QUESTION from Austin Reader

“I'm feeling constantly fatigued, even with 8 hours of sleep. Could this be related to my diet or stress levels?”


EXPERT RESPONSE by Dr. Sarah Chen

“Fatigue is a common complaint, often multifactorial. While sleep is crucial, investigate possible dietary culprits like hidden sugar or inflammatory foods. Chronic stress also depletes vital nutrients. Consider a comprehensive blood panel and a food diary for deeper insights. Our holistic health assessment can help pinpoint the exact issues.”
