CAUSES OF FATIGUE: CHRONIC STRESS ​​​​​​​​​Chronic stress can lead to symptoms of fatigue. When your body is exposed to ongoing stress, it triggers a series of physiological responses that can lead to physical and mental fatigue. ​​​​​​​​​
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Cortisol utilizes sugars and fats to do what it needs to do. Cortisol is released in response to stress and low blood sugar levels. It has effects on our whole body including our immune system as well as modulates inflammation.

Cortisol plays a crucial role in the body's stress response system which includes the Sympathetic (SNS) and Parasympathetic (PNS) nervous system.

During times of stress (which also includes low blood sugar which is a stressor to the body) Cortisol is released. Cortisol blocks insulin to keep sugar in the bloodstream for quick energy. It increases blood pressure, improves focus with the main goal being to get away from the stress. Fighting a virus or digesting food is not a priority at this time.

In the short term, cortisol increases our ability to fight the stress. However, it also decreases digestion, s*x hormone response and the immune system.

Long term chronic stress may lead to chronic fatigue, blood sugar dysregulation, diabetes, weight gain (especially around the belly), immune suppression, digestive issues , cardiovascular concerns, s*x hormone imbalances including low libido, fertility issues and PMS.

ADRENAL HEALTH: Our adrenal health plays a very important role in our overall hormone health. Our adrenal glands produce s*x hormones. These are the same hormones that decline in levels during perimenopause and menopause. Supporting our adrenal health can have a profound positive effect when managing the symptoms of perimenopause.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Adaptogens are a class of plants whose active compounds help to balance and restore a person’s adrenal health. They support and strengthen the adrenal glands. Adrenal adaptogens can be a life-saver for many women experiencing perimenopausal hormone symptoms. They can help increase energy, improve memory, reduce anxiety, reduce irritability, and even balance out menstrual irregularities. Adrenal adaptogens are not for everyone. They are more likely to benefit a woman who has been through a lot of stress in her life.

If you are experiencing Adrenal Fatigue symptoms that are difficult to tolerate, book an appointment with one of our Naturopathic Doctors. Through a thorough evaluation of your medical history, hormone history and testing your hormones (both adrenal and s*x hormones), we can develop a treatment plan to help you manage your hormone symptoms.

CAUSES OF FATIGUE: LOW THYROID ​​​​​​​​​Low thyroid function, a condition known as hypothyroidism, is commonly associated with fatigue. The thyroid gland produces hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which play a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism. ​​​​​​​​​
When thyroid hormone levels are insufficient due to hypothyroidism, various bodily functions slow down, leading to a range of symptoms, including fatigue.

In addition to fatigue, low thyroid levels may also lead to the following symptoms:
β€’ Weight gain and having difficulties losing weight
β€’ Feeling cold all the time
β€’ Dry skin
β€’ Constipation
β€’ Hair loss including loss of the outer 1/3 of the eyebrows.
β€’ Menstrual irregularities such as missed periods, excessive menstrual bleeding, difficulties getting pregnant and PMS
β€’ Acne
β€’ Facial and eyelid swelling that is worse in the morning

Hypothyroidism can have various causes, including autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease), iodine deficiency, surgical removal of the thyroid gland, radiation therapy, and certain medications. It can also occur without an obvious underlying cause.

CAUSES OF FATIGUE: LOW IRON​​​​​​​​​Being low in iron or having iron-deficiency anemia is one of the most common reasons why someone may be experiencing fatigue. Iron is needed for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When iron levels are low, the ability to transport this oxygen is compromised, resulting in reduced oxygen delivery to the cells of the body.​​​​​​​​​
Symptoms of low iron may include:
β€’ Fatigue
β€’ Hair loss
β€’ Brittle nails
β€’ Brain fog and trouble concentrating
β€’ Feeling cold all the time
β€’ Shortness of breath when you climb stairs
β€’ Dizziness
β€’ Headaches

HOW ARE YOU FEELING? Fatigue is one of the most common health complaints that many people experience. When the fatigue becomes chronic and is accompanied by other symptoms, this is when an individual may see their doctor to seek medical advice and treatment. Fatigue is the main or secondary reason for 10-20% of all consultations with a primary care physician. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When you are fatigued, simple tasks in life can feel difficult. Fatigue can manifest as a feeling of extreme tiredness, weakness, or a lack of energy. Some people may also experience brain fog, muscle aches, mood changes (such as irritability, anxiety or depression) along with their fatigue.

There are many reasons why someone may be experiencing fatigue. It is important to note that fatigue itself is not a specific disease but rather a symptom of an underlying issue.
