Fatigue is more than just feeling tired. It’s a constant drain of energy that affects your ability to function and enjoy life. Whether it’s caused by stress, underlying health conditions, or poor lifestyle habits, fatigue can significantly impact your physical and mental health. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that true recovery requires a deeper understanding of your body’s needs.
Our integrative approach combines conventional medicine with holistic and functional therapies to identify and treat the root causes of fatigue. We don’t just mask the symptoms – we help you restore your energy, balance, and vitality.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Fatigue is defined as an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, or a general feeling of weakness that persists even after rest or sleep. Unlike normal tiredness, fatigue can be chronic and interfere with daily life. It can have many causes, including:
Fatigue is often a sign that the body’s systems are out of balance. Addressing it requires a comprehensive, personalized approach that looks at both physical and emotional factors.
The most common symptoms of vertigo include:
Functional medicine looks at the root causes of fatigue rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Here are some common factors that may be contributing to your fatigue:
Our goal is to address these underlying factors and restore balance to your body, so you can regain your energy and vitality.
To understand the causes of your vertigo, we employ a combination of diagnostic tests:
Sarah, a 45-year-old woman, came to us feeling drained and unable to get through the day despite sleeping 8 hours a night. She had been diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction and chronic stress but still felt exhausted even after medication.
After a comprehensive evaluation, we discovered that Sarah was also deficient in vitamin D and magnesium, and her adrenal glands were underperforming due to chronic stress. We designed a 3-month integrative plan that included:
Three months later, Sarah reported feeling much more energized, less stressed, and able to enjoy her daily activities without feeling drained.
Fatigue can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, and underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or thyroid dysfunction.
Yes, fatigue can often be effectively treated with natural therapies such as diet changes, herbal supplements, stress management, proper sleep hygiene, and lifestyle adjustments.
If fatigue persists despite rest and affects your daily life, it’s important to seek medical attention. Common medical conditions like thyroid dysfunction, anemia, and chronic stress can contribute to persistent fatigue.
Absolutely. Regular exercise, improved sleep habits, balanced nutrition, and stress reduction can all play a significant role in restoring energy levels and combating fatigue.
The recovery time depends on the underlying cause. Some people see improvements within a few weeks of treatment, while others may need a few months, especially if fatigue is linked to chronic conditions.
Foods rich in B vitamins, iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, such as leafy greens, lean meats, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, are excellent for boosting energy levels.
Yes, prolonged stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which can disrupt sleep, drain energy reserves, and lead to chronic fatigue. Managing stress through relaxation techniques and stress-reduction therapies can help.
Vestibular rehabilitation exercises can help retrain your brain and improve balance, reducing dizziness and vertigo episodes.
Supplements like magnesium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and iron can help restore energy if deficiencies are contributing to your fatigue. However, it’s essential to work with a healthcare provider to ensure you’re taking the right supplements based on your needs.
Yes, it’s possible. Even with adequate sleep, factors like stress, poor sleep quality (e.g., sleep apnea), nutrient deficiencies, or underlying health conditions can lead to fatigue.
