Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Fatigue Isn’t “Just in Your Head”—It’s in Your Biology

If you’re waking up tired, dragging through the day, and feeling like your brain just won’t turn on—despite getting rest—there’s likely an underlying cause. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a real, multi-system condition that affects energy production, hormone balance, immune regulation, and brain function.

We don’t treat fatigue as just a symptom. We treat it as a diagnostic starting point.

Common Symptoms We See

Persistent, unrelenting fatigue
Brain fog and slow processing
Muscle weakness or soreness
Sleep that doesn’t restore energy
Post-exertional malaise (worsening symptoms after activity)
Mood changes and sensitivity to stress

Our Functional Approach to Chronic Fatigue

We investigate all the systems that regulate your energy and repair capacity:

Mitochondrial Function – How your cells make energy (ATP)
Thyroid and Adrenal Health – Core hormonal regulators of energy
Digestive & Nutrient Absorption – Supporting metabolism and repair
Immune & Viral Load – Chronic infections like EBV, HHV-6, or post-COVID
Environmental Stressors – Mold toxins, heavy metals, or chemical exposure

Our Testing Toolkit

We go beyond basic labs to get real answers:

Organic Acids Testing (OAT)
DUTCH Complete Hormone Testing
Comprehensive thyroid panels (Free T3, rT3, TPO)
Epstein-Barr Virus, HHV-6, Lyme screening
Mycotoxin and biotoxin exposure panels

What Recovery Looks Like

Every plan is custom-built. Depending on your results, we may recommend:

Clinical-grade mitochondrial support (e.g., CoQ10, NAD precursors, carnitine)
Hormone balancing or thyroid optimization
Anti-viral or immune-modulating support
Detoxification of mold or environmental toxins
Stress and nervous system regulation protocols (HRV, vagal tone, pacing)
