Always Tired? Here’s How to Tell If It’s Chronic Fatigue | Dr. Mark Hyman

Are you tired of feeling tired all the time? You're not alone—burnout is one of the most common complaints I hear from patients. In this episode, I dive into the root causes of chronic fatigue, including how mitochondrial dysfunction could be sabotaging your energy levels. I’ll share my personal journey with chronic fatigue and explain how functional medicine can help you boost your energy and finally feel like yourself again.

I`ve been tired all my life due to Hashimoto. However, recently only I`ve started intermittent fasting and despite getting up at 5 am and earlier, having just one coffee a day and teaching full time in a boys` school, I feel absolutely amazing. I stopped craving sugar, I have more energy and my face stopped swelling (that depends on stress at school, but I try to just go with the flow - I can`t change the world). So, shwey, shwey, I`m getting there.

Unlike my MD's, this doctor seems to have the solutions for all health problems. Amazing!

Lauricidin and D-Ribose was a game changer for me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I took high dose vitamin C, D, Bs, electrolytes, keto, the vegan..nothing helped.
Lauricidin full dose, 3 times a day and D-Ribose, 3 times a day made feel better literally within hours. I was bedridden for 3 months. Within hours i was up and walking.
Good luck. CFS is a motherf"%^er. Hope this helps everyone

A glaring hole in this for me was lack of discussion or any mention of the role of infectious diseases. I experienced CFS in my 20s as sequelae from EBV infection, and many people today are experiencing fatigue from long covid. Post viral syndrome is a major cause of fatigue. You would not know this from this video!

Two hours sleep and unable to get rest. A Dr killed my Mom and I need help. Hopefully will get relief from Stress Myocarditis... Broken Heart Syndrome. It become chronic. Just last night I had yet another issue numbness of my extremities, fingers toes and brain fog. I don't need testing. I have the diagnosis. Depression, inflammation from stress hormones. Thank you for the information.

Im always tired because of inflammation in my sinuses. 2 months ago ive had surgery on my nose and sinuses, after that i had to take antibiotics and lots of anti inflammatory medication, and ive never felt this good for the past 15 years. Now since a week or two im starting to feel really tired again, headaches, mucus in the back of my throat… i got no allergies, no mold, i got an air purifier… i really don’t know what to do anymore… i can’t take antibiotics and stuff for the rest of my life 😢

a stellate ganglion block that lowered sympathetic nervous acticvity, improved cerebral bloodflow, LSD helped as an antiinflammatory and helped improve my mitochondrial function, and HBOT helped get rid of viral reservoirs and regenerate vessel formation in my brain, and worked for my moderate ME. I am in remission since three months after 10 years of illness.

constant stress makes me tired, we cannot run away from hardships but also we are tired and afraid at the same time. I want to escape but there's no escape. I've to face them but I don't feel ready for it. emotionally weak.

That’s how I feel physically depressed !! 25 hours of labour with a slipped disk plus epidural totally messed up my adrenals and mobility

I had chronic fatigue for years and no doctor could figure it out till my current one who guessed correctly and verified it was sleep apnea .
Very very common especially with overweight people . Since getting my weight down apnea has gone away . 👍🏻

This begins as an advertisement for a company he owns, then continues as a promotion for a company in which he has a financial stake. And I lost count of the number of times he said, "and you need to take...".

This video did not actually talk about “How to Tell if it’s Chronic Fatigue”. There’s a huge difference between just being tired and not having a lot of energy each day vs ME/CFS. This video is not talking about ME/CFS!

This doctor should get together with a POTS specialist to discover best treatments or possible cures for POTS and other dysautonomia conditions.

The extreme fatique is a real struggle but always feeling sick like you have a stomage bugg and a horrible case of the flu is way worse for me.
For 3 years i just could drink a little bit of water, eat some vegetables and a litlle peace of meat on a good day.
And it started al out of nowhere. I was perfectly healty! I was cooking diner i started feel sick and never got healty again.
That was 20 years ago.
I am out of my bed and my wheelchair now so i am very gratefull but i always have to live on a tight scedule if i dont i get realy realy sick!
