Chronic Fatigue

Are you feeling so fatigued that even light movement or trying to get through your day can be a chore?

Perhaps you are feeling extremely stressed or anxious because you can't perform well at work and aren't able to support your family like you used to?

Do you experience "mystery aches and pains" that are slowing you down... which your doctor explains away as "old age"?

Or perhaps you've been to your doctor only to be hit with a "chronic fatigue" diagnosis and no clue what to do next. The truth is, chronic fatigue is oftentimes a blanket diagnosis when doctors don't have the tools or know-how to get to the bottom of your health concerns, which are typically multiple-factorial in nature. While they may do a physical exam or basic bloodwork, both can miss more serious health imbalances to blame for your total lack of energy.

The conventional approach to treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is focused on the emotional and mindset spectrum of treatment, all while the physiological root causes go undetected. 

Oftentimes, doctors will prescribe antidepressants when they don't see anything obvious in your blood work and can't give you convincing explanations about the root cause of your symptoms.

Sadly, the label of chronic fatigue is given while something more serious could be spiralling out of control  and is now impacting hormonal balance, brain health, and even cellular health.

Some of the imbalances at play can include gut dysbiosis  such as SIBO, leaky gut, and/or candida overgrowth. 

A poor diet, stealth infections, an undiagnosed food allergy, hormone imbalances such as hypothyroidism, low testosterone, progesterone, oestrogen or DHEAs and exposure to environmental toxins like mould are all potential causes of chronic fatigue that go completely overlooked in the conventional treatment approach.

When it comes to chronic fatigue syndrome, it’s important to look at the mindset/emotional component but to also work with a functional medicine practitioner who can run the correct testing to determine if a hormone imbalance, gut disorders, food allergies or other imbalances are to blame for your chronic fatigue symptoms.

At London Bioidentical Hormones, our team takes a holistic approach to any chronic disorder – including chronic fatigue. In fact, it’s less about the official label (being diagnosed with CFS), and more about investigating the “why.”

Once we do the correct testing, we craft a precise treatment plan unique to your needs that includes all the elements you need to finally leave your chronic fatigue behind.

This can include treatments like bioidentical hormone replacement that can help to rebalance your body and kick chronic fatigue to the curb.
