Nutritional & Metabolic Health

There are several self-care strategies that can help manage chronic fatigue:

• Pace Yourself: Avoid the "push and crash" cycle by setting limits and resting before you feel exhausted.
• Prioritize Sleep: Aim for consistent sleep patterns and address issues like insomnia or sleep apnea.
• Balanced Nutrition: Focus on whole foods and identify any food sensitivities that might be contributing to inflammation or gut issues.
• Stress Management: Try mindfulness, meditation, or therapy to reduce emotional stress.
• Gentle Movement: Low-impact exercise like stretching, walking, or tai chi can help without overwhelming your system.

It's also important to advocate for yourself—find a healthcare provider who listens and works with you to explore underlying causes and appropriate treatments.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all cure for chronic fatigue, but that doesn’t mean people can’t feel better. Management focuses on relieving symptoms and improving function. This might include improving sleep quality, managing stress, treating hormonal or thyroid imbalances, addressing food sensitivities, and pacing activities to avoid overexertion. Some find benefit from dietary changes, gentle exercise like yoga, and working with a provider who understands chronic health conditions. The goal is to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses the root causes and supports overall wellness.
