Fatigue

At Wisdom, our practitioners do a comprehensive evaluation to uncover the root cause of fatigue, as the culprits vary from person to person. We will consider medical history, advanced laboratory testing results, and lifestyle factors.

Some common underlying factors contributing to fatigue include:

✔ Sleep Disorders: 

Conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, or insufficient sleep can lead to chronic fatigue.

✔ Nutritional Deficiencies: 

Lack of essential nutrients can cause fatigue. This could be due to inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption issues, or certain medical conditions.

✔ Chronic Medical Conditions: 

Undiagnosed conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular disorders can all cause persistent fatigue but often go undetected in regular blood work.

✔ Hormonal Imbalances: 

Hormonal changes such as those seen in menopause, adrenal insufficiency, or disorders affecting the pituitary gland can lead to fatigue but without appropriate testing can be easily missed in a doctor's visit.

✔ Infections: 

Persistent infections such as viral illnesses (e.g., Epstein-Barr virus causing mononucleosis), bacterial infections, or parasitic infections can lead to prolonged fatigue.

✔ Environmental Factors: 

Exposure to toxins, pollutants, or allergens can sometimes contribute to fatigue symptoms. All of our Wisdom providers take both your internal and external factors as a primary concern during evaluation.

✔ Psychological Factors: 

Life is busy, we get it but chronic stress, burnout, or a history of trauma can lead to persistent fatigue and they each can take time to work through with specialized support.
