Chronic Fatigue Help & Treatment
If you’re exhausted despite sleeping, can’t recover from physical activity, and experience brain fog that makes work or daily tasks feel impossible, you may have chronic fatigue. At RedRiver, we use functional medicine to identify the underlying triggers of your fatigue and help you regain your life.
Possible Causes of Chronic Fatigue
Hormonal Imbalances
Individuals with chronic fatigue sometimes also experience abnormal thyroid, adrenal, or sex hormone levels. These hormonal imbalances can significantly impact energy production, stress resilience, and recovery from exertion.
Problems with the Immune System
People with chronic fatigue may have dysregulated immune function, in which chronic immune activation or immune exhaustion drains their energy reserves. This contributes to fatigue, poor resilience, and poor recovery.
Viral Infections
Some individuals develop chronic fatigue after contracting a common viral infection. The immune system's response to the infection can trigger prolonged fatigue and post-viral syndrome, even after the infection has cleared
What Causes Chronic Fatigue?
Conventional medicine often labels chronic fatigue as “idiopathic,” meaning the cause is unknown.
However, research reveals that chronic fatigue typically involves multiple overlapping factors that can include viral infections, mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic imbalances, chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut dysbiosis, sleep dysfunction, and persistent stress.
The good news? RedRiver investigates your unique trigger profile to identify which specific factors are driving your fatigue, then creates a personalized plan to address them.
Gender
Chronic fatigue is 1.5 times more likely to occur in women than in men. This, however, may be due to women being more inclined to report their symptoms to a physician.
Age
Although chronic fatigue can develop at any age, the condition is most common in individuals between the ages of 20 and 50.
Stress
People may develop chronic fatigue when they are not able to manage stress effectively.
How We Treat Chronic Fatigue
We use comprehensive testing to identify the specific triggers behind your fatigue, enabling us to address root causes rather than just manage symptoms.
We then design a personalized treatment plan focused on restoring energy metabolism and immune function. We educate you throughout the process so you understand your condition and can take an active role in your recovery.
Most patients notice meaningful improvements in energy, mental clarity, and exercise tolerance within 90 days.
