Tired All the Time? Why It’s Probably Not Just Stress

Tired All the Time? Why It’s Probably Not Just Stress

Lifestyle of Greatness Functional Medicine | Victoria, BC

Let’s be honest — feeling tired is practically considered normal these days.

Whether it’s the demands of work, parenting, poor sleep, or an endless to-do list, most people assume their fatigue is simply due to “being busy.”

But what if it’s not just stress?

What if your fatigue is a signal — one your body has been trying to send for a while?

At Lifestyle of Greatness Functional Medicine, we believe fatigue is never random. It’s one of the most common (and most overlooked) signs that something deeper is going on.

Common Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue

Here are just a few of the hidden issues we see time and time again:

1. Adrenal Dysfunction

Chronic stress can wear down your adrenal glands, disrupting cortisol levels and leaving you wired, tired, or both. If you’re constantly dragging through the day but wide awake at night — this could be why.

2. Hormonal Imbalances

When your thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, or progesterone levels are out of sync, fatigue is one of the first symptoms to show up. These imbalances often go undetected in conventional lab work.

3. Nutrient Deficiencies

Low levels of B12, iron, magnesium, or vitamin D can leave you feeling foggy and flat — even if you eat relatively well. We use advanced lab testing to find what’s missing.

4. Poor Gut Health

An imbalanced gut can interfere with nutrient absorption, increase inflammation, and even affect your mood and energy levels. Fatigue and bloating often go hand-in-hand.

What Functional Medicine Does Differently

Unlike the quick “you’re fine” response many people get from traditional providers, our approach is to ask why you’re tired — and keep asking until we find answers.

We use:

• Comprehensive lab testing

• In-depth health histories

• Personalized lifestyle and nutrition plans

• Targeted supplements when needed

Our goal isn’t just to help you feel less tired.

It's to help you feel energized, focused, and fully alive again.
