Patient Case Study

“Emma,” 38 – Fatigue, Brain Fog & Fertility Concerns

Emma, a 38-year-old professional, came to Patients Medical with:

  • Chronic fatigue and brain fog

  • Weight gain despite dieting

  • Irregular periods and difficulty conceiving for 2 years

Her previous doctors told her, “Everything looks normal.”

At Patients Medical, we:

  • Ordered a detailed hormone panel (thyroid, sex hormones, adrenal), gut testing, and vitamin levels

  • Found suboptimal thyroid function, adrenal imbalance, intestinal permeability, and nutrient deficiencies

  • Designed a stepwise plan including:

    • A gut-healing protocol and anti-inflammatory nutrition plan

    • Specific supplements and lifestyle strategies

    • Thyroid and adrenal support

    • Fertility-focused counseling and close coordination with a fertility clinic

Within six months, her energy and mental clarity significantly improved, she lost weight gradually, and her cycles normalized. She later proceeded with an IVF cycle with improved egg quality markers and is now exploring embryo transfer options with Surrogacy4All.
