What can contribute to fatigue?

Fatigue is often associated with iron deficiency, whether or not anaemia is present. However, it can also result from various other nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions, which can range from mild to severe.

Fatigue wellness assessment

The fatigue wellness assessment comprises of:

  • A consultation with our doctor aimed at comprehending your fatigue, its effects on your daily life, and identifying ways to alleviate your symptoms.
  • Investigate potential nutritional deficiencies. Frequently, symptoms are attributed to daily stress and fatigue, but a straightforward blood test can reveal if they are due to nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of Iron, Vitamin D, or Vitamin B12, among others.
  • Review blood results with our doctors and discuss ways to optimise nutrient levels and achieve well-being.
