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.
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 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.
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.
