What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chronic fatigue always related to sleep?
No. Hormones, nutrition, inflammation, toxins, infections, stress, and medical conditions
may also contribute.
What kind of testing is involved?
Testing may include comprehensive laboratory work, nutritional evaluations, thyroid and hormone testing, inflammatory markers, screening for toxins, and other targeted
assessments.
How is this different from standard treatment?
Rather than treating fatigue alone, I investigate and address its underlying causes. I
recommend nutritional supplements, sauna, paced exercise, electronic therapies, and
medication.
Can this help if my labs are “normal”?
Yes. Many patients have symptoms despite routine testing appearing normal, and further evaluation may reveal treatable issues
How long does it take to see improvement?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within several weeks, although recovery often occurs gradually.
