Low Energy & Fatigue
Feeling tired all the time is not something you should have to push through. Low energy can creep in gradually or hit suddenly, and it often feels disruptive - affecting your mood, motivation, concentration, digestion, skin and even your appetite.
Fatigue can have many overlapping causes and is simply your body signalling that it needs more support in certain areas. This guide explores why energy dips vary so much between individuals, what lifestyle and nutritional factors may contribute, and how a personalised approach can help you feel more like yourself again.
Why energy levels vary from person to person
Everyone’s energy system is different. Two people can have the same workload, diet or sleep schedule and still feel completely different. That’s because your energy depends on far more than how much sleep you get. It’s influenced by blood sugar balance, nutrient status, thyroid and reproductive hormones, digestion, stress load, emotional wellbeing and even your menstrual cycle phase.
For some, fatigue shows up as difficulty waking in the morning; for others, it’s an afternoon crash, brain fog, irritability or a sense of being wired but tired. Understanding your unique energy patterns helps identify where support is most needed.
Common factors that may contribute to low energy
Low energy often comes from a combination of nutrition, lifestyle and hormonal influences. These may include:
Irregular eating patterns or long gaps between meals
Low protein intake
Blood sugar dips
Poor sleep quality
High stress or emotional load
Nutrient insufficiencies
Thyroid or menstrual cycle imbalances
Dehydration
Digestive concerns affecting nutrient absorption
Not all of these apply to everyon, but exploring them all with the support of a professional, can help you understand where your body needs more support.
Working with me
Fatigue can be dehbilitating. I work with clients struggling with low energy over a three month period which allows us to take things slowly whilst you slowly recoup your energy. During the consultations we'll look at how long the fatigue has been present, how it fluctuates throughout the day and how it interacts with your eating habits, stress, mood, digestion and sleep.
We'll explore all the factors mentioned above, including your eating patterns, blood sugar control, sleep quality, stress levels and management techniques, hormonal patterns, digestive symptoms, hydration and movement. This helps build a clear picture of what's contributing to your low energy and how best to support you.
When to speak to your GP
You should speak to your GP if your fatigue is severe, persistent, worsening, unexplained, interfering with daily life, or accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, breathlessness, unexpected weight changes, night sweats, swollen glands, palpitations or anything that feels unusual for you.
Nutritional therapy can complement medical support, but it should never replace appropriate investigation or treatment.
