What Causes Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue has multiple overlapping causes in most patients. Iron and ferritin depletion is common and frequently missed when serum ferritin is within the standard reference range but still below the functional threshold. Suboptimal thyroid conversion, where TSH is normal but Free T3 is low relative to reverse T3, produces fatigue that does not respond to thyroid medication because the problem is in conversion rather than production. Adrenal dysregulation, gut dysbiosis reducing B-vitamin synthesis and mitochondrial dysfunction from nutrient depletion all contribute independently and together.

Adrenal Health and HPA Axis Function

Dysregulated cortisol production under sustained stress is well recognised in functional medicine practice. Our Naturopaths assess cortisol patterns using DUTCH testing where clinically indicated and use adaptogenic herbal medicine including Withania, Rhodiola and Eleuthero to support HPA axis regulation.

Post-Viral Fatigue and Long COVID

Post-viral fatigue involves immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation that persists after the acute infection resolves. The pattern of fatigue, brain fog and post-exertional malaise that characterises Long COVID overlaps significantly with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Our Naturopaths approach post-viral fatigue with mitochondrial nutrient support, anti-inflammatory herbal medicine and pacing guidance.

Testing Available for Fatigue

A comprehensive fatigue assessment includes iron and ferritin, a full thyroid panel, B12, folate, vitamin D, inflammatory markers, fasting glucose and insulin, and cortisol patterns. For the full range of tests available, visit our functional testing and functional medicine page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the questions we hear most often, and our practitioners will answer any follow-up enquiries as soon as possible.

Can a Naturopath help with chronic fatigue?
A Naturopath investigates the physiological drivers of chronic fatigue including iron deficiency, thyroid conversion issues, adrenal dysregulation, gut dysbiosis and mitochondrial nutrient depletion. Our Naturopaths build a Wellness Plan around the specific pattern of drivers found in your assessment.
What tests does a fatigue Naturopath use?
A comprehensive fatigue assessment includes iron and ferritin, a full thyroid panel, B12, folate, vitamin D, inflammatory markers and cortisol patterns. DUTCH testing is ordered where adrenal dysregulation is suspected. Your Naturopath will recommend specific tests based on your presentation.
Can a Naturopath help with Long COVID fatigue?
Naturopathic care for Long COVID fatigue focuses on mitochondrial nutrient support including CoQ10 and B vitamins, anti-inflammatory herbal medicine and pacing guidance. Our Naturopaths will refer to specialist services where appropriate.
How long does naturopathic fatigue treatment take?
Patients with iron deficiency or thyroid conversion issues typically see improvement within six to twelve weeks of starting their Wellness Plan. Post-viral fatigue and adrenal dysregulation take three to six months of consistent care.
Can I see a fatigue Naturopath online?
All our Naturopaths offer online consultations for fatigue presentations. Testing kits can be posted to your address and blood test requests can be coordinated with your GP.
