You sleep eight hours and wake up flat. You drink a coffee and you're still tired. By 3pm you'd lie down on the floor if it were socially acceptable. Your bloods come back "fine" and you go home with no answers and a lower opinion of your own body.
Why am I always tired no matter how much I sleep?
Fatigue with normal-looking bloods is almost always one of three things: subclinical thyroid dysfunction (TSH alone misses it — free T3 and reverse T3 tell the real story), low ferritin (under 70 is functionally insufficient even when "in range"), or HPA-axis dysregulation (cortisol high when it should be low, low when it should be high). Most chronically fatigued women have at least two of those, undiagnosed.
What we test
Comprehensive thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, antibodies), full iron studies with a ferritin target of 70+, a DUTCH cortisol curve, B12 active, vitamin D, and fasting insulin. Most clients have a measurable shift in energy inside four to six weeks once the actual driver is addressed.
