Synopsis of Fatigue

Fatigue is a persistent feeling of tiredness, weakness, or lack of energy that is not relieved by rest. It may be physical, mental, or both, and can be acute (short-term, often due to overexertion or sleep deprivation) or chronic, lasting weeks or longer and affecting daily function. Fatigue is a symptom—not a diagnosis—and may stem from lifestyle factors, nutritional imbalances, chronic diseases, or mental health conditions.

Common causes of fatigue include:

Sleep disturbances (insomnia, apnea)
Nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, magnesium, vitamin D)
Poor diet or dehydration
Stress, anxiety, or depression
Thyroid disorders
Infections (e.g., EBV, COVID-19, Lyme disease)
Blood sugar imbalance
Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
Medications or caffeine withdrawal

Fatigue may also result from adrenal burnout, mitochondrial dysfunction, or immune overload. It can impact concentration, motivation, memory, and productivity—and often accompanies other conditions like fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, or long COVID.

When to see a doctor:
Seek medical attention if fatigue is sudden, unexplained, persistent beyond two weeks, or accompanied by other symptoms like weight loss, shortness of breath, depression, or muscle weakness.

Natural remedies for Fatigue

Prioritize Restorative Sleep: Establish consistent sleep and wake times; avoid screens and stimulants at night.

Hydrate and Eat Nutrient-Dense Meals: Focus on proteins, healthy fats, leafy greens, and complex carbs.

Gentle Movement: Even short walks or stretching can improve circulation and energy.

Reduce Stress: Practice mindfulness, breathing exercises, or journaling to lighten emotional load.

Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods: These lead to energy crashes and worsen fatigue.
