Hormones and Fatigue: Why You’re Tired - and How to Get Your Energy Back
Do you feel exhausted no matter how much you sleep?
Do you crash mid-afternoon - but lie awake at night tossing and turning?
Does even a shower or a simple daily task feel overwhelming?
If this sounds familiar, your hormones may be the reason.
Hormones like thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and insulin control your metabolism, sleep quality, motivation, and overall energy. When even one shifts out of balance, it can lead to persistent, life-interrupting fatigue.
Signs Your Fatigue May Be Hormonal
✔ Constant tiredness and low stamina
✔ Brain fog or forgetfulness
✔ Mood changes — anxiety, irritability, depression
✔ Trouble concentrating or staying motivated
✔ Weakness or reduced muscle strength
✔ Poor sleep or restless nights
These symptoms are far more common than most people realize - and they are not normal.
What Causes Hormone-Related Fatigue?
Hormones can become imbalanced due to:
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
Nutrient deficiencies or poor diet
Sleep deprivation
Autoimmune disorders (like Hashimoto’s)
Insulin resistance or blood sugar swings
Prescription medications
Perimenopause / menopause
Low testosterone in men and women
When your hormones are not communicating properly, your cells can’t produce energy - leaving you worn down and burned out.
How We Diagnose Hormone Imbalances
At True Health Care Utah, we go deeper than a basic thyroid screen.
Your evaluation may include:
✔ A full lab panel (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, vitamin levels)
✔ A detailed symptom and lifestyle assessment
✔ Physical exam and history review
This approach allows us to uncover the root cause of your fatigue.
