The Science Behind Chronic Fatigue: Why Traditional Labs Miss the Mark

Published by The Wellness Way Westminster | Westminster, Colorado

Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you haven't slept at all. Your body feels heavy, your mind is foggy, and the simple act of getting through your daily routine feels overwhelming. You visit your doctor, explain your exhaustion, and receive blood work that shows everything is "normal." You're told to reduce stress, get more sleep, or perhaps prescribed an antidepressant. But deep down, you know something more significant is happening.

If this scenario sounds familiar, you're not alone. Chronic fatigue affects millions of Americans, yet traditional medical approaches consistently fall short of providing answers or effective solutions. At The Wellness Way Westminster, we've seen countless patients who have been dismissed, misunderstood, or told their fatigue is "just stress" when sophisticated testing reveals complex underlying imbalances that conventional labs never detect.
