Fatigue: Why You’re So Tired and How to Get Your Energy Back

You sleep. You rest. You eat (mostly) well.
But you’re still tired. Every. Single. Day.

Whether it hits in the morning, creeps in after lunch, or lingers all day—fatigue is one of the most common complaints we hear at Ask Dr Olz.

But fatigue is not a diagnosis—it’s a signal. Your body is telling you something’s out of balance. The solution isn’t more coffee. It’s deeper investigation.

Common Causes of Fatigue

1. Adrenal Fatigue / HPA Axis Dysfunction

• Result of long-term stress and overexertion
• Cortisol patterns become disrupted—too high or too low
  → Exhilarin (adaptogens including ashwagandha) helps restore rhythm

2. Iron or B12 Deficiency

• Common in women, vegetarians, or those with heavy periods
  → Hemagenics offers iron, B12, and synergistic nutrients for red blood cells

3. Mitochondrial Dysfunction

• Your cells can’t convert nutrients into usable energy
• Often due to chronic inflammation, toxicity, or nutrient depletion
  → Use mitochondrial support like MitoVive or CoQ10

4. Blood Sugar Swings

• You crash after meals, feel “hangry,” or rely on stimulants
  → MetaGlycemX supports stable glucose & insulin

5. Thyroid Imbalance

• Especially if you also experience cold sensitivity, brain fog, or stubborn weight
  → Functional testing for T3, reverse T3, and antibodies often needed

6. Sleep Disruption

• Poor quality sleep—even with enough hours—leaves you foggy and flat
  → Support with Magnesium Glycinate, calming botanicals, or lifestyle coaching

When to Seek Help for Fatigue

You shouldn’t feel tired all the time.
If you:

• Wake up exhausted even after 8 hours
• Rely on caffeine or sugar to function
• Have mood swings, brain fog, or hormonal symptoms
• Feel dismissed by regular checkups

…it’s time for a root-cause evaluation.
