Fatigue

Fatigue is more than feeling tired. It’s the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest or sleep. You may wake up already worn down, struggle to get through the day, or feel like your energy fades faster than it used to, even when you’re doing all the “right” things.

Energy is created at the cellular level. That process depends on how your body absorbs nutrients, converts food into fuel, and manages inflammation and stress. These systems are influenced by your DNA. Small genetic differences can affect how efficiently your body produces energy, which may help explain why fatigue can feel constant, unpredictable, or out of proportion to your activity level.

If you want to better understand how your body produces and uses energy, the Silver Helix Nutritional Genetics Test can help. It analyzes your unique genetic patterns to provide insight into nutritional and wellness approaches that may better support your metabolism and energy needs, giving you and your care team clearer information to work with.
