Chronic Fatigue
Persistent fatigue often has multiple drivers. We evaluate mitochondrial function, nutrient status, adrenal and thyroid health, infections, and toxin burden.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Unrelenting tiredness, post-exertional malaise, unrefreshing sleep, and reduced exercise tolerance.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Mitochondrial dysfunction, iron/B12/D/magnesium deficiency, thyroid and adrenal imbalances, chronic infections, and mold exposure.
Functional Evaluation
Organic acids testing, comprehensive metabolic and thyroid panels, micronutrient analysis, and cortisol mapping.
Treatment Approach
Targeted supplementation (CoQ10, B vitamins, magnesium), hormone optimization, sleep hygiene, and addressing infections or toxin exposures.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for sudden-onset severe fatigue with chest pain, shortness of breath, or confusion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chronic fatigue the same as CFS/ME?
Not always. Chronic fatigue is a symptom with many causes. CFS/ME is a specific diagnosis with additional criteria including post-exertional malaise.
Can nutrient deficiencies cause severe fatigue?
Yes. Iron, B12, vitamin D, and magnesium deficiencies are common and treatable causes.
How do you test mitochondrial function?
Organic acids testing provides markers of mitochondrial energy production and can reveal functional blocks.
