You’re not lazy, you’re running on empty. If you’re tired all the time, even after “resting,” it’s time to look beyond sleep and coffee.
Most chronic fatigue is driven by imbalances in hormones, nutrients, and cellular function. Here are the top fatigue causes we see in practice at Ask Dr Olz:
1. Hormonal Imbalance
Testosterone, thyroid, cortisol—all directly impact energy. Imbalances lead to poor energy regulation and mood swings.
2. Blood Sugar Crashes
Fluctuations from poor diet, insulin resistance, or skipping meals can cause dramatic energy dips and brain fog.
3. Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Your mitochondria—the tiny engines inside your cells—must function optimally to generate energy. If they’re sluggish, you’re sluggish.
4. Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of iron, vitamin D, B12, magnesium, or CoQ10 are hidden but powerful fatigue causes.
5. Chronic Inflammation
Whether from gut issues, toxins, or stress, inflammation forces your body to divert energy from daily function to “damage control.”
6. Poor Detox Pathways
If your liver is overburdened or sluggish, hormone and toxin build-up can leave you heavy, cloudy, and tired.
7. Disrupted Sleep Quality
Even if you’re in bed for 8 hours, hormone imbalances, stress, and poor recovery can rob you of deep sleep.
