I am exhausted! I feel like I am looking through a foggy glass every day. I often have insomnia, but even if I get some sleep, going through my day is a struggle. I wake up feeling like a drained battery that was supposed to charge but didn’t, and accomplishing daily tasks is nearly impossible with my lack of energy. My limbs feel heavy, my body feels heavy--dragging myself around is an extreme effort. I want to participate fully in my life, but this perpetual and extreme exhaustion is overwhelming. Why am I so tired all the time?
The challenge of fatigue
Fatigue and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are very real. You might look fine on the outside, but on the inside you fit the above description. And life is not fun when you are chronically feeling tired.
Not everyone experiences the same fatigue symptoms in the same way, so your individualized health plan should be just that—individualized. I will listen to you and perform a comprehensive evaluation, including diagnostic testing. I will look at all the body systems (digestion, detox, and neuroendocrine) to determine the root cause of the fatigue. This is the job of a functional medicine nutritionist. Once we have the problem isolated, I will provide diet and lifestyle recommendations as nutrition plays a key role in your body’s recovery. You can heal, and then you can start living your life mission, free of fatigue.
