Why Am I Always Tired? The Real Reasons Behind Fatigue and How to Fix It

Fatigue isn’t just about not getting enough sleep. If you constantly feel drained, sluggish, or like you’re running on empty—even after a full night’s rest—there’s likely a deeper issue at play. At Good Medics, we look beyond the surface to find the root cause of your exhaustion.

Common Causes of Fatigue

🚨 Nutrient Deficiencies – Low levels of iron, vitamin D, B12, and magnesium can cause persistent fatigue.
🚨 Hormonal Imbalances – Thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, and low testosterone or estrogen levels can zap your energy.
🚨 Gut Health Issues – An unhealthy gut affects how your body absorbs nutrients and regulates inflammation.
🚨 Blood Sugar Dysregulation – Energy crashes throughout the day? Insulin resistance or unstable blood sugar may be to blame.
🚨 Chronic Inflammation – Your immune system working overtime can leave you feeling constantly exhausted.

“Fatigue isn’t a lifestyle—it’s a symptom. Your body is trying to tell you something, and the solution isn’t just more coffee.”

How to Fix It

✔ Get Comprehensive Testing – Basic lab work won’t always show what’s wrong. Advanced testing for hormones, micronutrients, gut health, and inflammation can reveal the missing puzzle pieces.
✔ Prioritize Protein & Healthy Fats – Blood sugar spikes from a carb-heavy diet can lead to energy crashes. Focus on protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep your energy stable.
✔ Fix Your Sleep Schedule – Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep in a cool, dark, and quiet environment. No screens before bed!
✔ Support Your Gut – Probiotics, prebiotics, and reducing processed foods can improve digestion and energy.
✔ Address Stress & Overload – Chronic stress depletes your energy reserves. Consider breathwork, walking, and magnesium supplementation to help your body reset.
