of controversy, but I've tried the supplement kratom with great success. One other person I've recommended it to thanked me for suggesting it to her. It will make you feel ten years younger.

I think it's harmless, but it's only controversial because it works. Anything that works is generally illegal. It works like coffee, but it doesn't give you the jitters.

I hope all you permies buy up seeds and put this stuff in your gardens upon reading this in case our government should think to invoke their all-powerful commerce clause and shut the plant down.

Years ago, I was feeling really tired all the time.  I went to my Dr. who ran tests and could not find anything wrong.

I found a book on zero carb. It changed my life and the way I still eat today.

I am happy to have a meal with only meat. I may eat only meat or I might have a lot of veggies and a piece of meat, usually chicken.

When I worked, I always took my lunch which was half a tuna sandwich with the amount of tuna for a whole sandwich, a huge salad, some cheese, and nuts.

I ate that way for so many years that I got where I could not even look at a salad.

The point I am trying to make is it is all about diet, no processed foods and cutting out sugar and starches.
