Fatigue can stem from various factors, but here are five common causes, especially in women struggling with hormone imbalances: 1. Blood Sugar Dysregulation • Spikes and crashes in blood sugar lead to energy dips. • Poor insulin sensitivity can cause sluggishness and cravings. 2. Cortisol Imbalance & Adrenal Fatigue • Chronic stress leads to dysregulated cortisol levels—either too high (wired but tired) or too low (burnout). • Poor stress resilience depletes energy over time. 3. Thyroid Dysfunction • Hypothyroidism or suboptimal thyroid function slows metabolism, causing persistent fatigue. • Symptoms often include brain fog, weight gain, and cold intolerance. I check for cellular hypothyroidism with the HTMA mineral test. 4. Poor Sleep Quality • Inadequate deep sleep disrupts hormone repair and energy production. • Causes include high cortisol at night, blood sugar imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies (like magnesium). 5. Nutrient Deficiencies • Low minerals, especially magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, and copper • 6. Poor gut health. Even with a good diet, poor digestion or absorption can contribute if there are infections in the gut, inflammation or leaky gut. The key to gaining more energy is not more caffeine. It’s getting to the root cause of why it’s happening in the first place. This is exactly what I help my clients with. Book a free call on my website. Www.theoptimalhealthsolution.com
