Stop Feeling Tired All the Time with the Help of a Naturopath
Do you wake up feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get? Struggling to get through the day without relying on caffeine or sugar? If you're tired all the time, your body is trying to tell you something. Fatigue is not just about lack of sleep - it has many possible underlying causes. The good news? As a naturopath I can help you uncover and address the root cause of your fatigue so you can reclaim your energy naturally.
How a Naturopath Treats Fatigue Holistically
Rather than just masking symptoms, naturopathy takes a holistic approach to treating fatigue. This means looking at the body as a whole, identifying imbalances, and supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms. As a naturopath, I focus on lifestyle, nutrition, and functional testing to find and address the underlying drivers of fatigue.
Holistic Causes of Fatigue
There are many reasons why you may be feeling tired all the time. Some of the most common holistic causes of fatigue include:
Lifestyle & Emotional Factors:
Mindset-related fatigue: Chronic stress and negative thought patterns drain energy.
Poor sleep hygiene: Inconsistent sleep schedules, blue light exposure, and overstimulation disrupt rest.
Not living in alignment with values: Feeling stuck in a job, relationship, or routine that doesn’t serve you can be exhausting.
Lack of passion and purpose: When you’re not excited about life, your energy suffers.
Lack of boundaries: Saying yes too often leads to burnout.
Circadian rhythm imbalance: Irregular sleep-wake cycles disrupt hormone production and energy levels.
Physiological & Biochemical Causes:
Underactive thyroid: A sluggish thyroid slows metabolism and reduces energy.
Circulation issues: Poor blood flow means less oxygen and nutrients reaching cells.
Nervous system dysregulation: Chronic stress keeps your body in fight-or-flight mode, leading to exhaustion.
Low stomach acid: Impaired digestion prevents nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies.
Gut microbiome dysbiosis: Imbalanced gut bacteria can cause inflammation and poor nutrient absorption.
Autoimmune conditions: These can contribute to chronic inflammation and fatigue due to the immune system not working properly.
Electrolyte imbalances: Minerals like magnesium, potassium, and sodium are crucial for energy production.
Adrenal conditions: The body’s stress response system using the adrenals can get overworked, leading to exhaustion.
Mitochondrial dysfunction: Mitochondria are the energy factories of cells. When they aren’t functioning well, energy production suffers. This can be because of oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies or genetic conditions.
Insulin resistance: Blood sugar imbalances caused by cells becoming resistant to insulin can lead to energy crashes
Liver insufficiency: The liver plays a crucial role in detoxification and metabolism and inflammation or damage can contribute to fatigue.
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as B12, iron, B vitamins, iodine and magnesium, can cause fatigue.
Genetic polymorphisms: Some people have genetic variations that affect nutritional metabolism and energy production.
Calorie deficit: Undereating or restrictive diets can leave the body undernourished without enough fuel to create cellular energy.
Oestrogen/progesterone imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can impact energy levels when there is a lack of ovulation or incomplete metabolism of oestrogen.
Viral infections: Chronic viral infections like Epstein-Barr Virus (the one that causes glandular fever) can contribute to long-term fatigue.
