Fatigue is one of the most common reasons someone will seek out Naturopathic care. Although there can be many reasons for fatigue or low energy, here are a few common ones:
- Anemia or low iron
- Infections
- Inadequate thyroid function (hypothyroidism)
- Insufficient Vitamin B12 or Folate
- Poor or low cortisol production
Fortunately, 4/5 of these can be easily assessed with a quick visit to the lab. Our Fatigue Panel is a simple blood test that includes an assessment of one’s red and white blood cells – showing any anemia or infection – thyroid, B12, folate, mono and Epstein-Barr.
Admittedly, increasing one’s energy isn’t always that simple but having the right data helps focus your treatment and ultimately find a solution that’s effective for you.
For more info, feel free to connect with any of our Naturopathic Doctors.
To health,
Dr Chanel Cressman, ND
