Fatigue

Overview

Common drivers include sleep problems (shift work, apnea), nutritional issues, thyroid or blood sugar disorders, anemia, chronic infections/illness, medications, deconditioning, depression/anxiety, and high stress load. Seek medical advice for red flags like chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, significant weight loss, bleeding, or persistent fever.

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Classical frameworks attribute fatigue to imbalance and impaired digestion/metabolism, emphasizing restorative routines, gentle movement, stress reduction, and nourishing, easy-to-digest foods—complementary to medical evaluation.

Diet & Lifestyle

• Regular sleep schedule; reduce late-night screen time; evaluate for snoring or apnea if present.
• Balanced meals with proteins, whole grains, colorful vegetables; hydrate well; limit alcohol and ultra-processed foods.
• Gradual activity: start low, go slow; sunlight exposure in the morning; brief movement breaks during the day.
• Stress care: breathwork, meditation, journaling; consider counseling for mood or burnout.
• Review medications/supplements with your clinician; manage thyroid, anemia, diabetes if applicable.

Some Home Remedies (Comfort)

• Warm water or herbal teas; avoid iced drinks with meals to support digestion.
• Light, timely dinners; avoid heavy late meals; prioritize consistent bed/wake times.

Discuss any herbs/supplements with your doctor to avoid interactions or side effects.
