Fatigue is one of the most common — and most frustrating — reasons people seek medical care. In this episode of Between Two White Coats, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster take a deep dive into what it really means when you’re “always tired.”
They break down the important difference between sleepiness and true fatigue, and walk through the many possible causes — from poor sleep, stress, nutrition, blood sugar issues, vitamin and iron deficiencies, thyroid and hormone imbalances, medications, and mental health concerns, to more serious conditions that should never be ignored.
With a practical, patient-centered approach, this episode helps listeners understand when fatigue may be lifestyle-related, when it’s a signal to dig deeper, and why feeling exhausted all the time is not something you should accept as normal.
If you’ve been feeling run down, burned out, or low on energy, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and guidance on next steps toward better health!
