FATIGUE is one of the most frequent complaints I hear in my office.
This includes mental, emotional, physical and immune fatigue.
Buzz words - insomnia, wired, mental fog, frustration, depression, inertia, malaise,quick to anger, tired, frequent colds, slow recovery…
The causes vary but there is help!
Causes we need to consider:
Sleep Quality
Stress/Anxiety/ Parasympathetic to Sympathetic nervous system deregulation.
Adrenal and Hormonal imbalance
Post Viral Recovery, (including but not limited to COVID19)
Inability to physically recover from injury
Emotional Disturbances
Anemia
Exercise
Hydration
This Is a partial but inclusive list of causative factors. Many causes morph into one another and systemically overlap.
Do not settle for Fatigue as your new norm.
We need to be stealth fatigue detectives to suss out what is the primary cause, secondary factors and how to correct and avoid this cycle of imbalance.
The last few years have challenged me to hone my skills around figuring out what and how to treat.

The Beauty of most of the “helpers” is they enhance one another.
They also have numerous other benefits: reduce inflammation, blood pressure, cholesterol, regulate blood glucose and some are antiviral and hepatoprotective!
Once we define the primary cause of fatigue then we can then formulate a plan.
