Chronic fatigue is one of the most common complaints among patients, affecting millions globally. While many people attribute fatigue to stress or a lack of sleep, the root causes are often more complex, involving hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and even autoimmune conditions. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative approach to address the root causes of fatigue, rather than just masking symptoms. By combining conventional medicine with functional and holistic therapies, we help patients restore their energy levels and overall health.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Fatigue is a feeling of extreme tiredness or lack of energy that doesn’t go away with rest. It can be either acute (temporary) or chronic (lasting for six months or more) and can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Chronic fatigue can result from a variety of factors, including underlying medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and emotional stress.

Sarah, 41, came to us with persistent fatigue that had been affecting her ability to work and enjoy life. She was waking up tired, despite sleeping 8 hours each night. After testing, we found a combination of low thyroid function, vitamin D deficiency, and elevated cortisol levels from stress.

Many patients begin to feel more energized within 4-6 weeks. However, the timeline varies based on the individual’s health status and the root causes of fatigue.

While we are an out-of-network provider, we provide superbills that may be used for reimbursement. Some lab tests may also be partially covered by insurance.
Yes, chronic stress can significantly contribute to fatigue by disrupting sleep patterns, increasing cortisol levels, and impairing the body’s ability to recover. Stress management through therapies like meditation, yoga, and acupuncture is essential in restoring energy.
No, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by extreme, persistent fatigue that is not relieved by rest. It often involves other symptoms, such as cognitive difficulties, joint pain, and sleep disturbances. A thorough evaluation is necessary to diagnose and treat CFS.
Yes, hormonal imbalances—especially involving thyroid hormones, cortisol, and sex hormones—can contribute to feelings of extreme fatigue. Balancing these hormones through functional medicine can help restore energy levels.
Yes, supplements like B vitamins, magnesium, CoQ10, vitamin D, and Rhodiola rosea have been shown to support energy production and reduce fatigue. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to find the right supplementation for your needs.
