Fatigue & Stress Response

A guide for those who feel tired all the time, overwhelmed, or wired but tired

When Rest Isn’t Enough, We Find Out Why

You wake up tired. You crash mid-afternoon. You push through your day with caffeine, but deep down, you know something’s off. At Lam Clinic, we specialize in identifying the root cause of chronic fatigue—whether it’s hormonal, cardiovascular, neurological, or metabolic. By understanding the full picture of your stress response and recovery systems, we help you restore your energy naturally.

What Fatigue Might Be Telling You About Your Health

Fatigue isn’t just “being tired.” It could be a signal that your body is out of balance in deeper ways, such as:

  • Adrenal Dysfunction — burnout, low energy
  • Electrolyte Imbalance — dizziness, dehydration
  • Catabolic State — muscle loss, poor recovery
  • Cold Hands & Feet — low circulation
  • Afternoon Crash — cortisol imbalance
  • Weight Changes — thyroid or metabolism issues

Frequently Asked Questions

Occasional tiredness is normal, but persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, along with brain fog, anxiety, or trouble handling daily stress, may indicate deeper imbalances in your stress response system. At Lam Clinic, we help identify whether adrenal or hormonal regulation is involved, and guide you toward safe, supportive strategies for recovery.

Yes. Stress hormones influence sleep, digestion, immunity, and metabolism. Over time, constant stress can cause symptoms such as low energy, insomnia, frequent infections, or even weight changes. Understanding how your body reacts to stress is the first step toward restoring balance.

While they provide temporary relief, stimulants often worsen the cycle of crashes and dependency. We focus on restoring your body’s natural energy production through nutrition, lifestyle pacing, and stress regulation.

Recovery time varies depending on severity, overall health, and lifestyle. Some notice improvements within weeks, while others may need months for deeper healing. Progress is best achieved with a step-by-step, individualized approach.

Yes, if needed. Cortisol mapping can help show whether your daily stress rhythm is out of sync. At Lam Clinic, testing is combined with a thorough clinical evaluation to create a personalized plan for recovery.

We use a comprehensive assessment to understand how your body is handling stress, then build a personalized plan that may include nutrition support, lifestyle pacing, nervous system regulation, and gradual rebuilding of resilience.
