Persistent Fatigue in Winter: When to See a Naturopathic Doctor

Feeling tired all the time is one of the most searched health concerns — and one of the most frustrating. If rest doesn’t seem to help and coffee feels like a necessity, your body may be asking for support. Fatigue is rarely caused by just one thing. It’s often the result of multiple systems being out of balance.

Common Causes of Ongoing Fatigue

Some of the most common contributors to persistent low energy include:

• Poor or inconsistent sleep

• Chronic stress or burnout

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Digestive issues affecting absorption

• Hormone imbalances

• Dehydration

Understanding why you’re tired is the first step toward feeling better.

How Naturopathic Medicine Can Help with Fatigue

A naturopathic consult looks beyond symptoms to understand patterns in sleep, stress, nutrition, digestion, and hormone health. This may include:

• Nutrition strategies to stabilize energy

• Sleep and stress support

• Targeted supplements (based on your individual needs)

• Testing, when appropriate, to rule out deficiencies or imbalances

Supporting these foundations often plays a key role in improving energy over time.

Acupuncture & Energy Regulation

Acupuncture is commonly used to help regulate the nervous system and support circulation. Chronic stress can keep the body in a “wired but tired” state, making true rest difficult.

By supporting relaxation and balance, acupuncture may help improve sleep quality and energy regulation — especially for those feeling depleted or burned out.

IV Therapy & Injections: Exploring Support Options

Hydration and nutrient status are essential for energy production. For some people, digestion or lifestyle factors make it difficult to meet their needs through food alone.

A consult can help determine whether IV therapy or injections may be a supportive option for hydration and nutrient support — particularly during periods of high stress, illness recovery, or persistent fatigue.
