91. 3 Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue (and What to Do Instead of Pushing Through)
Hey Friend,
Let’s talk about that bone-deep exhaustion that doesn’t go away no matter how many early bedtimes, supplements, or protein shakes you try.
If you're waking up groggy, crashing at 3PM, and living on caffeine but still feel like you're dragging... that’s not just being “tired.”
That’s chronic fatigue—and it’s not fixed by pushing through.
This week on the podcast, I’m walking you through the 3 root causes of chronic fatigue I see most often in the women I work with—and the exact shifts you can make today to start feeling better.
Here’s a peek at what we cover:
-
Why your cortisol rhythm matters more than your bedtime
-
How blood sugar swings are secretly wrecking your energy
-
The missing link between sleep quality and your stress hormones
-
What to do instead of pushing through and blaming yourself
Plus, I’m sharing the things that helped me move from surviving to actually living—and how we address these same issues inside the Functional Hormone Reset.
💛 If you’ve been told “your labs look fine,” but your body is telling you otherwise—this episode will be a breath of fresh air.
In health,
Lacy Lain
