Chronic Fatigue: Are Hormones the Root Cause?
By
Are you constantly feeling exhausted, sluggish, tired, and drained of energy? Chronic fatigue syndrome can make it difficult to have a productive day, even with a full night’s sleep. It can also leave you weary – physically and emotionally. A hormone imbalance may be the culprit. The good news is that the functional medicine practitioners at Infinity Wellness Center have the experience and solutions to help you overcome your chronic fatigue. We’ll take a look at why hormonal imbalance may cause chronic fatigue, identify if you suffer from it, then explore how you can overcome your symptoms.
How do hormones impact your energy levels?
Hormones, which are part of your endocrine system, are chemical messengers in the body which regulate mood, growth, energy levels, and other core functions. Our goal is to maintain a state of equilibrium, where hormones are properly balanced, and the body has the right amounts to function properly. At certain times, though, hormones become unbalanced when part of the endocrine system feedback loop is blocked. This is when your mood, physical growth, and energy levels can shift dramatically. Two of the most common areas that block the feedback loop are your thyroid and adrenal glands. If they are under stress and can’t function properly, their correct signals aren’t sent through your endocrine system. The result: chronic fatigue. Let’s determine if you suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome.Testing for chronic fatigue syndrome.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is complex because it doesn’t have a single root cause. There are many medical conditions or imbalances – including hormones – that can bring about chronic fatigue. However, despite different causes, symptoms remain the same. Some of the most common symptoms include:- Difficulty getting up in the morning
- Insomnia or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Brain fog
- Poor memory and forgetfulness
- Decreased ability to handle stress
