Metabolic
Fatigue
Persistent exhaustion that does not resolve with rest, often indicating deeper metabolic or hormonal dysfunction.
What is Fatigue?
Chronic fatigue is one of the most common complaints in functional medicine, yet it is often dismissed or inadequately addressed by conventional approaches. True fatigue goes beyond feeling tired — it is a persistent, debilitating lack of energy that interferes with daily activities and quality of life. In functional medicine, we recognize fatigue as a symptom of underlying dysfunction, not a diagnosis in itself.
