Why You’re Tired All the Time and what your labs might be missing

root causes of fatigue and why conventional labs miss it

You’ve had your labs done. Your doctor says everything looks “normal.” And yet you're dragging through the day, your brain feels foggy, and no amount of sleep seems to help. Sound familiar? Chronic fatigue isn’t just in your head.

As a functional medicine practitioner offering telehealth care nationwide, I help clients uncover the real, root causes of fatigue. These can include:

Top Root Causes of Fatigue:

• Adrenal dysregulation ("burnout") and hormonal imbalance (thyroid, estrogen/progesterone, testosterone)

• Mitochondrial dysfunction

• Poor blood sugar regulation

• Low-grade inflammation or stealth infections

• Unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation

Why Conventional Labs Miss It: Most conventional tests look for disease, not dysfunction. That means you can feel awful even if your labs are “normal.” Functional medicine looks deeper and asks: What systems are under strain?

How I Help Clients Reset Their Energy:

• Functional lab testing (cortisol, insulin, thyroid, nutrient panels)

• Mitochondrial and adrenal repair protocols

• Blood sugar balancing meals + rhythms

• Nervous system tools for restoring safety and energy

Fatigue is not a flaw or failure. It’s feedback. When we listen to your body with curiosity and clinical precision, everything changes. Energy returns. Clarity follows. And healing begins.

If you're ready for answers that go deeper than “normal labs,” I’d be honored to walk with you.
