Can’t remember the last time you woke up feeling refreshed, energetic and ready to take on the day? You’re not alone. In fact, almost every week, someone comes into the clinic complaining of tiredness.<\/p>\n
While there are many quick fixes for persistent fatigue – like that third cup of coffee – my approach is all about integrating different medical perspectives to find the root cause and recommend solutions tailored to you.<\/p>\n
The Dr Houda 360 degree approach to health means considering each of the following perspectives:<\/p>\n
The GP’s perspective<\/strong>: First, we need to rule out physical ailments. Tiredness is a common symptom of thyroid conditions, diabetes, anaemia, vitamin deficiencies, menopause and many other issues.<\/p>\n The lifestyle perspective<\/strong>: Is your work schedule compromising a good night’s rest? Do you find time to exercise? Do certain foods make you sleepy? Reviewing your sleep pattern, physical activity and diet is essential for finding the root cause of fatigue.<\/p>\n The functional medicine perspective<\/strong>: A growing field of bioenergetics can help identify the causes of low energy at a cellular level. This perspective can identify what’s causing chronic fatigue, sleep deprivation and more.<\/p>\n The mental health perspective<\/strong>: Feeling tired is a common symptom of depression, so considering your mood and mental wellbeing is a vital part of my approach. Schema therapy (Psychotherapy modality) can help us identify if underlying patterns of behaviour, such as having ‘unrelenting standards’, are draining your energy.<\/p>\n When you see me for tiredness or fatigue, we’ll get to the root of the problem by:<\/p>\n Your fatigue treatment will be tailored to your health and lifestyle. A personalised roadmap to living fatigue-free could include:<\/p>\nCorrecting any medical conditions or deficiencies we diagnosed. You can book a 360 analysis for fatigue or tiredness as an online video consultation, a face-to-face appointment or even a home visit.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fatigue About Fatigue Can’t remember the last time you woke up feeling refreshed, energetic and ready to take on the day?
