Chronic Fatigue

Feeling exhausted all the time—even after a full night’s sleep? Chronic fatigue can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life. At Live Well Wellness Center, we take a holistic, integrative approach to uncover the root causes of your fatigue so you can feel like yourself again.

Common Symptoms That Accompany Chronic Fatigue
Fatigue is often more than just feeling tired. It can manifest in a variety of ways that affect both physical and mental wellbeing, including:

• Brain fog – Difficulty focusing, poor memory, slow processing, and mental fatigue

• Unrefreshing sleep – Waking up tired no matter how many hours you slept

• Muscle or joint pain – Aches, soreness, or stiffness not explained by injury

• Headaches or migraines – Often related to inflammation, stress, or toxin exposure

• Mood changes – Irritability, depression, anxiety, or feeling emotionally drained

• Dizziness or lightheadedness – Especially when standing up or after exertion

• Digestive issues – Bloating, constipation, nausea, or IBS-like symptoms

• Sensitivity to light, sound, or chemicals – Heightened sensory reactivity

• Exercise intolerance – Feeling worse after physical activity rather than energized

These symptoms can fluctuate or persist, and many people feel dismissed or misunderstood when seeking answers. You’re not alone—and there are solutions.

Common Causes of Chronic Fatigue

Fatigue is often multifactorial. Some of the most common contributors include:
Hormonal Imbalances
Thyroid dysfunction – Even subtle imbalances in thyroid hormones can lead to low energy, brain fog, and weight changes.
Adrenal dysfunction – Chronic stress can tax the adrenal glands, leading to cortisol imbalances and burnout.
Sex hormone imbalances – Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can impact mood, sleep, and energy levels.

Nutrient Deficiencies
Vitamin B12 – Essential for nerve health and red blood cell production.
Iron – Iron-deficiency anemia is a common and often overlooked cause of fatigue.
Vitamin D – Plays a role in immune health, inflammation, and energy.
Magnesium, folate, CoQ10, and others – These support mitochondrial health and energy production.

Chronic Infections
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) – Often reactivates under stress or illness, contributing to long-term fatigue.
Lyme disease and co-infections – Tick-borne illnesses can persist and impact multiple systems in the body.

Environmental Toxicants
Heavy metals – Mercury, lead, and others can disrupt mitochondrial function and nervous system balance.
Mycotoxins from mold – Mold exposure is a growing contributor to inflammation and fatigue, especially in the Southwest.

Mitochondrial and Sleep Health
Mitochondria are your body’s energy powerhouses. Inflammation, toxins, and nutrient deficiencies can impair their function.
Poor sleep quality, insomnia, and conditions like sleep apnea can leave you feeling unrested.

Our Holistic Approach to Fatigue
At Live Well, we don’t just treat symptoms—we look for the why. Our thorough intake process, detailed history, and individualized testing help us uncover the underlying contributors to your fatigue.

We may recommend:

• Comprehensive blood work to evaluate thyroid function, iron levels, B12, vitamin D, inflammatory markers, hormones, and more

• Advanced hormone testing (including adrenal saliva or urine panels)

• Infection panels to detect reactivated viruses or tick-borne infections

• Toxin screenings to assess for heavy metals, mold exposure, or environmental chemicals

• Mitochondrial markers and oxidative stress panels

• Lifestyle and nutrition evaluations to support total body wellness

By identifying the root causes, we can create a personalized treatment plan to support your energy, resilience, and overall vitality. Treatments may include clinical nutrition, targeted supplements, IV therapy, peptide therapy, hormone balancing, detoxification support, and lifestyle changes.
