Chronic fatigue is more than just being tired. It is a debilitating condition that affects millions of Americans—disrupting work, relationships, and quality of life. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative, root-cause approach to chronic fatigue that goes far beyond conventional care.
Our functional medicine experts work to identify the underlying imbalances contributing to fatigue—so we can treat the whole person, not just the exhaustion.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME/CFS) is a complex, long-term illness characterized by profound tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest and worsens with physical or mental activity.
Core Symptoms May Include:
Fatigue is not a diagnosis—it’s a symptom of something deeper. We use functional medicine to uncover the “why” behind your low energy.
At Patients Medical, we use cutting-edge diagnostic tools to understand what’s driving your chronic fatigue.
✅ Adrenal saliva hormone panels (cortisol, DHEA)
✅ Comprehensive thyroid testing (Free T3, T4, Reverse T3, antibodies)
✅ Mitochondrial markers and organic acid testing
✅ Epstein-Barr Virus, Lyme, and co-infections panel
✅ Nutrient & mineral testing (iron, B12, CoQ10, magnesium, etc.)
✅ GI stool analysis for microbiome and inflammation
✅ Mold and mycotoxin testing
✅ Heavy metal toxicity testing

David, a 39-year-old professional, came to us after suffering from extreme fatigue, brain fog, and insomnia for over a year. His regular blood tests showed “nothing wrong,” but he felt like a shell of his former self.
Our testing revealed low cortisol, Epstein-Barr reactivation, nutrient depletion, and gut dysbiosis.
We designed a 90-day integrative protocol that included:
Within 3 months, David’s energy returned, his sleep normalized, and he was back to full productivity.
While there’s no “one cure,” many patients see full or significant recovery with a personalized, root-cause approach.
Chronic fatigue persists for more than 6 months, is not relieved by rest, and often includes additional symptoms like brain fog and body pain.
Yes. We frequently work with patients dealing with EBV, Lyme, or long COVID-related fatigue.
Absolutely. Cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone imbalances are major contributors to fatigue.
We are out-of-network but provide superbills. Some lab tests may be reimbursable.
