Chronic Fatigue Support for Women

Chronic fatigue is more than feeling tired — it’s a condition that can significantly affect your quality of life. At Grand Clinic, Dr. Austin takes a personalized, whole-person approach to supporting women experiencing persistent fatigue. By evaluating potential contributing factors, she helps patients explore strategies to improve their energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being.

What Is Chronic Fatigue?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex condition involving prolonged exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity. While its root cause varies, it is often associated with hormonal imbalances, immune system changes, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic stress. Dr. Austin’s approach focuses on identifying those contributing factors and designing a personalized care plan to help support your wellness.

Potential Contributors to Chronic Fatigue

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormonal shifts — such as thyroid dysfunction or adrenal imbalance — may impact energy levels. Dr. Austin evaluates hormone levels and, when appropriate, may offer clinical therapies or support options based on your results.

Supportive strategies may include:

  • Hormone evaluation and provider-directed therapy
  • Nutritional and lifestyle changes to support hormone balance

Sleep Disruption

Sleep quality plays a vital role in energy. Underlying sleep issues such as insomnia, apnea, or circadian rhythm disruption can contribute to fatigue.

Dr. Austin may recommend:

  • Sleep hygiene support
  • Evaluations for sleep disorders
  • Guidance for stress-related sleep disruption

Nutrient Deficiencies

Low levels of B12, iron, or magnesium may be linked to low energy and fatigue. Testing helps identify areas where dietary support or supplements may help.

Immune & Inflammatory Factors

Autoimmune conditions or chronic inflammation can contribute to fatigue. Dr. Austin evaluates potential immune contributors and may coordinate additional care when needed.

Chronic Infections

Viruses such as Epstein-Barr (EBV) or Lyme disease may trigger prolonged fatigue. Testing can help identify whether infections are contributing to your symptoms.

How We Support Chronic Fatigue

Hormone Optimization

When clinically appropriate, Dr. Austin may offer hormone therapies to support energy regulation, mood, and sleep.

Nutritional Support

Customized nutrition plans may include testing for deficiencies and targeted supplementation to support metabolic health and energy production.

Immune System & Infection Support

For patients with identified immune or infection contributors, Dr. Austin may incorporate provider-approved therapies, peptides, or referrals as needed.

Stress Management & Lifestyle Adjustments

Stress, burnout, and routine habits can worsen fatigue. Dr. Austin works with patients to implement sustainable strategies — including nutrition, movement, and mindfulness-based practices — to support long-term wellness.

Sleep Optimization

Dr. Austin provides support for sleep hygiene, relaxation, and if necessary, medical review for sleep disruption.
