Chronic Fatigue: Reclaim Your Energy and Life
If you're waking up tired, struggling to focus, or feeling like you’re running on empty no matter how much you rest—you’re not alone. Chronic fatigue affects millions of people and is often dismissed or misunderstood by conventional medicine.
At our clinic, we adopt a functional medicine approach to address chronic fatigue, helping you uncover the underlying reasons for your exhaustion. Our goal is to facilitate energy restoration, allowing you to regain clarity and wellness on your journey back to vitality.
⚡ What Is Chronic Fatigue? Chronic fatigue goes far beyond just feeling "tired." It’s a persistent, whole-body exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest and often includes symptoms such as: Low energy or stamina, brain fog or memory lapses, sleep that doesn’t feel refreshing, muscle aches or joint pain, dizziness or lightheadedness, low mood or motivation, and sensitivity to stress or overwhelm. If these symptoms resonate with you, your body may be experiencing adrenal fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient depletion, or chronic inflammation—all of which can severely impact your energy restoration and overall cellular energy production. Exploring these issues through functional medicine can provide insights into managing chronic fatigue effectively.
🔍 Common Causes of Chronic Fatigue We Investigate
We go beyond a basic blood panel to uncover often-missed drivers of chronic fatigue: Adrenal dysfunction and cortisol imbalance, thyroid disorders (including subclinical hypothyroidism), post-viral fatigue (including long-haul syndrome), mitochondrial burnout, nutritional deficiencies (B12, iron, magnesium, CoQ10), hidden infections (EBV, Lyme, mold toxicity), gut dysbiosis and leaky gut, and hormonal imbalances (low estrogen, testosterone, DHEA). Our approach integrates functional medicine principles to promote energy restoration through a comprehensive understanding of these factors.
🩺 Dr. Faria’s Functional Medicine Approach
With over 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Manuel Faria, DC, NMD, DACBN, Dipl.Ac. specializes in helping patients uncover the true drivers behind their chronic fatigue and achieve energy restoration naturally. His functional medicine approach includes:
- Advanced lab testing (thyroid, adrenals, mitochondria, inflammation, gut health)
- Root-cause analysis (toxins, viral load, mold, hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiency)
- Mitochondrial and adrenal support using clinical-grade supplements
- Custom nutrition plans to reduce inflammation and support energy metabolism
- Detox protocols if toxic burden is contributing to fatigue
- Acupuncture and nervous system regulation to rebalance stress response
Each protocol is personalized to your biochemistry and lifestyle—not a generic fatigue “treatment.”
