Fatigue & Systemic Conditions

A naturopathic approach to fatigue and systemic conditions begins with a thorough, compassionate, and highly individualized intake. These conditions are often multifactorial, fluctuating, and misunderstood, requiring careful listening and pattern recognition. This intake prioritizes validation, safety, pacing and long term support, recognizing that overexertion and overly aggressive interventions can worsen symptoms. Care is designed to help patients rebuild stability, confidence, and quality of life at a sustainable pace.

Key areas assessed include:

• Primary symptoms and severity, such as fatigue, post-exertional malaise, dizziness, palpitations, pain, brain fog, memory loss, shortness of breath, temperature intolerance, or allergic-type reactions
• Symptom onset and timeline, particularly following infections (e.g., COVID-19, EBV, Lyme exposure), trauma, or major life stressors
• Energy patterns and exertional tolerance, including crash patterns and recovery time
• Autonomic symptoms, such as orthostatic intolerance, heart rate changes, syncope, or gastrointestinal motility issues
• Immune and inflammatory symptoms, including recurrent infections, histamine reactions, rashes, or flares
• Connective tissue symptoms, such as joint hypermobility, frequent injuries, or chronic pain
• Nutritional intake and absorption, with attention to iron, B12, vitamin D, and other fatigue-related deficiencies
• Sleep quality and circadian rhythm
• Stress load, trauma history, and nervous system regulation
• Medication and supplement history, including previous treatments and sensitivities
• Functional impact on daily life, work, relationships, and mental health
