Fatigue and Low Energy Treatment

Fatigue Is Information

If age alone caused fatigue, everyone the same age would feel equally drained, and that is not what Dr. McCully sees in practice. Most women reach for coffee to push through. It works for a while, then the crashes get worse, and doctor visits turn up nothing but normal labs. Fatigue is your body pointing at something specific and fixable.

What Commonly Drives Fatigue

In more than 20 years of practice, the same drivers show up again and again, often several at once:

• Nutrient deficiencies, such as low iron or vitamin D
• Blood sugar swings
• An underactive thyroid or poor thyroid conversion
• Chronic stress
• Food sensitivities and gut problems
• Hidden infections and toxin load, including mold
• Chronic insomnia
• Hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause
• An underlying illness that was never identified

Dr. McCully checks for these with a comprehensive panel, including a complete thyroid panel, fasting insulin, ferritin and vitamin D, plus a continuous glucose monitor for every patient.

Why Fatigue Rarely Travels Alone

Fatigue usually arrives with brain fog, mood changes, digestive trouble or joint pain, because the systems that regulate energy regulate almost everything else too. Treating fatigue on its own misses the bigger picture. Dr. McCully maps every symptom you carry, physical and mental, and builds one coordinated program to address them together.

“My physicals came back great, but I didn't feel great. I feel like I'm back. I feel like my old self again.”

Who Dr. McCully Helps

Mostly women 45 to 70 across Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, Los Altos, Woodside and Portola Valley who have already been told their bloodwork looks fine. For women whose fatigue started with perimenopause, see perimenopause and menopause care.
