About Fatigue & Chronic Energy Deficits

Do you feel like you’re running on empty? Fatigue is more than just being tired; it’s a persistent lack of energy that can impact every aspect of your life. At CIH, our personalized fatigue treatment offers solutions to help you regain energy and vitality. Did you know that up to 10% of Americans experience chronic fatigue—defined as ongoing fatigue lasting three months or more?

At its root, fatigue often stems from mitochondrial dysfunction. Your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, fuel vital processes like movement, digestion, and thinking. However, when the mitochondria don’t get the “ingredients” they need—nutrients, oxygen, or light energy—your body can’t keep up with the energy demands of life.

 

Common Symptoms:

Tiredness

Mood changes and low motivation

Muscle aches and intolerance to activity

Sleepiness and daytime drowsiness

Common Causes of Fatigue

Fatigue can result from various underlying conditions:

Sleep issues

Poor sleep hygiene, chronic insomnia due to stress or anxiety, sleep apnea

    Hormonal imbalances

    Low adrenal, thyroid, or sex hormones such as testosterone

    Nutritional deficiencies

    Low vitamin D, magnesium, or B12

    Chronic infections

    Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), post-COVID syndrome

    Environmental toxins

    Mold or mycotoxin exposure
