Fatigue

Find out why you're tired all the time.

What it is

Fatigue is one of the most common reasons women seek help, and one of the most often dismissed. Routine tests can come back normal while you still feel exhausted.

Lasting energy depends on many systems working together: blood, thyroid, hormones, blood sugar, sleep, the brain and mood. Finding which ones are involved is the key to getting your energy back.

Is this you?

  • Tired on waking, however long you sleep
  • Heavy periods
  • Afternoon energy slumps
  • Poor concentration
  • Low stamina

Common root causes

We look at all three corners of the body–mind–brain triangle.

Body

Low iron, often from heavy periods, thyroid problems, low B12 or vitamin D, blood sugar swings and perimenopause.

Mind

Burnout and carrying a heavy mental load.

Brain

Poor sleep quality, and brain fatigue after illness.

How we assess it

A symptom profile, energy and sleep questionnaires, a full blood panel and a functional neurology examination.

Available in clinic in Llandudno, or remotely by video with home or partner-site blood tests.

Your plan

After your Women's Health Assessment, you receive a personal plan with nutrition, lifestyle and targeted support, regular check-ins, and a retest so you can see what has changed.

About the assessment

If fatigue comes with unexplained weight loss, night sweats or a fever that won't settle, see your GP promptly.

Take the fatigue symptom profile

A short online questionnaire that maps your symptoms and shows whether they are worth investigating. It takes about 5 minutes.
